a chance seed- 
Glen Mary.—This is one of the new ones which pleases us all 
ling originated in Pennsylvania. It is wa 7 
Y y) y 
an exceedingly «ttractive berry, as large 
as Sharpless or larger. The accompany- 
ing illustration is a fair shape of the ber- 
ry, though very much reduced in size. 
In productiveness it equals the Crescent 
in number of quarts, and the berries are 
twice the Crescent in size. The plant is 
a beautiful green robust grower. We 
have fruited this twice in only a small 
way, and have seen it in different places; 
it always showed up extremely well 
with but one exception, and that was in 
a Delaware field. We planted heavily 
of this last season, and we expect to 
plant twice as many next spring—for 
fruit—and we expect to get it. We will 
plant Wm. Belt with it, as Glen 
Mary is only about half perfect. T. C. 
Kevitt, of N. J., says: ‘‘Glen Mary is 
the best strawberry on earth.’’ And to 
show his faith in it he will plant 6 acres 
of it in the spring of ’98. He has test- 
ed one thousand varieties, and this is the 
best of all; hence his faith is pretty 
strong. The Glen Mary picked in our 
section at the rate of one quart per plant 
in a matted row. Do not miss this for your main crop. Price is now in reach.

The originator of Glen Mary may be pardoned for the pride with which he 
speaks of the handsome fruit gathered this year, and his claim must be regarded 
with respect when he says that the Glen Mary produced the largest berries this 
year exposed for sale on the West Chester market. 
The Glen Mary began to ripen at its home in Chester county, Pa., the past 
season on May 28th, and the claim seems warranted that it is capable of produc- 
ing big berries all through the fruiting season. 
Mr. Ingram tells of one particular quart of berries especially selected for pho- 
tography which contained only twelve giant specimens of the Glen Mary straw- 
berry. Can anyone present a better record ? 
New Jersey, June 1, 1897:—The plants came in good order and are entirely 
satisfactory. Isaac CRAMER. 
Ohio. Mess. Harrisons. Dear Sirs:—Received plants April 2d. They were in 
splendid condition, and plants cannot be better LEE S. WEED. 
Giant, (Perfect bloomer.)—Plant large, strong grower, setting only a moder- 
ate amount of plants. The fruit is large to very large, buta little pale in color. 
The writer was on the originator’s grounds last season, and at its home it does 
very well. if there is enough potash used. Recommended for fancy market, where 
fine specimens are wanted. 
Anna Kennedy, (Imperfect Bloomer.)—‘‘Remarkable in uniformity of. size 
and shape, and is of great beauty; a berry to delight the amateur. It is a stout 
vigorous grower with large healthy foliage, bearing abundantly under fairly 
good culture. The berries are medium to large, giobular in shape. very smooth 
and regular, of brilliant flame color, firm, of fine quality, rich and sweet. ‘We 
haye fruited it for several years with great success, and recommend it as an 
abundant bearer of fine berries ripening in mid season. It will charm all who 
enjoy beautiful luscious strawberries. ’’—Introducer’s description. 
Ruby, (Perfect.)—This is a ruby. indeed. The writer saw the fruit grown by 
the originator at St. Louis in June. To say it is a fine berry and a healthy plant 
is putting it mild. It is a cross between Crescent and Sharpless; fruit large; dark 
red in color clear through; firm; high quality. We have only a limited quantity 
of these plants t ooffer. i“? “
