HARRISONS’ NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 11 
Marshall, (Perfect)—The foliage is very bluff and healthy looking and is 
among the most attractive of our plants. We have iruited it now two seasons 
and they are very fine. The plant is beautiful, perfectly healthy, and is a good 
bearer; it is pleasant to the strawberry grower to see them. The fruit is immense, 
of regular roundish form, dark glossy red and of good quality. My stock of this 
is very fine andjwill please you. 
eg Tennyson,—We give Lovetts description: ‘tSome of the finest berries we 
have seen the past season were of this variety. Though rather irregular in shape 
they are of great size, bright scarlet, firm and of excellent quality. The plant 
is a fine grower. with abundant tough, healthy foliage, bearing early in the 
season a heavy crop of very handsome fruit. Later it produces a second crop, 
which, though in smaller quantities, are equally beautiful and fine in flavor. the 
plants continue to produce ripe berries sparingly till frost. This unusual char- 
acter of everbearing, which is manifested more or less in accordance with circum- 
stances give it special value for the family garden; for which its large size, hand- 
some appearance and good quality also recommend it.
