Hoeing- Strawberry plants in August, planted 



Kansas — (Imp.) This popular uew variety was 

 originated in the State from wh.ch it takes its name. 

 The plant is extremely vigorous grower, and as free 

 from disease or rust of any kind as any ever grown. 

 Its drouth-resisting qualities are superb, blossoms pis- 

 tillate. Its fruit is brilliant crimson, not only on the 

 surface, but through and through. This feature, to- 

 gether with its very strong strawberry flavor, will 

 make it, when it becomes better known, perhaps the 

 most popular strawberry for canning ever yet pro- 

 duced. Time of ripening late. It is very productive 

 of fine medium to large berries that make a very hand- 

 some showing in the package, and always attract the 

 best buyers. The berry is firm enough to make a good 

 commercial variety, and as soon as it becomes known, 

 and the price within the reach of the average grower, 

 we shall expect to see it rank high among the standard 

 market berries. 



Lester Lovett— I^esterlvovett possesses all the val- 

 uable properties of the Gandy, with added lateness, is 

 wonderfully prolific and of superior quality. It is a 

 veritable giant in every particular, and is as far supe- 

 rior to the Gandy as is that popular variety to the best 

 late varieties which preceded it. 



Its season is ten days later than Gandy and all other 

 varieties in cultivation, and continues to yield large, 

 fine fruit for two weeks after the last berries of the 

 Gandy have ripened. The berries are globular or 

 slightly conical, uniformly very large and perfect in 

 shape, continuing large to the close of the season ; 

 color brilliant, which they hold better and longer after 

 picked than any other variety I know; exceedingly 

 firm and of high, rich, sweet flavor, with a delightful 

 and decided aroma. — Introducer' s descriptioyi. 



Livingston— (Per.) Is a seedling of theWarfield, 

 poUenized by Jessie. It is a vigorous, healthy plant, 

 with very thick, leathery, dark green leaves that never 

 damp off under mulch. It forms splendid crownsand 

 roots very deep. The berries are a beautiful scarlet, 

 and possess a luster that I never saw on any other 

 berry that gives a well-filled crate the appearance of 

 being constantly swept by flames. Its quality is the 

 very best. The shape is similar to Warfield, but more 

 full at the point. In size it equals the best specimens 

 of the Jessie, and withtheexceptionsof its quality and 

 appearance, its greatest value lies in the fact that its 

 size increases as the season advances.. — Intrnducer. 



Michels Early— (Per.) One among the very earli- 

 est, medium size. Berries rather sour, scarlet in color. 

 A healthy and abundant plant maker. Must be thinned 

 to get best results. An old standard variety and needs 

 no description. 



McKinley— (Per.) From Rochester, N. Y. The 

 plant is a fine grower, of good size, a fair runner, clean, 

 thrifty and productive. The fruit is large, firm, bright 

 red, red clear through, roundish conical in form, very 

 attractive, and of high quality. We consider it a safe 

 and desirable berry to plant for any purpose. The 

 season is medium to late. 



riarsJiall— (Per.) Its home is Massachusetts and 

 there it continues to be a favorite. The plant is verj 

 large and makes runners only sparingly. It really 

 produces more bushels than one would give it credit 

 for in looking at the plants, for it does not set many 

 berries, but nearly every one is large and many are 

 very large. They are of regular form, dark glossy red 

 and very beautiful. The blossom is more tender to 

 frost than some and the plant sometimes rusts. This 

 is not a variety for a careless grower to plant, but 

 every grower of fine berries either for home use or 

 market ought to give it a trial at least. 



riarie — Is one of a lot of seedlings grown in 1892 

 from seed of Crescent, fertilized with Cumberland. 

 When you can get a berry that will make as many 

 bushels as the old Crescent, and as large as Cumber- 

 laud, with good solid color, then you are approaching 

 the ideal in the strawberry. 



O-^i^inator s description. — Marie, grown from seed 

 of Crescent, fertilized with Cumberland, in 1892. Asa 

 seedling it showed great promise. We planted for field 

 culture as soon as sufficient number of plants were 

 obtained, and as yet have failed to detect any weak 

 points in either fruit or plant of this grand variety. 

 The plants are good growers, making plenty of run- 

 ners for a good crop, and show no signs of disease. 

 The blossom is imperfect ; season same as Bubach and 

 Haverland. Equally as large as Bubach. Glen Mary, 

 or Brandy wine, and yielding with any variety; be- 

 sides it is the most attractive in appearance when 

 picked and readvfor market of any in our entire col- 

 lection. The berries are round as a ball, dark crimson 

 in color; flesh dark and quality first-class, holding up 

 in size to the very last pickings. 



After fruiting the Marie last season we are well 

 pleased with same and think them worthy of the above 

 description. 



Nick Ohmer— (Per.) This variety is nolonger an 

 experiment. We fruited about half an acre this season, 

 and in our field of more than 60 acres it was one of the 

 very best in size, color and firmness. The plant is 

 faultless, a strong grower and makes fruit stems very- 

 large that hold the fruit well up from the ground; it 

 therefore does not need mulching. When perfectly 

 ripe it is of a beautiful carmine color and when packed
