HARRISON'S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 



Star — (Per. ) The largest berries we had last season 

 were the Star. Were we to tell you that ten filled a 

 quart you might say that Worcester county will not 

 grow berries of that size, but we grew the Star this 

 large in a low, moist soil, in a favored spot in the 

 garden, and similar soils to this must be had to grow 

 the finest specimen of any of the large berries. When 

 you are looking for something for the fancy market 

 you cannot strike one better than this. The plant is 

 strong, very vigorous and with no sign of rust, makes 

 plants quite freely for such a large berry as it is. In 

 fact it will make twice as many as the Sharpless, 

 which it resembles, although it is suj^erior to this 

 variety with us. The berry is as near perfect in shape 

 as can be possible, bright, glossy red, and of excellent 

 flavor. Its season of ripening is late, 



Sample — (Imp.) The introducer says : "This new 

 berry is large size and fine quality.quite firm, continues 

 a long time in fruit. The berries are large to the last. 

 For the marketman it is the best strawberry ever 

 grown. Yields as many berries as the Haverland, and 

 averages as large as the Bubach. Late." 



Tennessee Prolific — (Per.) A fine one to grow, 

 verv desirable to plant with most pistillate varieties in a 

 general way. Comes up to all former and surpassed 

 all past records when given a chance with other good 

 varieties. The only objection to them is they are a 

 little inclined to be soft, if left too thick in the bed, but 

 if they are properly cared for and not allowed to ripen 

 too thoroughly in the patch there will be no complaint 

 on this account. 



Uncle Jim— New variety introduced by J, F. 

 Ltoman, of Michigan. Berry is verj- large and uni- 

 form in size, of a bright, beautiful red color, of high 

 Quality, and is a variety that is very productive. The 



plan' is large and healthy, with abundant foliage, form- 

 ing a row just right for fruiting. The berries are large, 

 heart-shaped and very uniform — all are handsome and 

 very attractive — an excellent shipper, unsurpassed for 

 canning, and very productive. Season, medium to 

 late. It has a perfect blossom, with plenty of pollen. 



Warfield— (Imp.) To get the best fruit of this 

 variety it must be thinned at least one-half of the 

 runners that are made in order to give it sufficient 

 roorn and sunlight. If neglected a:.d left too thick the 

 berries are sure to be small, but in productiveness it is 

 almost unsurpassed. The berry is dark red color, firm 

 and of medium size. 



Wm. Belt — (Per.) This variety has done extreme- 

 ly well the past season. In fact it is improving each 

 season, showing but little rust, of large size, with 

 some of the largest specimens, a little flattened or cox- 

 combed, very attractive when picked. It is of good 

 quality and will sell well in a fancy market. In our 

 opinion it is one of the very best for the amateur fruit 

 grower. It is more nearly perfect in shape, far better 

 in qualitv, and a better grower than the Bubach. Its 

 color is perfect. 



Yant — A most promising variety which originated 

 in Stark County, Ohio. The disseminator says: "It 

 has been grown for five years and has never failed to 

 produce a good crop of large, fine berries, which 

 attracted the attention of everybody. Plant is a very 

 strong grower and sets iu«t the right amount of plants 

 to make a nice matted row. Its foliage stays green 

 until frost kills it; is free from rust, and plants set 

 as much fruit as the Glen Mary, and the berries con- 

 tinue large to the end of the season. Berries, deep 

 red; blossoms, perfect."
