Jersey Queen (see colored plate in Strawberry list.) Another year's ex- 

 perience with this Strawberry, fully confirms the high opinion given of it 

 last year, as being one of the very best varieties in cultivation. It will be 

 seen by the colored plate, that it is of the largest size and being solid is one 

 of the heaviest, while its flavor is unsurpassed. It also possesses the 

 delicious aroma peculiar to most kinds of English Strawberries. Our bed 

 this season, did not contain over a thousand plants, yet the odor from the 

 ripe fruit was perceptible two hundred yards distant. " Jersey Queen " 

 is one of the freest growing varieties, and consequently, will be suitable for 

 the poorest as well as the richest soils; altogether it is the nearest ap- 

 proach to perfection in the Strawberry, we have yet seen. 



Golden Defiance, [see colored plate in Strawberry list.) Perhaps the 



lightest colored berrj pf the collection, of fair size, beautiful appearance, 



good quality, and pi average productiveness. 

 Bid well (see colored pUiiain Strawberry list..) One of the best, abundantly 



productive, full arerajre size, excellent flavor, and one of the verv earliest. 



Plants set out^rom pot layers on August 1st, 1881, had fruit ripe June 16th, 



>S£2, 10 months from date of planting. The plants averaged one quart 



of miit each. 



Sharpless (see colored plate in Strawberry list.) "With the exception of Prest. 

 Lincoln, the largest and one of the heaviest berries of the collection. It 

 is of fine flavor, a good bearer, and has deservedly become a standard sort. 



Downing (see colored plate in Strawberry list.) One of the best of the 

 older sorts ; it combines all the best qualities —being large, early, rich in 

 color and flavor, and abundantly productive. 



Jucunda (see colored plate in Strawberry tist.) This isan old well-known 



sort, possessing so many good qualities, that we place it as one of the best 



six in preference to scores of others of later origin. It is of full average size, 



wonderfully productive, great beauty of color and form, excellent flavor ; 



but its distinctive value is in its ripening, extending from the earliest to 



the latest season of the crop, the first berries biin^ ripe here this season, 



about June 20th, and extending unto July 6th, the season being unusually 



late.
