The originator claimed so much for this variety 

 that I discounted what he said of it. I am now con- 

 vinced it was an error to do so; that his statement 

 "There is not another variety of Strawberry that 

 will outyield this giant in size or surpass it in quality " 

 may be accepted with slight modification. It 

 ripens in mid-season, the berries average very large 

 indeed, the color is bright scarlet and the quality 

 mild, sweet and luscious. It is not very firm. The 

 plant is a strong, vigorous grower and among the 

 most prolific. It is a superior variety for the home 

 garden or nearby market. I am pretty sure it has 

 descended from the famous Chas. Downing of 

 twenty-five years ago, and is superior to that grand 

 old variety, even in its palmy days.

L'ntil the appearance of the Van Fleet Hybrids, 

 this variety was unrivalled as a Strawberry of high 

 quality. Berries large, handsome and freely pro- 

 duced on strong growing, healthy plants. Ripens in 

 mid-season and is too tender in texture to endure 

 shipment. It is preeminently a variety for the home 

 garden. 



Rockland Co., N. Y., Aug. 5, 1913. 



The six dozen pot-grown Strawberry plants you 

 sent me last August, all grew vigorously from the 

 the start and supplied us through the season, this 

 summer, with large delicious fruit.

Until the advent of Early Jersey Giant, this was 

 the largest and finest Strawberry that ripened early. 

 Berries large, globular, but slightly conical, lively 

 crimson and unusually uniform both as to size and 

 shape. Plants of strong growth, very healthy and 

 a reliable yielder. It is exceptionally firm for an 

 early berry and best of all, it is of high, rich sugary 

 flavor.

I am disappointed in this Maryland berry. It is 

 of the old Boston Pine type, the berries being of 

 highest quality and beautiful bright scarlet color. 

 The plants are healthy and prolific, but are pro- 

 duced in such lavish profusion that they form a 

 solid mat and thus cause the fruit to be undersized. 

 By restricting the multiplication of plants and with 

 the liberal use of fertilizers, it gives fine fruit ; other- 

 wise it does not. 



Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. Oct. 19. 1913. 



Today I sent you an order for some Raspberries 

 and Blackberries. I wish to thank you for the 

 prompt and satisfactory shipment of pot-grown 

 Strawberries. The plants got here in good condi- 

 tion and are doing finely. I will want some of your 

 autumn, or fall bearing, plants in the spring.
