GLEN MARY — The Glen Mary is a chance seedling which originated witii 

 Miv Jas. A. Ingram of East Bradford township, Chester county. Pa., (Mr. Jas A- 

 digram is an uncle of Mr. Edward T. Ingram, the well known originator of tlie 

 €amous Brandy wine strawberry.) 



On its native heath the Glen Mary is an exceedingly attractive berry. Its 

 ^sa-ct orgin is not known but its originator had previously only the Crescent, 

 Sharpless and Dower's Prolific and it is supposed to be a descendant of one or 

 jTioi'e of these varieties. It is larger than the Shaipless or in fact any other 

 berry that it has ever been the writer's privilege to look upon. The accom- 

 panying illustration was made from a photograph of a quart basket of t^^ Glen 

 Mary picked by the writer in Mr. Ingram's patch on the 12th day of last June. 

 The basket used was a full sized quart basket and our readers can judge of its 

 IniDiense size therefrom. While the basket is heaped to its utmost capacity 

 ctloaost a quart of fruit piled on above the level of the bask-et only eight berries 

 are visible. In fact it was the grandest basket of strawberries I ever saw and in 

 <juality if not superior to all others was certainly equal to the best. 



In productiveness it far surpasses the Crescent, not in number of berries
