CHOICE STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



OCEAN CITY— (Perfect blossom.) Originated here in Worcester Co., Md. 

 We introduced this last season for the first time, and with good words of praise 

 we can say more for this variety after seeing it fruiting again the past season 

 in a field of eight acres. It was first discovered in a patch of Sharpless and 

 Wilson ten years ago and shows parentage of both varieties. There wore prob- 

 ably other varieties mixed in the patch when originated; plant vigorous; large 

 broad green leaf; fruit as large as Bubach; ripens all over solid; berries have 

 been kept one week and then found to be in good eating condttion. 



For five years the fruit has sold for from 2 to 8 cents per quart in Boston 

 and New York over others shipped from here. The writer has taken special 

 care to look after the fruit and account of sales and can produce them. It is a 

 good yielder. When the field was in full leaf and ready for picking one could 

 not ask for a better berry. We have placed the price very low in order that all 

 our customers can try it. This we think lower than any valuable variety has 

 ever been offered. It is best adapted to stiff rich soil for best results.
