Glen Mary 



Originated in Pennsylvania and introduced 

 by myself in 1896. It has become one of the 

 leading standard varieties through New 

 England, the Middle West and Northwest. 

 It has been one of the most popular varieties 

 in this vast territory for over fifteen years. 

 The roots are long and well developed, pro- 

 viding plenty of moisture during a drought. 

 The foliage is large, upright in growth, and 

 dark green in color. The Glen Mary is only 

 semi-staminate; but, as its blossoms carry 

 enough pollen to fruit its own berries, it is 

 listed as a staminate variety, but it is not 

 recommended to plant with pistillate va- 

 rieties. THe berries are big, dark red beauties 

 with prominent seeds of bright yellow. The 

 meat is rich, juicy and crimson; they are of 

 such high flavor that when once eaten more 

 are wanted. As a good, firm shipper it is very 

 popular; for fancy local market there are few, 

 if any, better, and for this reason it is popular with both the large and small growers. One customer says, 

 "I have found no plants to come up with Glen Mary, taking all sides of the question." Another says, 

 "I have grown Glen Mary for several years, and it is my most profitable variety." A New Jersey cus- 

 tomer says, "It is the only variety with which I have made a success."
