JERSEY QUEEN. 



This, so far, is the Strawberry par excellence, another 

 season's experience more than confirming all we have claimed 

 for it. It is of the largest size, and being solid it is of the 

 heaviest, while in flavor it is unsurpassed. It also possesses the 

 delicious aroma peculiar to English strawberries. In our own 

 grounds the past season, the odor from the ripe fruit was percept- 

 ible two hundred yards away. "Jersey Queen" is one of the 

 finest growing varieties, and consequently is likely to adapt itself 

 to any soil or situation. It obtained the first prize for the " Best 

 Quart of aDy Variety," at the Exhibition of the New York Horti- 

 cultural Society in June, 1882, where at least thirty other kinds 

 were offered in competition. 



Price, $1.50 per dozen ; $8.00 per 100. 



BIDWELL. Abundantly productive ; excellent flavor ; medium size. One of the earliest. 



SHARPLESS. One of the largest and heaviest berries ; beautiful in color ; excellent flavor. 

 Vigorous grower. Second early. 



DOWNING. One of the best older sorts ; is large, early, rich in color, and abundantly pro- 

 ductive. 



GOLDEN DEFIANCE. Crimson color, with well defined golden colored seeds; average size; 

 excellent flavor. 



JIJCITNDA. We place this yet as one of the best six, though an old sort, as it possesses a combina- 

 tion of all good qualities, besides being, with the exception of Jersey Queen, one of the most 

 beautiful of all on the list. 



Price of all of the above six sorts, except " Jersey Queen" (which we illustrated as the " Cream of 

 the Strawberries" in our colored plate of July, 18^2), in strong transplanted plants, 00 cts. per 

 dozen ; $4.00 per 100 ; or set of the six kinds by mail, three plants of each, for $1.50, including an 

 essay on Strawberry Culture.
