Strawberry, Accomack. Mc Math Bros., Onley, Va. 



First attracted attention in a lot of seedlings set in 1887 on the 

 grounds of the originator, McMath Bros., Accomack Co., Va. The 

 plant is a rank, vigorous grower, and like the Bidwell, is somewhat 

 inclined to stool. The fruit is large and handsome, approaching 

 Sharpless in size ; of good color, excellent flavor, perfect bloomer, 

 and quite as productive as Bubach No. 5. It ripens about five days 

 later than Hoffman and Michel Early, and ten days earlier than 

 Crescent, and holds up well through the season. Introduced in the 

 fall of 1891 and spring of 1892.
