The MANCHESTER STRAWBERRY ; 



From the true and original stock, for sale by 



The Originator, 



JESSE BATTEY, Manchester, 



Ocean County, N. J. 



i demand which has sprung up for this unexcelled new Strawberry, and the desire that the 

 public should not be deceived by spurious plants, •which I have good reasons to believe are offered under its 

 name, have induced me to devote ray propagating fields to the growing of this variety exclusively. I shall 

 therefore be able to warrant every plant sent out by me to he true to name. 



It is safe to assert that no Strawberry introduced within several years has received as many favorable 

 comments from prominent fruit-growers and dealers, and that no other kind corallines as many desirable 

 qualities. For family use as well as for market it stands at the head of the list, and lest my description of it 

 might be considered as actuated by self-interest, I give, here the points of excellence as stated and signed by 

 the best-informed and leading fruit-growers who examined my fields during the bearing season: 



AS COMPARED WITH WILSON'S ALBANY. 



It averages one and a half times the. size. 

 2. It is of much better flavor. 



3. It is far more attractive with its bright scarlet color, and finer in appearance. 

 4. The plant is double the size and far more vigorous. 

 5. It carries the fruit higher from the ground. 

 6. The yield, as it appears, is one-half more. 

 7. In firmness it fully equals the Wilson.
