He answered in Greene's Fruit 
Grower for January as follows: 
"The Goodell strawberry is one of 
the best varieties that I ever knew, 
and so far I have never heard of any- 
thing but good reports of it, although 
the tests that I know of have mostly 
been in the far West. What it has 
done in the eastern States I know very 
little about, and am not sure that it 
has been widely tested in the latter 
region. If it has not been tried in the 
eastern States, as I think is probably 
true, this should be done, for it is in 
both plaut' and fruit one of the best 
strawberries in existence. It is above 
medium in size, very well shaped, 
never coxcombed and of fine color and 
rich flavor. Every lover of strawber- 
ries should try the Goodell." 
In order to give as many as possible 
a chance to try this wonderful berry, 
we offer it only by the dozen. That 
number will produce plants enough to 
set a good bed next year. Our price 
is 50 cents per dozen.
