produce plenty of runners. The fruit 
is obtusely conical, fine glossy red, 
very juicy, rather tart, and extra fine 
lor canning. It is only moderately 
firm. 
JULY (I.)— Very late. Plants 
healthy and prolific, fruit perfect in 
f^orm and color, of fine quality and 
above medium in size. Not a good 
shipper. 
LATEST (I.)— Late. The plant is 
healthy, vigorous and prolific. The 
fruit is beautiful — large, long-conical, 
cherry red; sweet and delicious. Not 
very firm. 
MANHATTAN (P.)— Late. An ex- 
cellent variety. It makes plenty of 
plants, and they are large and pro- 
ductive. The fruit is very large and 
somewhat corrugated, but handsome, 
and quite firm. The largest berries 
weigh from one to two ounces 
MARGARET (P.)^This variety is 
remarkable for the vigor and produc- 
tiveness of its plants, and the great 
size, brilliant beauty and delicious 
flavor of its fruit. It makes a very 
long season, and continues large to 
the last. It requires winter protec- 
tion. 
METEOR (I.)— Medium to late. We 
have heretofore classed this as having 
perfect blossoms, but have been in- 
formed within the past year that it is 
imperfect, and change it accordingly. 
It is a stroiig grower, with long, 
bushy roots, and very r'rf>ductive. 
The fruit is large, dark red and 
glossy, and endures unfavorable 
weather remarkably well. 
MRS. MILLER (1.)— Medium to 
very late. A fine variety, healthy and 
prolific, yielding fruit of great size, 
handsome color and rich flavor It is 
remarkably firm. 
MODEL (P.) — Midseason. This is 
entirely new to the public, although 
we have had it for several years, first 
on trial and afterward as our own. 
It was originated and named by Mr. 
M. S. Hubbell, then of West Toledo, 
Ohio. He sent us plants for testing, 
with a description giving the berry 
high praise, which its behavior has 
justified. It is a seedling of William 
Belt, and shows some resemblance to 
that famous variety in both plants 
and fruit. It is a thrifty grower, with 
large foliage, and sends out plenty of 
runners. It yields a generous crop 
of bright red, handsome berries, of 
good size, which excel in firmness 
and are delicious in flavor. The first 
to ripen are cockscombed, like those 
of Wm. Belt. After that t.bey are 
conical. Strawberry lovers who like 
to try new varieties should include 
this in their purcliases. 
NICK OHMER (P.) — Midseason. 
Well known for its great size and 
beauty and its superior flavor. It 
needs winter protection. 
NORWOOD (P.)— Medium early. 
A strong grower, and yields fruit of 
immense size and beautiful color. lis 
flavor is excellent, and it is recom- 
mended as a good shipper. 
OHIO BOY (P.)— Medium to late. 
A rank grower, and makes many 
plants. The fruit is large, dark red 
and good, but sometimes rather rougli. 
OREM (P.) — Late. A thrifty 
grower. Later than Gandy and more 
productive. Berries large, light red, 
and of good quality. Mi-. C. W. Smith, 
of Nova Scotia, sends us an item in 
regard to this berry that is worth re- 
peating, as follows: "Last summer, 
when my wife brought in berries of 
the Orem, nine filled a basket round- 
ing up — four in the bottom and five 
on top, averaging nearly two ounces 
apiece." 
PEARL (P.) — Late. New, and not 
fruited here. It was originated by J. 
W. Loomis, of Indiana, and from his 
description we quote: "Pearl is a 
seedling produced by pollenizing my 
No. 6 with Commonwealth. It is 
three or four days later, coming in 
when other good varieties are gone. 
It is a strong, vigorous grower, mak- 
ing large, strong plants; roots deep, 
and stands drought as well as Dun- 
lap. The foliage is large, and free 
from rust. It throws up as many 
fruiting stems as Gandy, but. unlike 
Gandy, every bloom brings a berry, 
which makes it more productive. The 
fruit is roundish heart-shape, tapering 
to a blunt point, large, and as good as 
Gandy, but lighter colored. A first- 
class shipper." After the fruiting sea- 
son of 1912 Mr. Loomis says: "Pearl 
was better than ever this season. We 
had plenty of rain for the first time 
since I fruited it. I counted the ber- 
ries in one crate — they ran from 25 to 
28 to the quart. I never saw berries 
that averaged as large all through 
the season as Pearl. First picking, 
June 28th; last picking, July 13th. 
Other varieties were nearly gone 
when Pearl commenced." 
Many growers are seeking late vari- 
eties, and it seems from the above tes- 
timony that the Pearl is well worthy 
of a trial. 
REASONER'S 324 (P.) — Midseason. 
A seedling of Gandy, crossed with 
Sen. Dunlap. The plant resembles 
Gandy, but is far more productive, 
though perhaps not as much so as 
Dunlap. It is somewhat similar to 
the latter in fruit, red and glossy, but 
rather firmer. 
REASONER'S 370 (P.)— Midseason. 
late. This descendant of Glendale, 
Sharpless and Dunlap makes strong, 
healthy plants, with thrifty foliage. 
The fruit is of good size, firm and 
sAveet. Its color is described as 
bright salmon, but we should say bril- 
liant light red. It ripens about a- week
