Qoldsborough. P.— Second early. From A. T. Goldsborough , who has origi- 
nated several varieties of high merit, and considers this as near perfection as he has 
been able to reach thus far. The plant is tall, vpith foliage that protects the blossoms 
and berries. The fruit is beautiful in form and color, and the red flesh is juicy, sweet 
and melting. Like the Gandy it bears both perfect and imperfect flowers. 
Good Luck. P. — Late. Originated by Edward Pedrick of New Jersey. This, 
like Chesapeake, won W. F. Allen's hundred-dollar prize, one year later. Pie describes 
it as a very strong grower, and further says, "The fruit, compared with the Gandy is 
equally as large, more productive, and a few days earlier. In shape it is conical to 
wedge shape, with uniformly smooth, even surface, making it very showy, both on 
the vines and in the package." 
Goree. P. — Pearly. An accidental seedling discovered by Mr. Goree of Texas. 
This is one of the varieties whose fruit we missed seeing last summer, much to our 
regret. "The vine is a strong, handsome grower and a good plant maker, enduring 
with impunity the hottest and driest weather. The foliage is of a dark, glossy green 
and perfectly healthy. The bloom is profuse, setting an enormous crop of berries 
which ripen out perfectly and are very firm, the best of shippers. The berries are 
from medium to large, heart-shaped, regular and uniform to an unusual degree, ripen- 
ing all over, of a very rich, glossy, crimson scarlet, and shine as if varnished; seeds 
golden, prominent. Its quality is its crowning glory. It is exceedingly aromatic, 
and has in the highest degree the richest, sweetest, true wild strawberry flavor. 
Flesh solid crimson." 
Gray's Dollar. P.— Medium. From A. G. Gray of Indiana. This is another 
of those varieties which we sold too short last spring. We repeat a portion of Mr. 
Gray's description: "A rank grower and a good plant maker; succeeds everywhere. 
The roots run deep and withstand both drought and freezing. Berries large, perfectly 
formed, pointed and glossy, bright rich red color, and the finest flavored, as well as 
the solidest, best shipper ever introduced. Each plant has from three to six fruit 
stems that stand up well for such an enormous load. It is the best pollenizer we 
have ever grown. Its foliage is light green and never shows any rust or spots. 
Haverland. I. — Early. The mere name of this old favorite would sell plants 
by the ten thousand, and it is needless to occupy space in describing it. We have a 
fair stock of plants, but may wish it were larger before the season is over. 
Helen Gould. I.— Medium to late. From J. R. Peck, of Missouri. After 
having fruited this berry several times we gave it out to the public three years ago, 
and it has been growing in favor ever since. It makes plants of a generous size, 
sends out a moderate number of runners, and is a plentiful yielder. The fruit 
is large, roundish conical, vivid, glossy red with red flesh, and moderately firm. Its 
flavor, though not the sweetest, is delicious. This variety should have an abundant 
supply of plant food. 
Heritage. P. — Midseason. From New Jersey. This is rather new, and has 
not been generally disseminated yet, but in the east it is fast becoming popular. W. 
F. Allen says of it: "It is one of the healthiest and strongest growers that I have 
on the place." S. C. DeCou says: "The berry is unusually large and firm, with a 
shining color which is made the more attractive by its long green calyx. Of the 
many kinds I fruited last year (190cS) this was in every way the most satisfactory. 
Large, handsome, productive, and of excellent quality." 
Highland. I. — Midseason. A chance seedling found by T. B. Carlisle, of Ma- I 
honing County, Ohio. This grand berry was introduced by our firm two years ago. 
We sent it out recommended only by the very temperate reports of the Ohio Exper- 
iment Station, which is justly cautious about bestowing praise. As a result the
