Miller. P.— Early medium. Produced by D. J. Miller of Holmes County, Ohio, 
who is also the originator of King Kdward. Large plants, good runners, prolific 
yielders. Large, handsome berries, red, moderately firm, and of excellent quality. 
Mrs. Miller. I. — Medium to very late. A companion to the Miller, and from 
the same grower. We have given a detailed description of this excellent berry five 
years in succession, and will pass it with few words this time. The plant is vigorous 
and productive. The fruit is remarkable for size, oblong in shape, of splendid color, 
and exceedingly firra. It ranks high in flavor. 
Nettie. I. — Very late. From J. H. Black of New Jersey. In addition to its ex- 
treme lateness this is wonderfully productive, and the fruit is of extraordinary size, 
but poor in color and flavor, and unattractive in appearance. 
Nick Ohmer. P. — Midseason. One of John F. Beaver's choice productions, and 
a fine berry for the amateur. With high culture the fruit is immensely large. It is 
exceedingly handsome, and the flavor is perfect. It needs winter protection, more 
than most varieties, as does also the Kittie Rice. 
Orem. P. — Late. Originated by J. H. Arndt of Maryland. We sold this out 
clean last spring, and bought a fresh supply from Mr. Arndt for our own planting. 
We use his description again: ' 'It is a vigorous grower, and has fine foliage to protect 
the beautiful berries from the hot sun. It comes in with the Gandy, and bears an 
abundance of fine berries even two weeks after the Gandys are gone. It bears about 
three times as many as the Gandy. The berries are exceedingly large and smooth, 
light red with yellow seeds and dark green calyx which makes them very attractive, 
and they ripen all over. They hold their size best of any I ever saw, and are good 
keepers. They can be left on the vines two days after they are ripe, and still be in 
first-class condition for market. The flavor is excellent." 
Oswego. P.^ — Late. A New Yorker from L. J. Farmer, supposed to be a cross 
between Bubach and Sharpless. There are many berries of this type, with only 
slight differences, if any, among them. Corsican, Maximus, Uncle Jim, Wonder, and 
others belong to this class, and every strawberry grower is almost sure to be fami- 
liar with the grand plants and splendid fruit of one or another. They are all made 
on the generous plan, and yield large crops of luscious berries. 
Outlander. P. — Medium. From Goldsborough. This is the variety that won 
the gold medal for the largest strawberries at the Jamestown Exposition. The origi- 
nator says: "In the Haverland class as to type. The berries are of fine uniform size, 
and exceedingly attractive in shape and color. They are oval with a neck and a hand- 
some green calyx. Color bright red with darker hue where the sun strikes. Flavor 
only fair. Every blossom makes good." 
Pride of Michigan. P.— Midseason. From O. A. D. Baldwin of Bridgman. 
This is another of the varieties on which we sold ourselves short last spring, so we 
have not seen the fruit, and will use Mr. Baldwin's description again: "Plant very 
vigorous and healthy, a good plant maker. Fruit stems strong, stand up well, and 
there are plenty of them. Productive. Size and shape about like Haverland, rather 
oblong. Color dark, glossy red. Shipping quality the best; very tough skin and 
firm berry. Plant is perfect and berry is perfect." 
Red Bird. P.— Early. Originated in Mississippi, a cross between Murray and 
Hoffman. Said to be very early in the south, but with us it was a week behind Gill 
and Fairfield. The plant is a luxuriant grower, and the fruit is large, red to the 
center, juicy, and good, though not as sweet as many. 
St. Louis. P.— Early. Known as Goldsborough 's St. Louis. This berry is the 
result of crosses among several foreign varieties. The plants are only medium in 
size, but are healthy, and make runners freely. They are prolific, and should be
