Mascot — (Bisexual). 
After fruiting tlits variety for the- 
past four seasons, I am prepared to- 
say that it is oiie of the largest that 
we are growing. The berries' have as- 
good shipping cpiaKties as the famous 
old Gandy, and if given a fair chance 
will produce two quarts or more to 
the Ganily's one. The plants make a 
healthy and strowg growth, with 
plenty of plants. I see no reason 
why this ahoald not become a popu" 
lar standard variety. The Mascot does 
better on clay soils, but will make 
surprising results on most any .soil 
that will produce strawberries. No 
one will go out of the way in growing 
strawberries, Ijy growing this variety. 
Myers No. 1 — (Bisexual). 
This variety was originated and introduced by Mr. Harvey Myers, a large fruit 
grower of Bridgeville, Del., four or five years ago. It is a late variety, ripening 
with Gandy, but will probably yield double the crop that Gandy will. It is medium 
size, bright red color, perfect in form, no irregular berries-, will succeed either on 
high or low land; vines extremely vigorous and healthy. 
Helen Davis — ( Bisexual ) . 
Early to late; yield enormous crops of very large berries. It is said to be one 
, of the noblest varieties of strawberries that there is in existence. Begins to ripen 
early and continues until late in the season. Berries hold up in size until the last 
picking; foliage tall and light green; runners of meditmi length and many of them . 
A very good pollenizer. 
Three W's — ( Bisexual ) . 
1 have seen no fruit of this variety. The following description, however, is 
borrowed from the introducer : Plants very large and vigorous, with a wonderful 
root system. Fruit uniformly large, glossy red through and through; fine quality 
anil very productive, covering a long season from medium early to late. It is re- 
markably firm, and has wonderful keeping qualities. Berries picked Monday and 
shipped 500 miles to the St. IvOuis Exposition were placed on plates Wednesday 
morning, late Friday evening out of eleven plates only .seven berries could be found 
that were not in good condition. A part of these berries were on exhibition until 
the follow'ing Thursflay. It has also frost resisting qualities.
