Norwood — ( Bisexual ) . 
Claimert by the oriffiiiator to be the largest strawberry in existence. Origina- 
tor N. B. White's description —given out in 1908 — the Norwood Strawberry was 
named, and given the first prize by the Mas.sachusetts Horticultural Society at the 
exhibition of 1906. This strawberry is supposed to be a cross between the Marshal 
and Corsican, as it came up wliere the Marshal had been grown, and near where 
the Corsican was grown at the same time. The Norwood is believed to be the best 
all around strawberry in existence; the plant is strong and healthy, making a lib- 
eral numl)er of runners, but not excessive. The berry is conic and regular in shape; 
not a coxcomb berry was found this season. The quality is unsurpassed, and the 
quantity unequalled, .some attaining the enormous size of three inches in diameter. 
Four such berries would fill a box and be crowded. Color bright red all the way 
through, growing darker with age; a good keeper, and will shijp well through the 
season, and remain in bearing a long time. Picked the first box June 18th, and 
the last ones Julv IHtli. The largest berries were found in matted rows or beds, 
allhough the plants had received no extra culture. Plants sold in 1908 at §10.00 
per dozen. 
Chipman — ( Bisexual ) . 
A mid-season variety of large size; fairly 
solid; bright red color; quite regular in 
shape and good flavor. Vine a very strong 
and deep rooter, making very large plants ; 
very clean and healthy, free from rust. This 
variety originated in this county a few ye rs 
ago, and now it is popular over a wide ex- 
tent of territory. I recommend this variety 
to all of my customers, both for table and 
market use. Give it good care and it will, 
bring the cash every time. No one will go 
fir out of the way by planting this variety, 
for either home or market. 
Pineapple — ( Bisexual ) . 
A vigorous grower; berries large, round and well shaped. Beautiful crimson 
color. About the .same firmness as the Haverland; a perfect bloomer, and an abun- 
dant bearer; valuable alike for both home garden and market. It's a great beautv 
and decided pineapple flavor; makes it a variety that commands a higher price on 
the market tluiu the ordinary strawberry. It's of good size, good cropper, and 
one of the very best varieties for market.
