Gardner E. Bunting, Grower of Fancy Fruits, Selbyville, Del. 
Strawberry Plants. 
Duncan — ( Bisexual). 
This variety is very popular; its season being a little later than Parsons, and 
from four to eight days earlier than the Gandy, and so much does the fruit resem- 
ble the Gandy that one would hardly know the difference; also vines resemble 
same. It is one of the greatest plant makers, and should be thinned out to bear 
■A fair crop. It will stand up with the Gandy as a shipper. No grower of straw- 
berries will go out of the way by setting the Duncan for a mid-season .sort. 
Parson's Beauty— (Bisexual.) 
General favorite, because of its many excellencies. It makes a heav}' yield of 
f)right red berries, of mild and delicious flavor. As this is retained after cooking, 
this variety is very popular as a canner. Its appearance commands immediate an<l 
favorable attention. This variety has been extensively grown throughout the 
whole country. Its seeds stand out upon the surface of the fruit more prominently 
than any other variety with which I am familiar. The calyx is bushy, and the 
stem is heavy. The foliage is upright in form, with a rather long, dark green 
k-atherj' leaf. One of its strongest points is the fact that it succeeds in all soils 
and climates. It is one of the best for a mid-season sort.
