20 THE BARNES BROS. NURSERY CO., YALESVILLE, CONN. 
GLEN MARY (Perfect). A choice variety that will well repay extra care and culture, 
delighting the amateur; and one that is profitable, also, in a fancy market. The berries 
are large, bright glossy crimson, and so handsome as to bring the highest price; moderately 
firm and fine in flavor. The plant is vigorous and healthy, very productive, and i,he berries 
maintain their large size until the close of the season. Season medium to late. 
HAVERLAND (Imp.). The smallest plants of the Haverland bear abundantly. The 
fruit is long and large, light red, very attractive, moderately firm; season early. A valuable 
berry for home use. 
HUMMER (Perfect). These large vigorous plants load up with big, beautiful, luscious 
berries and are highly thought of by many. 
JESSIE (Perfect). A highly colored berry of excellent quality, succeeding best in 
heavy and stiff soils of high fertility. 
JOHNSON'S EARLY (Perfect). A good variety if grown in thin matted rows, but if 
allowed to set all the plants it will make, it will become so thickly matted in the row that 
it cannot mature a crop. The berries are medium size, deep red and excellent quality. 
One of the earliest. 
KANSAS (Imp.). The plant is an extremely vigorous grower, and as free from disease 
or rust as any ever grown. Its fruit is a brilliant crimson, not only on the surface, but 
through and through. This feature, together with its very strong strawberry flavor, 
will make it, when it becomes better known, perhaps the most popular strawberry for 
canning ever yet produced. Time of ripening, late. It is very productive of fine medium 
to large berries that make a very handsome showing in the package, and always attract the 
best buyers, and the berry is firm enough to make a good commercial variety. 
LADY GARRISON (Perfect). Fruit of large size, fine globular form, bright glossy red 
color and fine flavor, a strong rampant grower; begins to ripen early, and season extends 
through to the later ripening varieties. 
MARSHALL (Perfect). The plant is large and strong; very prolific; 110 berries have 
been counted on a single plant. The fruit is handsome and attractive; very large, fourteen 
berries having been known to fill a quart box. Of perfect form; dark crimson when fully 
ripe, but covers all over a light crimson before ripe, and is thus valuable for market. Quality 
and flavor excellent. 
MEAD (Perfect). This promising new variety originated in Massachusetts. The 
originator says: "It is a good thrifty grower, with healthy foliage, perfect blossom, and 
fruit as near perfection in shape and form as any I ever saw. Plesh reddish and solid, 
and to my taste one of the best in quality. It is a heavy cropper of good-sized berries, 
which hold their size well till close of season. It colors evenly, with no white tips, does 
well on all kinds of land, and will make a good showing on very light soil." It resembles 
the Clyde in shape; color glossy red and promises to rank with Sample as a producer and 
with Gandy as a shipper. 
MINUTE MAN (Imp.). It is hard to decide which is be.st, this or Sample. It is a good 
grower, large, good color, and quality. A good market berry on light land. 
MISS BOSTON (Imp.). This berry is recommended very highly by some of the Dighton, 
Mass., growers. Said to be as productive as Haverland and a better shipper. 
NETTIE (Imp.). Out of 50 or 60 varieties we fruited last season this was the latest. 
It is very large and productive. In color — well, it makes us think of a freckled mulatto, 
but its size and lateness make it sell. 
NEW YORK (Perfect). This variety is fast becoming a favorite. It is a cross of 
Bubach and Jessie. Mr. Kellogg says: "New York is a fancy berry for fancy trade. 
Very large, bright red, strong foliage, and heavy fruiter." 
NICK OHMER (Perfect). Large, regular, dark, glossy red, firm and of excellent flavor; 
very vigorous and productive. 
OOM PAUL (Perfect). Mr. Kevitt of New Jersey says this is the largest berry he ever 
fruited. The first season he fruited it he sold every box for 25 cents, one box selling for 
$10, it had six berries in it, and also that it is a marvel of productiveness. 
PARSON'S BEAUTY (Perfect). One of the most productive berries grown. Medium 
to large size, dark red, commencing to ripen early and continuing through mid-season. 
Plant of great vigor, with dark, rich green foliage. A grand market or family berry. Those 
not growing this splendid variety should give it a trial. Does its best on low, somewhat 
heavy land. 
PRIDE OF CUMBERLAND (Perfect). An abundant bearer of very handsome bright 
glossy red berries. Has all the good points of the Gandy, better in quaUty, ripening about 
one week earlier than that popular variety. Will thrive on any soil, but best results are 
obtained on rich land; a long keeper and superb shipper.
