Strawberry 
Prolific 
Prolific — This enor- 
mously productive vari- 
ety was produced by 
The New York Experi- 
ment and named Prolific 
on account of its heavy 
yield. It was distributed 
among fruit growers as a 
valuable variety (which 
it is). On account of 
its not having been ad- 
vertised or boomed, it is 
little known, compared 
with some less valuable 
varieties. 
G-andy (Perfect) — This superb late variety 
is second to none as a fine, handsome, beau- 
tiful, firm, fine-flavored late berry. The fruit 
always brings the highest market price. This 
is one of the most profitable berries to grow 
for a fancy market or for home use, where 
quality is the first consideration. 
Glen Mary (Perfect) — A choice variety that 
will well repay extra care and culture, delight- 
ing the amateur; and one that is profitable, 
also, in a fancy market. The berrries are 
large, bright glossy crimson, and so hand- 
some as to bring the highest price; moderately 
firm and fine in flavor. The plant is vigor- 
ous and healthy, very productive, and the 
berries mantain 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. 
Marshall (Perfect) — The plant is large and 
strong. The fruit is handsome and attractive, 
very large. Of perfect form, dark crimson 
when ripe, but covers all over a light crimson 
before ripe. 
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." 
Sample (Imp) — This new berry originated 
in Massachusetts. It is of large size, quite 
firm, commences to ripen mid-season and con- 
tinues till very late, keeping up a continual 
supply of large berries to the end. The foliage 
is large and healthy, blossom imperfect, fruit 
of good quality. It is truly a marvel of pro- 
ductiveness and a variety which will yield 
dollars to those who plant it. 
Stevens Late Champion (Perfect) — This is 
one of the most profitable and productive late 
berries we know of, and seems to do well in 
almost all soils and locations. Berries large in 
size, dark red, and firm. 
Success (Perfect) — This is the largest and 
best extra early berry we have ever fruited; 
would not be a good shipper, but for a nearby 
market can 't be beaten for its reason. 
William Belt (Perfect) — Large size, bright, 
glossy red. Tn productiveness, size and qual- 
ity, William Belt will scale high.
