New York, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Bisexual. A veritable 
Jumbo both in foliage and fruit; shape of berry varies 
from top-shaped with rather a long point to others that 
are thick and broad. The color is blood-red with shiny 
surface, with seeds, nearly of the same color, and so 
deeply set as to be almost invisible. The meat is of 
smooth texture and the flavor Is dehcale and mild. It is 
a strictly fancy berry and one of the most attractive, both 
in appearance and because of its delicious flavor. It is 
very prolific and has a long season of ripening and is 
one of the most profitable varieties either for shipping 
or the home trade. The fohage is of upright habit and 
affords ample protection for the great clusters of unusu- 
ally large and beautiful berries and affords an abund- 
ance of strong pollen. This is its eighth year m our 
breeding beds. 
ceived the bulk of its fertilization from Wm. Bell and

over. 
"I picked my last berries today, July 4; season from 
May 19 to this dale — the longest and latest I have ever 
known, and am now getting ready for a second crop."

Glen Mary, B. (Male J 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. This variety grows big dark- 
red berries with prominent seeds of bright yellow. The 
meat is crimson, juicy and rich and of unusually high 
flavor. The calyx is curly and extends in all directions. 
The fruit is ideal for canning, preserving or for any 
other manner of use for the long winter season. As a 
shipper it equals the best and for this reason is an 
especial favorite among the more extensive growers who 
ship their berries a long distance. Another element that 
makes them thus popular is the fact that its roots are long 
and bring up plenty of moisture for the plants during 
dry seasons. The foliage is extra large, growing upright, 
and is of dark-green color; leaves are nearly round 
with a glossy surface, making a beautiful appearance in 
the field. Please notice, however, that Glen Mary is 
not strong as a pollenizer, and we advise planting this 
variety near some other bisexual of the same season; 
every fourth row will be sufficient. This is the eleventh 
year we have had Glen Mary in our breeding beds. 
grown like them, so large and handsome. Well, last 
June, the 4th day, 1 commenced picking the Texas for a 
customer for the first quart of berries; but soon had 
quite a number of baskets. The 8th I began picking the 
Dornan and Oh! what berries! Every one that saw 
them said : 'Where did you get those vines to bear 
such fruit, as 1 never saw such large strawberries be- 
fore.' 1 could have sold three times as many more if 1 
had raised ihem. Now they are inquiring of my neigh- 
bors if Mrs. Holway is going to have some of those great 
big strawberries. From my little patch 1 sold $67.12 
worth of berries and grew many more of which 1 kept 
no account."
