Strawberries 
Beverly (S) A vigorous plant, with a heavy foliage of the Minor type; 
medium green. A remarkable feature about this variety is that the original stock 
from Beverly Mass., had pistillate flowers, with occasionally a few weak stamens; 
next year considerably many stamens developed in the flowers, and now it proves 
to be nearly a perfect flowering variety; a transition in bloom never before noted 
in any strawberry. Very productive, of medium large, irregular, roundish, red 
color, white flesh and fairly good quality, although somewhat acid. 
Brandvwine. (S) This has proved so very satisfactory with all who have 
erown it that it is consequently in large demand and of great value by reason of 
fts productiveness, large size, beauty, and good quality, which render it especially 
desirable for the home garden. The berries are large, roundish-conical, regular 
and uniform, bright glossy crimson, very handsome firm and solid excellent in 
quality with fini aromatic flavor. The berries color all over evenly and retain a 
good size to the last, ripening in succession and every berry maturing fully. Plant 
fs remarkably vigorous, hardy, and exceedingly productive, and its foliage is 
arge clean and healthy. The amateur will delight in such a superb variety, 
which, with his good soil and careful culture, will give him magnificent returns.
