Stahelin's Plants Grow and Bear Fruit 
Gandy. (S) Claimed to be the ideal late 
strawberry. A cross between Jersey Queen 
and Glendale, combining the good qualiiies of 
both. Unsurpassed in growth and healthful- 
iiess of foliage. Berries bright crimson color, 
uniform size and shape; large, ripens late and 
very firm. 
Greenville. (P) One of the best of the 
new introductions; it has been tested five years 
by the leading experimental stations, which 
give it a place at or near the head of the list. 
Resembles the Bubach, but firmer and a better 
shipper; plant is a strong grower, free from 
rust and a good producer. 
Glen Mary. (S) New. The Glen Mary 
is a chance seedling which originated with Mr. 
Jas. A. Ingram, of Chester County, Pa. (Mr. 
Jas. A. Ingram is an uncle of Mr. Edward T. 
Ingram, the well known originator of the 
famous Brandywine strawberry. Its exact 
origin is unknown but the originator had 
previously only the Crescent, Sharpless and 
Gandy Dower's Prolific and is supposed to Oe a 
descendant of one or more of these varieties. It is larger than the Sharpless atid 
of superior quality. In productiveness it far surpasses the Crescent, not in 
numberof berries but in quarts of berries. The Glen Mary began to ripen at its 
home in Chester Conntv, Pa., on May 28 and the claim seems warranted that it is 
capable of producing big berries all through the fruiting season. Mr. Ingram 
tells of one particular quart of berries especially selected for photography which 
contained onlv twelve giant specimens of the Glen Mary. Can any one present 
a better record? .Vit/ii^ii>/ Expeyiuiental Station Report for /<V<>*;.— "Plants of 
good growth and healthy foliage. The variety is productive and the fruits 
large, of good quality and firm. Well spoken of wherever tried. One of the 
most promising sorts for market." 
Haverland. (P) One of the very best. A native of Ohio and does not 
lose any of its value bv going in other States. This is one of the most productive 
varieties on themarke't at this time. The plant is all that can be asked for. It is 
a fine shipper, very large and will commend a good price for years to come. No 
one should miss this in a collection. It is one of the most profitable varieties in 
cultivation. 
Hall's Favorite. (S) New. Is beyond doubt the finest strawberry ever 
grown It defies any and all competition. It conies the nearest to perfection of 
anv berry I have yet seen. One large fruit grower said, when he saw Hall's 
Favorite "The climax is reached." It is now offered for sale and 
BO one should fail to give it a trial. It has never shown any sign of disease, 
1 have been in the fruit business for twenty-five years and during that time I have 
had numbers of varieties of strawberries but the Hall's Favorite is tlie strongest 
grower of any variety that I have ever grown or seen grow. The foliage is heavy 
enough to protect the blossoms from frost and for mulch in winter. It grows 
very quick from blossoms, and ripens its whole crop in a very short time. Its 
blossom is perfect and it is a good polleni/.er for pi.slillate varieties, ihe berries 
are large and perfect in form, more so than any other varieties I have yet seen. 
The fruit is wonderful, and they are as smooth and regular as though moulded— » 
always of the same shape. During the .seven years winch we have fruited tins 
berry we have never seen an ill-shaped or coxcombed berry; coloring evenly all 
over with no green lips; uniform and large in size through the season; the color 
is of'a rich crimson. It is of the very best quality. The plant is perfection of 
vigor and luxuriant growth, posse.ssing the ability to make a large numberof 
strong, healthy plants, having thick, long, matted roots, enabling it to withstand 
severe drought and wet weather without injury. The berry is firm and will stand 
shipment to distant markets. [The above is the originator's description, of whom 
we have secured our stock. He offers $100 for 100 plants, or $50 for 50 plants of 
any strawberry that is better, in his catalogue of 1898.]
