new strawberry PALMERS' VERY EARLY. 
PRICE REDUCED. 
In offering PALMER'S VERY EARLY, I may add I have had a personal 
acquaintance with Mr. Palmer, the originator, for a number of years, and 
know him to be one of the most careful strawberry specialists in this country. 
It is therefore with confidence I offer this variety. The following is descrip- 
tion by introducer: "It is with intense satisfaction that we can at last intro- 
duce a new early strawberry which bids fair to add millions to the wealth of 
the states and nation, and which will be hailed with delight by fruit growers, 
dealers and consumers throughout the world. For many years Mr. Palmer, 
of Northern New York, has labored to produce a large, early, productive, 
handsome, richly flavored strawberry.' with a high percentage of sugar. The 
prize appeared four years ago. We have now 
tested it in every vyay sufficient to warrant its in- 
troduction, and we are upheld in our estimate of 
its great value by all fruit growers who have seen 
it in bearing on our plant farms, and at this writ- 
ing, even before the plants have been offered, 
numerous growers have offered us as high as 
$10.00 for twelve plants. The berry was origi- 
nated by Mr. I. S. Palmer, of Northern New York, 
Three years ago, Mr. Palmer sent us twelve plants 
by mail, which were carefully tested in our trial 
bed for two seasons, and in field culture for one 
season. It proves to be the largest and most 
beautiful of all early strawberries, perfect bloomer, 
plants strong and robust, produces two and four 
fruit stalks to each plant, all of them well flUed 
with large berries. Berries are large, rich, dark, 
glossy red. perfectly conical, with flesh red all 
through. Each berry is a fountain of juice. The 
cut shown is exact size. The largest, best shaped 
.and most beautiful extra early berry ever known 
in productiveness. It will rank with Crescent, 
Parker Earl, Glen Mary, Haverland and other 
great yielders here in Northern New Jersey. In 
IQOO, it ripened fully ten days ahead of Michel's 
Early, Johnson Early and Excelsior.
