GREENVILLE. 
Comparing this variety, as we do, with Bubach No. 
5, which is known to growers as a most superb berry, 
would say it resembles it in growth. The leaf is a 
lighter green, but has not the robust growth, yet it is 
a better grower and more free to run. The fruit is not 
quite so large as the Bubach, but is of better quality 
and much more solid, making a good shipping variety. 
Compared with Bubach, Warfield, Haverland, Gandy, 
Crescent and Cumberland, on a scale of ten points, 
Greenville obtained the highest average. 
We cannot say too much for this berry, as it is one 
of the very best, and it will, when known, be planted 
extensively, as fruit growers have, found that they 
cannot grow anything for commercial purposes that 
will give them more satisfaction. The plant and foli- 
age are entirely hardy with us, and Greenville will be 
one of the berries for the masses. Our stock of this 
variety is large, and we have made rates very low. 
The following is the official report of the, Ohio 
Agricultural Experiment Station of 1891 : The 
Greenville is a strong competitor of the Bubach, and 
indeed bears some resemblance to that variety. The 
plants are a shade lighter in color than the Bubach, 
make a stronger growth, and are quite as productive. 
The berries average a little smaller than Bubach, but 
are more uniform in size and regular in outline, and of 
finer texture. It seems probable that the Greenville 
will have the important advantage over the Bubach of 
being a better shipper. ” 
1 ' Have nothing to take back of what we have said 
in the former reports regarding Greenville Tt is a 
first-class market berry, and is good enough for home 
use The plants are healthy and productive ; the 
berries of fair size and attractive. I rank Greenville 
as among the best.”- IK J. Green, Horticulturist 
of Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Colum- 
bus, Ohio, August ], 1892.

PRINCETON CHIEF. 
A tall very luxuriant grower, with broad, dark 
ween foliage. Perfect blossoms ; very productive of 
nedium to large, rich, glossy dark red berries, which 
ire produced on tall, stout fruit-stalks that always 
lold them well up from the ground, so that there are 
ieldom any dirty or mussy berries, even after heavy 
>howers, when there is no mulch under them. The 
originator says : "They are so beautiful in appear 
mce that the moment they are put on the ™ ar }5 et 
ell like hot-cakes for the highest price. The flavor of 
lie Chief is delicious and very sweet ; being one of the 
weetest of Strawberries, it can be called the Honey 
Strawberry, while its fine, aromatic flavor, re s e F” 
iling that of the wild Strawberry, makes it one of the 
daliAiAiic of hprrip? ”
