NEW STRAWBERRY, E. P. ROE. 
stra 'yherry, which we have named the “E. P. Roe,” was found in the month of May, 1887 by 
i'i J 11 ? S?u d ? n at Newburgh. While preparing a flower-bed for his wife, he noticed the little

pioducti v eness, completely covering the ground about the plants, with its fine, uniform, regular, luscious fruit 
It is now an established fact with fruit-growers that the greatest profits are from the very early and very late 
strawberries. 1 he party who will plant the E. P, Roe will have fruit so much later than any one else that he ca 
make his own price. Its excellent flavor will recommend it so highly to the customers that they will buy it 
long as it is in the market, even at an advanced price. 3

MUSKINGUM. 
this berry received the first prize, and was named at the summer meeting of the Ohio State Horticul- 
^^ Expenment Station, June 1 1 , 1890. We have been cultivating and testing this variety

ft productive as the Crescent, in quarts. In June, 1890, one row made nearlv as much money as two 
rows of Crescent with equal cultivation. - 3 
Pickets gather 200 quarts a day very easily, and would rather gather them than any other variety.

SHUCKLESS. 
We quote front the originator on this new specialty ; we have never fruited it. " This is the most remarkable 
strawberry ever introduced, inasmuch as it possesses a peculiar feature distinguishing it from all others. This 
distinguishing characteristic is indicated by its name. I11 picking it parts readily from the stem the shucks 
remaining on the stem instead of the berry. This is not only a novel feature, but one of the greates practfcal 
value, inasmuch as the berries are ready for the table as soon as picked, thus obviating the disagreeable and

“ rhe Shuckless attracts attention in market and finds ready sale, even though the market be glutted with 
other sorts, and is therefore one of the most 
profitable varieties for the home market, com- 
manding three to five cents per quart more 
than other sorts. Aside from its shuckless 
feature it has many most desirable qualities 
which alone would give it a place among the 
best. It is a strong grower, hardy plant, a 
late bloomer, and produces berries of uni- 
form size and color in great abundance and 
of best quality. It is a remarkable berry. ”

BEVERLY. 
Plant very vigorous, upright grower; foli- 
age healthy, no trace of rust or blight, and 
leafage sufficient to protect blossoms from 
frost. Blossoms perfect, strong, staminate. 
Berry large, conical, perfect form, bright, 
glossy, crimson, and colors all over; flesh 
pink, texture firm, and very superior flavor, 
resembling the wild berry. 
The size is remarkably large to the last ; 
season medium to late; last season picked the 
first berries June 14, and the last July 20. 
For productiveness , I have never seen its 
equal. To show its reputation at home, I 
will say that the last season I could not sup- 
ply the demand for fruit at 25 cents a box.

There is no business in which a person can be cheated as in the nursery trade. See then, 
that you know who you deal with. Remember our name, "REID," and we are always to be 
found at Bridgeport, Ohio.
