“Lovett’s Early gave us ripe berries ou May 23, the earliest date we have ever 
gathered rice strawberries. Beginning thus to ripen early it continues to neai the close 
of the season, and owing to its wonderful vigor of plant it ^ varieties 
form to the end. It does not give so great a yield at any to see I

STAYMAN'S No. 1. We have this 
strawberry growing by the side of .Jessie 
Bubach’s No. 5, Jewell, Parry and many 
others, and have found none equal to it in 
growth, productiveness or quality. Is not 
only the most productive of all we have 
seen, but it is the most vigorous and pro- 
lific; the original seedling produced b.JO 
plants, covering a space of 43 square feet of 
ground, and every plant produced a heavy 
crop of fruit; the last set plants were as 
productive as the first. It appears to be per- 
fectly hardy, as it has had ueither mulching 
nor vvinter protection, and has endured our 
most protracted droughts as well as late 
spring frosts, without injury, while all 
others have suffered more or less. It is 
very late in blooming, scarcely showing 
any sign of fruit, except a large crown, un- 
til* others are in bloom; then it quickly 
throws up a heavy, tall fruit-stock above 
the foliage and blooms when all danger of 
frost is over. We think more of the Stay- 
man each season, and it certainly deserves 
our good opinion. Try it and you will find 
it to be a No. 1 berry. 50 cts. per doz., $1.50 
per 100, $6 per 1,000.
