Strawberries. 
STAR. This berry is large and handsome in appear- 
ance, measuring 6 to 7 inches in circumference, on the 
average. It is as near perfection as possible, some- 
what resembling the Gandy, but not quite so dark in 
color. It is a beautiful glossy crimson, and colors all 
over at the same time, being an ideal berry in this 
respect. All the berries average large from first to last. 
In quality it is of the best. ^ 
In productiveness we have never seen the equal of the 
Star. It matures all its berries in a dry season, possess- 
ing the greatest drought-resisting qualities of any 
berry we are acquainted with, having mature a full 
crop when all the ordinary varieties were complete fail- 
ures. The plant is a vigorous and strong grower, 
with healthy green foliage, deep-rooted and very pro- 
lific, being a staminate, or perfect variety. Season of 
rinening is second early. 
Nick Ohmer. 
It is healthy, vigorous, and productive. It has a 
perfect blossom. The fruit is of the very largest size, 
glossy red, firm and of excellent flavor.
