THE GREENVILLE. (From the Originator.) 
"In bringing out this new candidate for public favor, we do it fully cognizant of the fact that new strawberries 
are now so numerous as to puzzle us sometimes in making selections ; as a certain writer puts it, ‘ They are as 
plenty as blackbirds yet we believe in the saying that 1 there is always room at the top,’ and we offer it to the 
public, not merely because it is a novelty, but because of its merits at home and abroad. It has been tested for 
seyeral years at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, and for nine years past on my fruit-farm. Confident 
of its success, and that it will please all who give it a trial, we shall start it on its mission in the spring of 1893.” 
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.” 
“ Have nothing to take back of what we have said in the former reports regarding Greenville. It is a first- 
class market berry, and is good erough for home use. The plants are healthy and productive; the berries of 
fair size and attractive. 1 rank Greenville as among the best.” — II'. J. Green, Horticulturist of Ohio Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station, Columbus, Ohio, August 1892.

WOOLVERTON. 
Originated by our friend John Little, of Ontario, Can., who has made strawberries a specialty for many 
years. Knowing him as we do, we can highly recommend the Woolverton. Mr. Crawford speaks of it as follows ; 
“I have fruited this in both hills and matted rows, and am convinced that it is a variety of great merit. 
Wherever it has been tested it has made a good record. It is a splendid grower, remaining green and healthy 
all summer, sending out a good number of runners, and bearing abundantly. The blossom is perfect, and it 
remains in bloom a long time. In fact, it always matures a part of its crop before it is done blooming. This is a 
valuable characteristic, because it will prevent any great loss by a late frost, and also make it a rare variety to 
plant with pistillates.” 
Fruit large, resembling the Bubach in form. 
50 cents per dozen, *2 per 100.
