NEW STRAWBERRY, SWINDLE. (P.) 
The plant in habit of growth somewhat resembles the Glendale, although with rather broader leaves; it is 
a more vigorous grower than either of its parents, and makes runners freely ; leaf and fruit stalks are long and 
stout, fruit stalks very abundant and branch freely, so that often thirty to fifty berries form on a single cluster ; 
blossoms, pistillate ; blooms medium till late ; fruit ripens late to very late ; always large to very large ; rich, 
dark, glossy scarlet color ; sprightly, high flavor, somewhat acid, but of excellent quality, firm and solid, and a 
grand shipper; in a general way, both plant and fruit resemble Gandy, only the berries average larger andot 
richer color. Swindle is fully as late and will produce four times as much fruit as Gandy, making it the grand- 
est late market or family variety yet introduced. 
$1 per dozen, $3 per 100. 
SAUNDERS. 
The originator of this variety, Mr. John Little, of Canada, the veteran horticulturist, says he thinks Saunders 
is the best of all his seedlings. Mr. Crawford, who is a great friend of Mr. Little, speaks of it as follows . 
“ A Canadian berry of great value for the market-grower. I wish that all my customers would test it, as it 
is among the most desirable. The plant is large and vigorous, free from rust, and is as healthy and hardy as 
any ever sent out. It makes many runners, has a perfect blossom, and is enormously productive. In tins 
respect it excelled all others on my place last season, and was the wonder of all who saw it. T he fruit is veri- 
large, conical, slightly flattened, and often has a depression on one or both sides. It is deep red and remarkably 
glossy. The flesh is of the same color, and has a sprightly, agreeable flavor.”

STAYMAN’S NO. i. 
We have this strawberry growing by the side of Jessie, Bubach 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 prolific ; the original seedling produced 690 plants, covering a space of 43 
square feet of ground, and every plant produced a heavy crop of fruit ; the plants set last were as productive as 
the first. It appears to be perfectly hardy, as it has had neither mulching nor winter protection, and has endured 
•ur 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, until 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 Stayman each season, and it certainly deserves our good opinion. 1 ry it, and 
you will find it to be a No. 1 berry. 
25 cents per dozen, 75 cents per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
PRINCESS. 
We have not fruited this berry on our grounds. We quote from the July report of Mr. Crawford, who 
“ This is a Minnesota berry, and is likely to become very popular. It has clean, healthy foliage, and has 
made a better record for productiveness than any other berry I have heard of. It has produced berries of 
perfect form over six inches in circumference. After seeing it this summer, I am inclined to believe that it is 
just about all that has been claimed for it.” 
50 cents per dozen, $2.50 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 
BEDER WOOD. 
A stocky, robust plant, that makes runners freely ; healthy and entirely free from rust or blight ; lias perfect 
bloom, and is an enormous bearer of large, round, perfectly formed berries ; light scarlet color, moderately firm, 
and of good quality; very valuable for h 0 me use or near-by markets. It gives promise to be one of the best 
early varieties on our grounds. 
25 cents per dozen, $1 per 100, $8 per 1,000. 
FARNSWORTH. 
This berry is well-known to growers by its superior flavor, by 
reason of which it heads the list of the strawberry family. It is 
among the earliest, yet it is not claimed to be as abundant a producer 
as some of the standard sorts, while surpassing them in quality. It 
is superb for the home garden, being highly recommended by the 
Ohio Experiment Station for every garden. The berries are larger 
than those of the Crescent. 
50 cents per dozen, $2 per 100. 
EUREKA. (P.) 
This season we were taken by surprise by this berry. It was 
the best fruiter on our grounds ; the bloom comes through the most 
in much better condition than any other variety, and produces a 
good crop of beautiful fruit. It is very large ; after the nature of 
Bubach, ripening late with Gandy’s Prize, and commanding a good 
price. We find that it is going to be a valuable variety for market 
growers. 
50 cents per dozen, $1 per 100, $5 per 1,000.
