YALE STRAWBERRY. 
Introduced in the spring of 1890, it was widely advertised by its originators 
satisfactory ; free from all diseases, and presents a beautiful 
appearance in the growing vine. Being firm as it is, and pos- 
sessing many of the qualities of the Wilson, it is quite valuable. 
One writer, in speaking of this, compares it to the Wilson, 
saying : It is valuable for canning, and the ladies place it 
equal to the Wilson for that purpose. It is quite late, very 
firm, and deep red in color ; growth of the plant of the best, 
and looks very promising, 
60 cents per dozen, 81.80 per 100, 810 per 1,000. 
GREAT PACIFIC. (P.) 
Growth of plant is of the strongest ; belongs to the imper- 
fect varieties ; fruit dark red, size large and an abundant 
Wearer. In the west said to be the best in the market. 
50 cents per dozen, 83 per 100, $25 per 1,000. 
LADY RUSK. (P.) 
Originated in Illinois by one of the most extensive grow- 
ers in the country, he claiming for it size and productiveness. 
We can vouch for its origin, as it has made an excellent 
growth ; free from rust. 
We are inclined to think well of Lady Rusk, or its origi- 
nator would not have had the faith to boom it up as he did 
last season. He claims it to be one of the largest berries, 
holding up in size to the end of the season. 
Its growth with us is very 
25 cents per dozen, $1 per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
GREAT PACIFIC. 
MIAMI. 
Originated in Ohio ; very vigorous in growth; quite late; fruit large and beautiful ; it is said to be very 
productive on the ground of originator. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
ENHANCE. 
This was one of the perfect-flowered varieties that gave a good crop in spite of the frost. As claimed by Mr. 
Young, the originator, hardiness is one of its strong points. It seems to be nearly equal to the pistillate varie- 
ties m this respect. The Enhance has been on trial at the Station a sufficient length of time to warrant the 
assertion that it has decided merits as a pollenizer and market variety. The plants are very vigorous and almost 
perfectly healthy, and but little inferior to the best pistillate sorts in productiveness. It is strictly a market sort, 
however, as it is too acid and ill-shaped to suit amateurs. Market-gr nvers generally ought to give it a trial. 
50 cents per dozen, $3 per 113. 
WALTON. (P.) 
From New Jersey, and is being extensively planted by commercial growers. The introducer speaks of 
it as follows : 
The plant is a very vigorous grower, with healthy foliage, and perfectly hardy ; fruit-stalks are tall and 
stout, producing an enormous crop of large berries. Inclined to be oblong, conical shape; of good quality. 
Very uniform in size, anil selling in preference to other var eties. The berries are brilliant scarlet and hand- 
some ; good shipper and keeps well ; medium to late.” From what I know of this berry, I think it has the very 
essential points which constitute a first-class berry. 
25 cents pjr dozen, 50 cents per 100, 85 per 1,000. 
FLORENCE (Clara). 
Originated in Cuyahoga county, Ohio. It is a beautiful bright red, resembling the old Wilson in shape, but 
a brighter red, and holds its color well after being picked, averaging half as 
large again. Its fruit is borne on large, strong fruit trusses, holding the ber- 
ries well up from the ground, keeping them clean. It is an excellent runner 
and a good shipper, equaling the old Wilson. Its beautiful, attractive appear- 
ance finds it a ready sale. Its season is medium to late, with a perfect blossom. 
50 cents per dozen, $1.50 per 100. 
MRS. CLEVELAND. (P.) 
Resembles the Cumberland in foliage, is excellent in quality ; large, scar- 
let, very attractive. It is valuable for home garden, the fruit being of the best 
quality, free from disease and enduring neglect. 
25 cents per dozen, $1 per 100, 87 per 1,000. 
CRAWFORD. 
Large, bright red, covered with gloss, making a beautiful fruit ; plant 
robust and produbtive under good culture ; is grown on heavy soil ; requires 
good care and plenty of fertilizer.
