NEW VARIETIES. 
Shuster's Gem. 
Shn.ter’g Hem (P).— One of the finest yet introduced and approach- 
iug the ideal strawberry more nearly than any other. The plant is unusually 
stout and strong, with clean, healthy foliage; berries large to very large, of 
globular mould, remarkably regular and uniform in size and shape, and liter- 
ally heaped about the plant: of excellent quality, quite Arm, and of the most 
vivid scarlet imaginable— the fruit as seen among the foliage reminding one 
of glowing embers. It ripens early to midseasou (with the Crescent), holding 
on until late and maintaining a good size to the end. The cardinal virtues of 
the variety are. however, strong robust plant, yrcat beauty, large size and 
wonderful productiveness; rendering it decidedly the most desirable and 
Pct-grown Plant. 
pro 11 table strawberry in cultivation. Having fully tested this berry we speak of it 
advisedly. W.J. Green, Horticulturist of theObio Experiment Station, says of it:“It 
has the size and vigor of Sharpless and productiveness of Ciescent; it is so healthy, 
vigorous, prolific, aud presents such a flue appearance that the grower for near 
market will Hud it very profitable. It has such pronounced characteristics that it 
can hardly fall to adapt itself to almost any soil and treatment. It will not need 
petting of any kind. No use to ask whether it prefers sandy or clay soil. It will 
grow just where it is planted if any variety will.” 
Parker Earle.— A fine new sort well adapted to light soil. The plant is 
a robust grower, making strong ruuuers freely. Blo.-som perfect; trusses long 
and stout. Berry large, conical with short neck, regular and uniform, glossy 
bright crimson; flesh firm, reddish and in quality very good. Early to medium. 
Yale.— A new strawberry of much promise; large, dark red, firm and of high 
flavor. The firmness of the berries, with their deep red, rich color and high flavor, 
makes it a most desirable and attractive viriety for canning. It is late in ripen- 
ing, coming on after other sorts are gone, and carries well to market. 
Pot-grown strawberry plants are very desirable 
when properly grown and their value can scarcely 
be compared with layer plants; as from them the 
very largest, finest Strawberries can be obtained in 
ten months or less from time of setting, and they can 
be planted at any time desired — in the hottest, dri- 
est weather — with the loss of scarcely a plant.
