Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants. 
A FULL CROP IN TEN MONTHS. 
NEW VARIETIES. 
Shuster’s Gem. 
Shu.fer’. Gem (P).— One of the finest yet Introduced and approach- 
ing <he 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 firm, and of the most 
vivid scarlet imaginable— the fruit as seen amoug the foli *ge reminding one 
of glowing embers. It ripens early to midseas >n (with the Crescent), holding 
on until late and maintaining a good siz • to the end. The cardinal virtues of 
the variety are. however, strong robust plant, [treat beauty , lame size and 
wonderful productiveness; rendering it decidedly the most desirable and 
profitable strawberry in cultivation. Having fully tested this berry we speak of it 
advisedly. W.J. Green, Horticulturist of the Ohio Experiment Station, sa's of it:“It 
has the size and vigor of Sharpless and productiveness of descent; it is so healthy, 
vigorous, prolific, and presents such a fine appearance that the grower for near 
uiaiket will find it very profitable. It has such pronounced characteristics ibat 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.” 
Pc t-grown Plant. 
Parker Earle. — A fine new sort well adapted to light soil. The plant is 
a robust grower, making strong runners freely. Blossom perfect; trusses long 
and -tout. Berry large, conical with short reck, regular and uniform, glossy 
bright crimson; flesh firm, reddish and in quality very good. Early to medium. 
Vale.— 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 vtrlety 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, dry- , 
est weather — with the loss of scarcely a plant.
