“Tubbs” Strawberry. 
This variety, with us, is a wonderfully 
fine grower; makes large crowns; very 
healty; has not fruited with us, but is as 
promising as any in our collection. The 
berries are large, of good color and fine 
flavor. It is very productive and comes to 
us highly recommended from Indiana, 
where it succeeds well. It seems to grow 
equally well on all soils. It is a staminate. 
We advise all to try a few plants. 
FOUNTAIN . — This variet}'^ comes to us highly recommended and .suc- 
ceeds pn all soils; perfect blossom. In productiveness there is nothing to 
excel it in cultivation; the plants are almost hidden from view with glassy 
berries as large as bubach, ripening from early to late. The Fountain 
seems to do well in all soils; it is at home wherever planted. It is nearly an 
ideal strawberry. If you want a strawberry of extra large size, which will 
grow and fruit under any and all conditions, and one that will produce as 
many quarts or more than any other strawberry in cultivation, the Foiinn 
tain is certainly worthy of trial. 
Dr. J. Stayman, Kansas:— The Fountain Is a strong, healthy plant; the berry Is large; very 
productive; makes runners freely; one of the best new varieties listed this season. 
ENORMOUS. — A little inclined to rust slightly with us; not sufficient 
to injure vitality of plant; pistillate flower. It is a very large and beau- 
tiful deep scarlet berry, unsurpassed in quality. It possesses all the noble 
qualities of the Edgar Queen, and is ten days later. Just as the Edgar 
Queen is gone, the Enormous comes in with its immense crop of excellent 
berries. It is one of the largest and latest varieties known. It is one of 
the most beautiful and most delicious in quality. The Edgar Queen is the 
only variety that rivals it in productiveness. The plant is a very strong 
and vigorous grower; leaves of a dark glossy green color. All in all, it is 
the most beautiful plant and valuable berry that I have ever known. It is 
the nearest approach to the ideal berry. 
ELEANOR . — We purchased our stock of plants from the introducers, 
and are as well pleased with it as any variety we have growing. It is one 
of the most promising, as far as growth and vigor are concerned; is almost 
free from rust. We areawaiting the results. Plant Eleanor early, as it is 
said to lead all others for earliness. It is one of a number of choice seed- 
lings, carefully tested, and fruiting proved it to be the best of the lot; it is 
wonderfully promising. Among known varieties this is one of the very 
earliest; in size the berr}- ranks with Sharpless and Gandy, and other large 
varieties: it holds up well in size to last of season; colors all over at once; 
flesh firm and of good quality; good, healthy plant, and very productive; 
its blossoms are perfect. It should have a trial by all.
