JERRY RUSK. 
After fruiting this Strawberry last June in long matted 
rows near similar rows of Biibach, Clyde, Marshall, Wm. 
Belt, Warfield, &c., I can truly say of it as Mr. Hale has said 
of Clyde, “that for an all purpose beuhy I have seen 
NONE EQUAL TO IT." It originated in this county; was con- 
siderably ^rown this season on varying soils near Muncie 
for market purposes, and thus far is the only variety ever 
tested here that seems to have no fault or imperfec- 
tion. Phower ])erfect, a strong grower and a free plant 
maker, wholly free from rust: berries of massive and 
imposing form, dark scarlet, and of better shape, larger 
AVERAGE SIZE AND PRODUCED IN GREATER ABUNDANCE 
THAT THOSE OF Bubach. Bursts of admiration greeted it 
last season wherever it was placed on the fruit stands. As 
soon as plants of it can be obtained it will no doubt displace 
Bubach in this region. My ]>lants of this variety will be 
furnished by the originator only a few miles from my |)lace 
and will be remarkably fine and most carefully packed. 
Those who first secure plants of it will command their 
markets. It has been tested at several Experiment Stations 
and invariably found most ])romising. It is probable that it 
was never grown on a considerable scale for market until 
last season. Its berries color evenly.
