Eureka. It is useless for us to say much for this Ijerry. It is well known 
everywhere and we have much to be proud of as its introducer. It is one of 
our latest and a good berry to fertilize Parker Earl. Their season is about 
the same. We never saw this strawberry do as well as the past season. We 
had one cluster with five large berries on it, all ripe at once. It has one fault — 
that of making too many plants; the runners should l)e clipped off. 
Edgar Queen (P) An iinnien.se yielder of large and well-.shaped fine fruit. 
Early. Quality good. 
Greenville (P) We have fully tested this variety and consider it one of 
the very best; being a good plant-maker, healthy, no ru.st, .seems to suit any 
soil and in any state; berries larger than Bubach, which it resembles; good 
color, and carries good. It .is thought by those who grow it to be the best all- 
round berry' in the world. It has more praise from experiment stations than 
any other 
Alton, 111. — The Greenville pleases me well, it was large, good color, good 
grower and berries held out well in size. J. S. Brown, Experimental Station. 
Quakertown, Pa.- — I think very highly of the Greenville strawberry and 
will plant it more exten.sively this year. j. P. Clynier. 
H. E. Vandenian, Ex G. .S. Pomologist, says that Greenville w.as one of the 
best this season. 
There are hundreds of testimonials for this berry would space permit. Do 
Gandy (S) Decidedly the be.st late 
strawberry, and the standard market va- 
riety for fruit growers. The berries are 
large, very uniform, of bright crimson 
color, handsome and showy, firm and of 
gootl quality; plant a strong, vigorous 
grower with clean foliage and productive 
when given good soil and culture. Its 
large size and handsome appearance 
makes it a profitable sort for a fancy- 
market, and it should be included in every 
home collection. Late to very late. 
Haverland (P) The great pro<luctive- 
ne.ss of this variety renders it exceedingly 
profitaWe for a local or near-by market, 
and also very desirable for the home 
garden. It requires heavy soil, however, 
and is then very satisfactory. The plant 
is a strong grower with goo<l foliage and 
the fruit is large, long, with rounded 
apex, of a bright, glossy crimson, goo<l 
quality and moderately firm. Late.

Holland (P) This berry originated in Arkansas, and is introduced by Mr. 
C. P. Bauer of that state, who says : “The Holland is certainly a grand berry, 
and has a future among the big sorts. Timbrell here cannot begin to compare 
with it, and it is a bigger yielder and averages larger than Marshall. It is a 
pistillate, a rank and upright grower of the Sharpless type of foliage. It differs 
from the most of the large berries brought out, in that it holds its size to the 
last picking. Berries large to very large and positively no coxcombed, or ill- 
formed fruits. Ripens with the Crescent ; color, crimson or dark red, clear 
through, and not white inside, nor hollow like many large berries are. Firm 
and a good shipper. In fact an acquisition belonging to the giant type of straw- 
berries!’’ While we have not fruited it the very appearance of the plants we 
received last season from Mr. Bauer encourages our faith in it. Also, its intro- 
duction by a con.scientioiis honest man makes it worthy oi a fair trial bj- all 
w-ho de.sire to try somethiiig new.
