Berry dark red, from large to very large; very few, if any, berries growlarger. 
it holds up remarkably well to the very last picking; do not know any variety super- 
ior in this respect. Medium in ripening and holds on for a long season. I predict 
that this berry, when it does become known, will take its place at or near the top of 
our most popular varieties. 
No strawberry grower will make a mistake in getting a start of this variety as 
soon as possible, as it is destined to rank among the best. It has a fine plant, it is 
large, it is productive and a good shipper. It with,stood the drouth, last season, 
much better than most other varieties. I have not yet discovered a weakness in any 
respect about this berry.

NETTIE. (Per.) Report of the Rural New Yorker, August, 1898; “This 
proves our best late variety of this season’s trials. Berries from large to very large, 
and vines laden; color between crim.son and scarlet, medium firmness and quality; 
shape broadly conical and quite regular. June 25 vines still thrifty and bearing 
many berries both green and ripe.’’ 
The Robbie and Nettie are highly praised in the East. They have not proved so 
desirable for the West. C. W. G.

WELL TEiTED KIND,S. 
Early to Medium Varieties. 
AUOUJT LUTHEK. (per.) Originated 
by A. Luther of Missouri. It is probably the best of 
its cla.ss for an early variety. The plant is perfectly 
free from rust and blight and is a tough, slim grower 
with very long roots which enables it to stand a very 
severe drouth. It makes runners freely and is a ram- 
part grower. It ripens in advance of the Johnson’s 
Early, producing a good crop of medium size berries. 
Fruit firm, dark red roundish conical berries easily 
picked and of good quality for so early a berry. It is 
regarded as the best early variety tested at the Uni- 
ted States Agricultural Station. I‘er dozen, /^c\ 2^,

JOHNiON’i EAKLY. (Per.) A Mary- 
land berry grown from the .seed of the Cre.scent and 
fertilized by the Hoffman. The plant is a splendid 
grower, makes runners freely, is very productive and 
is absolutely rust proof. The fruit is of a good size, large as the Hoffman, firm, 
smooth, conical, and bright red in color. The cpiality is good, flavor rich suba- 
cid. It is one of the desirable early berries 011 the market, /’/v dozen , i^r; 2S, 20C;
