AFTON, N. Y. 
Minute Man. { Imp. )— Similar to the Sample in plant and .size of fruit but 
of better ([uality and more productive The plant is strong and hardy, a great run- 
ner. berries fairly firtn delicious in quality and a beautiful bright crimson in color, 
fruit when well grown is large to very large. Specimens were picked from wide 
matted rows large as Hubacb. 
Klondike. (Per.)— I have grown this variety for .several years and tind it 
not onlv the hardiest, but the most profitable late berry for market. It is a thrifty 
grower 'making many rather small but strong plants, with thick dark green foliage. 
The blossoms are late and not likely to be killed by frost. It is a great producer of 
large firm berries, dark red in color and of good quality. 
Latest. (Imp. )— The plants of the variety are of the very largest size. Very 
productive; fruit very large, bright red and of good quality. A good variety for 
hill culture. Season very late. The Ohio Experiment Station Bulletin says: 
“The 1 was one of Uif most bcautifulbcrries of its season, which is ftillv as late as 
the ('.amlv. the quality heinj? much better. It is a variety well worthy of a trial, ami promises to 
be equally jjootl for home use or not too distant market. Its atlractivene.ss on the market stand 
will calcfi the eye and command an exchange of dollars for berries.” 
Mark Hanna. (Imp )— This variety did nuicli Itetter here last year. Plant 
is a moderate grower. Fruit large and handsome, (luite firm and of good quality. 
Very productive, 
Great Scott. (Imp.)— I have not fruited this variety. The Introducer 
claims it to he one of the most praductive of the extra large berries. The plant here 
is very large and healthy. It is a vigorous grower. 
Carrie Silver. ( Imp )— This variety has been grown to some extent and is 
highly praised bv those who have tested it.' The fruit is large, of good shape and 
coTor, and nearly round. In fruiting this last year I found the following description 
nearly correct: 
■‘Tliis variety was the result of crossing with Sliarpless a seedling of Warficlil fertilized liy 
Parker Karle. Plant and foliage strong, vigorous and licaltliy; tnonnonsly productive; lierry 
large, liriglit red, good quality ami firm." 
Fremont Williams. Claimed by the Ohio Experiment Station to he one of 
the most promising of the late varieties. As late as the Gandv, fully as large, firm 
and of better quality. The plant here is a bright, healthy, vigorous grower and 
quite productive. Fruit rarely misshapen, color a rich bright crimson. Quality, 
good, better than Gandy. Ripens very late. 
New Home. (Fer.) — From F, W. .Al'eii of Maryland. We believe this 
variety was not at its best here The season was quite tinfavorable for the growing 
of large berries The plant is of fair size, tough and healthy like the Warfield and 
(|iiite productive. The runners are long and make their sets far enough apa-'t for a 
good fruiting row. Berries above medium in size, a bright red, very rich in flavor, 
firm, and will hold their color for several tlays after hi ing picked. Very late. 
Cardinal. (Imp.)— This variety is said to possess more points of real merit 
than any strawberry of recent introduction The Cardinal fruited here last year 
and. proved to be a remarkably vigorqus atid healtliy grower producing a good crop
