THE NEW “JEWELL” STRAWBERRY. 
This new variety was raised from seed by 
P. M. Augur & Sons in 1880, and is one of 
a lot of Seedlings produced from one quart 
of “Jersey Queen” and one quart of “Prince 
of Berries’’ (the seed being sown together, j 
and taken from exhibition berries). We 
give the originator’s description. 
“The Jewell is the finest growing variety 
we have ever seen, producing an abundance 
of very large, high colored fruit, of fine 
quality. 
Season medium, size large, color bright 
red, changiug to crimson when pretty ripe; 
flower pistillate, enormously productive. 
Will produce more in value from same 
area than any other variety known. Ber¬ 
ry very solid and firm, promising to make 
it. the great Market Strawberry . The plant 
is very robust and vigorous, and has never 
shown any signs of rust or blight. Being 
of better color, more firm and solid, of bet¬ 
ter quality, more vigorous and more pro¬ 
ductive than the Sharpless, it will not fail 
to become a great favorite.”
