GOOD DUCK.— James W. Cartwright. of Henry 
Co., Ind., says: “Good Luck is 
just splendid.’’ Thos. G. Smithson, of Washington, 
D. C., says: “Good Luck especially made the finest 
plants I ever saw in my life, and I wish you could see 
them; it would do your eyes good, notwithstanding 
the two months’ drought we had this spring. What 
few I allowed to fruit, the berries seem to he all that 
I could wish.” The Good Luck is undoubtedly one 
of the strongest growers ever poduced. In saying this 
I do not make a single exception, although we are 
growing over one hundred varieties. This variety 
comes to me as a result of one of my prize offers, 
which was awarded in 1004 to Elwood Pedrick, of New 
Jersey. The fruit of this berry as compared with 
Gandy is equally as large, more productive and a few 
days earlier. In shape it is conical to broad conical 
or wedge-shape, with uniformly smooth, even surface, 
making it very showy both on the vines and in the 
package after being gathered. The above illustration 
was made from a photograph and is an exact likeness 
of the berry. I believe it is a safe berry to plant, and 
with me it does much better than Stevens Late Cham¬ 
pion, which seems to be growing popular in many sec¬ 
tions. 
‘WTLililAM BELT.— There are few lovers of 
strawberries that would not 
cross a plot and pick out the William Belt as the best. 
It is a standard for quality the country over. This 
variety is somewhat subject to rust and for this reason 
for a time was not popular, but its superior quality 
and large size has made many friends for it, especially 
among the amateur growers who have an appreciative 
fancy market, or for the home table. I know of 
nothing that will approach it in quality of its season 
except Chesapeake. The demand for this variety has 
been much greater for the last few years, and we fre- 
quntly dispose of every plant that we have. Mr. G. 
M. Myers, of Garfield Co., Wash., says: the Chesa¬ 
peake and William Belt for flavor and good eating are 
dandies; good bearers and large berries. I am going 
to run all my patch in these two kinds. They stood 
the drought best and are in good ghape now 7 .”
