bernes. I will repeat below a few quotations 
from letters received within the last month. “Last 
Bpring I had the finest bed of strawberries 1 ever had, 
»at & late freeze ruined the crop. Out of the four 
varieties that I had Glen Mary came out the best.”— 
Harriet Crawford, of Licking Co., Ohio. “Have grown 
Giett Mary for several years and find it my most profit¬ 
able variety. The berries are large, showy and fair 
quality, handle well and are immensely productive, 
gfwd plant maker, deep rooted, resisting drought won- 
«#r£u!ly well, and above all are long seasoned.”—,T. 
Howard Broomer, of Chester County, Pa. “I have 
fetond no plants to come up with Glen Mary, taking all 
Bides of the question into consideration.”—John Ibson, 
of New Haven Co., Conn. “Glen Mary is the berry for 
Clermont Co., Ohio. It has berries in abundance and 
will bring a dollar more per bushel than any other 
berry on the Cincinnati market. Holds up well in size. 
Almost as large at last picking as first. If I was going 
to feet out 5,000 plants next spring, 4,000 would be 
Glen Mary.” Rev. K3. R. Lewis, of Montgomery Co., 
Obbx “Glen Mary first place. Sample second, Gandv 
Hummer fourth. Climax fifth. I give Glen Mary 
flm place because it yields the largest amount of big 
berries.”—Mr. T. Miller, of Chester Co., Pa. “With our 
experience out of sixteen varieties Glen Mary has been 
tb* best, largest and most prolific, the best looking in 
and the best seller.”—,T. D. Edwards & Son. of 
CtaRne Co., Mo “Glen Mary with us is at the top of the 
Hfet; It is sweeter and much better flavored and yields 
#.» Immense crop of fruit. We began picking them 
WMrfy in the season and got our last picking a week 
Champion had gone. It also held its size well 
dicing the season, which none of the other varieties 
did Altogether we may say it is the only variety of 
vikh we hove made a success.”—Wm. M. Brown &

Son, of Atlantic Co., N. J. “I do not know why, but 
we have tried several varieties, and none seem to do so 
well as Glen Mary.”—F. H. Phillips, of Allegheny 
well consider it their best variety. Since its introduc¬ 
tion twelve years ago I have only had plants enough 
to go around twice. We have a good big stock of nice 
plants this season, but cannot say whether or not 
there will be enough, as it is always in demand. 
NEW YORK . — New York was introduced by me 
nine years ago at $5.00 per dozen. 
It was the first to win the series of prizes of $100.00 
for 12 plants which I have been offering for a number 
of years. The berries are very large, some rather 
pointed, while others are thick and broad. The color 
is blood red with a shiny surface. The seeds are so 
nearly the same color of the berry and so deeply set. 
that they are scarcely noticeable. It is a strictly fancy 
berry and a prize winner, just the kind to make the 
grower famous in his local market and give him the 
best trade. Small inferior berries have no show by 
the side of the New York, no matter how cheap they 
are. It is very prolific, bears through a long season, 
but it does not matter how fast they ripen, there are 
alv.-ays more eager buyers than can be supplied. Its 
excellent quality and wonderful productiveness make it 
vf> i\v pro vable to grow, either for shipping or for home 
trade. The cap is large and stands up prominently; 
the foliage light green and a luxuriant grower, with an 
extra large glossy-surfaced leaf. The plant is one of 
the largest and healthiest on the place. It is a seed¬ 
ling of Bubach and Jessie. Since its introduction it 
has become very popular and there is a. large demand 
for it all over the country. S. L. B. Mudge, of Bed¬ 
ford Co., Pa., says : “The New Y T ork is a very vigorous 
grower, fruit immense in size. A number of the larg¬ 
est strawberry growers here met on Main street one 
day this summer and I opened a fiO-quart crate of 
Now York that were not sorted at all but packed just 
as they were picked, and they said they were the 
finest crate of berries they ever saw opened,” Barnes
