lifit. large Strawberry; the largest very prolific 
Strawberry. The quality is grand; rich, full, 
sugary and very aromatic. Its brilliant flame- 
red color remains unchanged after the berries 
soften. It is very firm, keeps in good condition 
from three to five days. The plants are strong, 
free from rust and blight. The blossoms are large, 
with lots of pollen. It has been thoroughly tested 
for several years and its merits proved by actual, 
practical tests. Originated in New Jersey, and 
coins gold for those who plant it for market.” 
Sharpless. This is an old favorite and a good 
many are still asking for it, especially to plant in 
the garden for the home table. Too well known to 
need further description. 
Saunders. This is one of the few varieties that 
give best results on medium or light soil and yield 
good crops, and for several years was my favorite 
berry. For two or three years the demand for this 
variety seemed to wane, but it evidently is coming 
into popularity again, judging from the inquiries 
we are receiving for it. It is certainly a good 
berry and no one will go far wrong in planting it. 
The fruit is large and a deep, glossy red. 
Splendid. A very productive variety of uniform, 
medium size. This is another variety that must be 
kept thin in order to keep it from getting too thick 
on the row for best results, as it surely will do if 
left to have its own way. It has a strong, staminate 
blossom, and is a good one for pollenizing such 
pistillate varieties as Warfield, Crescent and others 
of that type. 
Pleased with Plants 
Plants received O. K. and in pood order. Well 
pleased.— Wm. K. Moyer, Schuylkill, Pa. 
Gandy. A splendid late berry 
Sam Wherry. I now have a stock of several 
thousand, which I am offering at a very reasonable 
price while the stock lasts. The plants seem to be 
healthy and a strong grower with me. I like 
the appearance of the plant very much, but as 
what plants I had to start with have been 
kept busy for propa¬ 
gating purposes, I have 
not seen much of the va¬ 
riety, and only offer to 
those who wish to make a 
test of it. I can only say 
that it is a good, strong, 
healthy grower, and the 
parentage is good. The 
Farm and Ranch des¬ 
cribes it in part thus: “The 
plant is large, free from 
rust, vigorous, and makes 
enough plants for fruiting 
rowsifplanted 5 feet in row. 
The bloom is phenom¬ 
enally large. The berry 
turns red before it is 
ripe; very firm, extra- 
large, and prolific.” 
Silver Coin. I have 
not fruited this variety 
yet, but it has made an 
excellent growth and 
promises well. The in¬ 
troducer speaks of it as 
follows: “The most pro- 
Plants as Represented 
The Strawberry plants arrived the 7th O. K. We 
have been getting plants of you off and on for twelve 
or fourteen years, and never have got a plant that was 
heated or that was not true to name and true in 
count. I have recommended you to several Strawberry 
growers and they all say that they were as 
you represented. Hoping that you will stay in the 
business for years to come, I remain.—C. M. Walton.
