TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 5 
AROMA. This has been on the market for a number of years, and seems to be 
gaining in popularity wherever it goes; the foliage is smooth, dark green, of a 
spreading habit, giving the sun a clear right of way to the crown. The leaves are 
long and broad, and as a pollenizer of pistillate varieties it is unexcelled. Its picking 
season is unusually long, the blossoms beginning to open medium early 
and continuing until late; the berries are rich in color, large in size, and 
deliciously aromatic in flavor; the surface is smooth and 
solid, jit is a good grower and a good all¬ 
round, reliable market berry; its permanent 
yellow seeds brighten the color effect and 
makes it very attractive in the package. Re¬ 
cently this variety has become very much 
in demand * in the tropical and semitropical 
sections; for instance, it is one of the best 
varieties for Cuba, and probably one of the 
most popular very late varieties in the warmer 
Strawberry sections. Aroma seems to be a 
favorite both in cold and warm sections.

BARRYMORE. Originated in Massa¬ 
chusetts, in 1908, by H. L. Crane. It is a 
healthy and vigorous grower, with perfect 
blossoms; the berries are glossy, in color deep 
crimson, with red flesh of excellent quality. 
The fruit is firm enough to ship well; the berries are large, 
regular-conical in shape, and ripen in midseason. Barry¬ 
more was awarded a silver medal and three first premiums 
in Massachusetts, which is quite a record for one season. 
BEDARWOOD. This variety seems to have been grown 
more largely in the West than elsewhere; its popularity in 
that section is no doubt due to its ability to resist dry weather. 
It has very long, coarse roots, which extend deep into the soil, 
enabling it to withstand dry weather better than most varie¬ 
ties. The plant is hardy and produces a big crop of medium¬ 
sized fruit that is rather soft for long shipments; plants very 
tall, with long, narrow leaves, which are dark green and 
vigorous. 
BLACK BEAUTY. This variety was sent out a few years ago by the originator, with many flattering 
claims. It is a large, healthy, well-balanced plant, which produces sweet, rich, dark red berries that are 
firm and yet free from core; conical in shape, large, even and smooth; deep red to the center. Fruit will 
keep a long time on the vines after ripening. A good sort for the home garden. 
BRADLEY. This is a splendid variety, 
with perfect blossoms and healthy, vigorous r " 
plants. The berries are of good color, uni¬ 
formly conical in shape, with some of the 
largest slightly flattened at the tip. Large in 
size and firm enough to make a good shipping 
berry. Exceedingly productive, having yielded 
with me on thin land over 5,000 quarts to the 
acre without fertilization. It is entirely dis¬ 
tinct from any other berry, and ranks very f 
high in the list. I believe it will be a long 
time before we get a variety that will sur¬ 
pass it as a general all-round berry, although 
some of the newer sorts are its equal. 
Aroma. A good, reliable, all-round market berry
