il.< sfronp hronchivg Jrnit i-tnn, thrifty habit, fizc, quality and productiveness of fruit, 7 esteem 
it very highly, and sliiill plant it as extensively as I can afford the plants, I think it the 
coming' berry. I picked a number of berries that crowded one ami one-half inches in 
diameter.” 
Tlie Fruit Committee of the Portage County (Ohio) Horticultural Society, in its re¬ 
port of June meeting of 1SS2, says of this new variety then on exhibition: ” A seedling 
of Crescent, hermaphrodite, fruit good size, bright color and oi superior quality and 
in its report of the 18S1 meeting the same committee says: “Mrs. Garfield is the best 
flavored of any of the large berries.’’ 
J. T. Lovett, who saw it in fruiting side by side with all of the other new sorts set 
last season on the grounds of the lion. Wm. Parry, told us on June Gth, “ Mrs. Garfield 
is making by far the best show of fruit of any of the new varieties.” 
Jesse B, Rogers, Chairman of the Fruit Committee of the N. J. State Horticultural 
Society, under date of Julv 2, 1SS4: “Mr.s. Garfield is a fine berry. I thought at first 
it would prove small, but here I was mistaken. I like its flavor very much ; productive, 
large in size, firm. In Northern New Jersey it has done well.” 
The Connecticut Farmer of July 5,' 1884, says: ‘‘AVe are indebted to Hale Brothers 
of South Glastonbury for a basket of their new strawberry, the Mrs. Garfield. Itsfiavor 
is of the very best, fully justifying all that has been claimed for it in this respect; the fruit, 
Judgin" by the specimen before us, is of good and verj' even size, and rich color, leav¬ 
ing little if anything to be desired, in any of these particulars.”

CORNELIA (P),—Originated with Matthew Crawford, of Oliio. Plant strong and 
vigorous as Manchester, with no inclination to rust; very productive, large size, bright 
color, and as perfect in form as Manchester or Cumberland; fine flavor, and the very 
latest to ripen of any variety we have ever tested. Tliat it is firm enough for trans¬ 
portation is fully attested by the fact that two years ago it was shipped from Ohio to 
Boston, remaining there on exhibition one day, and then brought to Connecticut, 
where it remained in fair eating condition for two days more. Having seen it at Mr. 
Crawford’s, and having thus tested its shipping qualities, we were prepared to invest 
in it largely, when it was offered, last season, at $1 per plant; and wdiile most other 
nurserymen bought from one to twenty-five plants, we set out one-eighth of an acre, 
and now have thousands of very strong young plants. We want most of them for our 
own planting next season, but will sell a few at 50 cents per plant, $4 per dozen, $25 
per 100, for pot plants. 
In the Country Gentleman of July 17, 1884, “ R. J., Ontario Co., N. Y.,” says of the 
Cornelia: “It seems about two weeks later than the CrescaU ; as symmetrical as the Alan- 
Chester; brighter in color, very firm, and of excellent quality. It is also produefiT'e beyond 
anything we have except the Crescent.” 
ATLANTIC. — Highly praised by all the leading horticulturists of New Jerseyi 
where it originated. Said to be one of the most promising late market varieties, espe¬ 
cially for dry or sandy soil. Not fruited here, but plants are making a fine growth.
