What lingering doubts may have been felt as 
to the practical value of this new race of Straw¬ 
berries are rapidly vanishing in the light of expe¬ 
rience. There is now scarcely a discordant note 
in the general praise of their qualities for the home 
garden, and the developments of the past season 
indicate a greater value for the market garden

RHUBARB, or PIE PLANT (Continued) 
crowns arc about an inch below the surface. Rhu¬ 
barb is a gross feeder; the more manure it is 
given the larger and finer the yield. 
Prices: Heavy roots, $1.25 per doz.; $5 per 100. 
Myatt’s Linnaeus. Early, very large, tender and 
delicately flavored; requires less sugar than other 
sorts. 
Victoria. This variety, if planted in a rich soil and 
properly cultivated, will produce tender stalks 
3 feet long and from I to 2 inches in diameter.

years and their value clearly demonstrated. 
Superb. (S) Considered the best of the fall 
bearing sorts. Cooper’s introduction. Berry 
glossy, very attractive and of the finest flavor. 
Size of berry, very large and firm. Brings* every 
blossom to maturity; no blanks, which is a 
strong point in a fall-bearing strawberry. Su¬ 
perb will yield as much fruit in the fall as the 
average spring-bearing varieties do in May, and 
will bear continuously from spring until checked 
by hard freezing. 
Progressive. (S) Perfect health of foliage and 
this means bearing capacity. So hardy that 
uncovered plants generally come through winter 
in good condition. Exquisite flavor, far sweeter 
than standard varieties and affords good pick¬ 
ings a week before the first early varieties of 
the old kinds, continuing till November. Bears 
first season. Both the Iowa and Minnesota 
Horticultural Societies report Progressive was 
uniformly recommended. 
Varieties marked (S) arc "Staminate" and fertilize them¬ 
selves.
