Be sure to order sofne very early, 
Premier. (Per.) This la a variety which haa be¬ 
come very popular in many aectiona, notably 
Delaware and Maryland, during the past few yeara 
The plants are none loo vigorous growers with 
U8 here in the North. They make a moderate 
number of runners and new plants but the plants 
do not look as healthy as some, the leaves 
Ing a peculiar curl which suggests some kind of 
weakness. They have not wintered as well with 
us as some varieties. The berries are large, light 
colored, glossy and are produced in great quan¬ 
tity. All together, w’e are afraid to recommend 
this variety unqualifiedly. It has been proven 
beyond a doubt that Premier and Howard No. 
17 are the same variety and if they are not the 
old Chlpman under a new name, I am greatly 
mistaken. It must be a most excellent variety 
in many sections, else so many good things would 
not be said of it. Where there is so much smoke, 
you will always find some fire. Price 25, 75c;

Late Varieties 
“The Best.” (Per.) This is the mowt satisfactory 
late strawberry, taking everything into consider¬ 
ation, that we have ever grown. The plants are 
of the Gandy type and undoubtedly It has blood 
of that variety in its veins. The runners are 
long and irregular in size. The plants are vigor¬ 
ous and healthy, unsurpassed in vigor. The leaves 
are healthy and leathery. The fruit Is produced 
in great abundance, very late hi the season. It 
is large to very large, light glossy crimson in 
color and very firm and attractive. The past 
season when strawberries from this county sold 
in New York City at such high prices, the “Best” 
brought from 66c to 70c per Auart whslssale. The 
growers who have it are very enthusiastls in its 
praise. One grower harvested them at the rate 
of over (2,000.00 to the acre. We nsw have over 
an acre of plants of this variety aioue and have 
plenty of plants to offer. Pri^ of plants. 26
