The berries are large In size and per- 
shape. Color when fully ripe a very dark 
glossy red. flesh dark red, solid and of delicious flavor, fresh or canned; ripens 
medium to late, holding up well in size. The berry remains firm on the vine for 
some time after fully ripe. It has a perfect blossom and is a good fertilizer. 
Fruit stems and leaves tall, bearing clusters well up from the ground. Is an 
excellent plant maker. Plants vigorous, healthy and productive. 
Prof. W. J. Green, of the Ohio Experiment Station, says: “It is a berry for 
home use and canning, holding its shape when canned equal to Warfield and 
Enhance, and is superior to either in quality.” Again in the Ohio Farmer of 
October 3, 1901. he sqys: “I have not seen a better berry for table use or can¬ 
ning.” 
We were sold out very close on this variety last spring before resetting for 
a new supply and our stock for 1905 is limited. 
Imperfect. Our attention was first called to this new variety 
by a photograph of it in the Rural New Yorker, of 
June 28, 1902, with a description by the editor in this and a later issue, the 
substance of which was that it is the most promising strawberry they had yet 
tried, from a market standpoint. It is a strong, vigorous grower here. The 
Rural New Yorker stated: “The President led all kinds in development of fruit: 
e\ery plant producing large clusters, and better still, seems inclined to perfect 
and bring to large size every berry. The color is bright and clear, the flesh firm, 
and the seeds few and widely separated. It is just now, June 12, ripening, and 
therefore comes in with Gandy and other late varieties. The quality as grown 
here is very fair, but not high, the acidity being quite mild.” 
St3Violin Imperfect - Intr °duced by O. A. E. Baldwin, of Michigan, with 
OlctilCilll a good account of it from the Michigan Experiment Station. 
The Geneva Experiment Station, of New York, the Purdue Experiment Station, 
of Indiana, and elsewhere. Here it is a vigorous, healthy plant maker and a 
heavy cropper of medium sized bright red berries, firm and of good quality. 
Medium early. 
Imperfect. A seedling of Parker Earle and Bubach. In 
foliage nearly the same as Bubach, with the stooling 
habit of Parker Earle, the parent plant often making but one new plant from 
each runner, while year old plants often show six to eight double crowns, ac¬ 
cording to the introducer, L. C. Kevitt, of New Jersey, who offered it last spring. 
It is said to produce the finest berries with a beautiful gloss as if each had 
received a coat of varnish. The latest to ripen; the healthiest and tallest 
grower; the most drouth resisting of over 75 varieties on his farm, and the 
most productive, with imperfect blossom and the greatest stooling berry on the 
market. We only had two plants of this variety here, which Mr. Kevitt sent us 
the fall before, too late to get established, but we got a new supply last spring 
and have a limited amount for sale. Mr. Kevitt says the fruit is of immense 
size. So much is said of this variety, including a statement that 1.000 plants 
would be seen growing at the World’s Fair, etc., etc., that we conclude it must 
be valuable. 
T WNfksrt-l Imperfect. A seedling of Warfield and Lady Thomp- 
l^UUJO i. lUUdLU son. The plant is very vigorous, will stand drouth 
the best of any and is one of the very best a.s a plant maker. The berry is of 
large size, somewhat rough, very firm, and is immensely productive. It will 
yield three times as much as Lady Thompson on the same soil. It is a business 
berry and will not disappoint any one. Its season is four days later than Mich¬ 
els Early.—Introducer. 
Promising, but needs further trial. We paid $2.00 per dozen for a few plants 
in 1903. It is a good grower, healthy and vigorous. 
Perfect. Introduced by D. Brandt, of Ohio, in 
3 902, with an offer of $100 for 100 plants of any 
variety that was earlier and better. The berries are good size, of medium red 
color, and good quality, ranking here among the earliest we have ever fruited. 
Mr. Brandt says; “I believe it is the earliest of all strawberries. That it was 
full of ripe berries, and at its best when Michels Early and Excelsior and other 
early sorts commenced to show a few red berries.” 
Mr. A. Warner, of Iowa, says: “Cameron’s Early was ready for business 
two weeks before any other variety.” 
e ^ we , . have had by frost, but though far advanced, recovered 
rapidly, fruiting among the first and making a good crop. The plants are vigor¬ 
ous, making a good row with tall foliage. One of our best for extra earlv 
berries. J
