*-*&*■*■ V lid ill<xVv 3 ,y good plant maker and productive. Fruit large, firm, 
bright glossy red in color, and of good quality, round conical in shape, smooth 
and showy. Early. 
rrl O Imperfect. Plants received from M. Crawford, of 
I lUWd.ru 1NO. Z Ohio, last spring. It is said to possess superior qual¬ 
ities, ripening with the Beder Wood, larger and very uniform in size and shape, 
and very productive. Bright in color, but nearly as dark as Warfield. Firm and 
a good shipper, not as juicy as some varieties. A good plant maker, and the 
plants are strong and healthy. The berries are said to remain in good condi¬ 
tion a long time in wet weather — shipping with the Senator Dunlap and selling 
at the same price. We are of the opinion that this must be a valuable variety. 
]\T{ n fv SfY Perfect. Another variety that we got of M. Crawford last 
l ^1111 y OlA. spring, and by the same originator, the late G. W. How¬ 
ard, of Michigan. The plants are large and stocky growers. Fruit large and sol¬ 
id and glossy red in color. The variety is more productive than Gandy and the 
fruit much larger according to Mr. Edgar Howard's description. Medium late. 
Rvrkm^n Perfect. A variety of which we have heard much, but can 
v say very little, except that the plants in growth and foliage is 
all that could be desired. Awarded a. silver medal at the Pan-American Expo¬ 
sition as a new unnamed strawberry of uniform shape, extraordinary large size, 
and excellent quality. Potted plants in full bearing were exhibited for several 
weeks by a Mr. Kyckman, attracting much attention. The plants stood up 
strong, fully fifteen inches high with long strong fruiting stems loaded with 
large fat berries; the ripe fruit of size of ordinary hen’s eggs. It belongs to the 
giant class of strawberries says the introducers, and we predict it will prove 
the giant of giants in size, equaling in yield the popular varieties that come 
under this head. We dug up every plant that was left last spring for our own 
resetting.
