Recommended among berry growers, who are 
familiar with it, as being one of the earliest, 
most uniform and heaviest yielding varieties of all the strawberries yet origi¬ 
nated. The berry is of large size, brilliant deep rich red in color. When fully 
ripe, its glossy appearance would lead one to believe that it might be var¬ 
nished. The flesh is a blood red in color and possesses a very distinct flavor 
very much similar to that of the wild berry. 
It remains in perfect condition on the vines from two to four days after 
ripening; besides being excellent for canning purposes and the making of pre¬ 
serves it has practically no equal for handling and shipping purposes. 
The plant is a strong grower affording plenty of protection for the berries 
and is one of the very earliest, being often found in the market in the early 
part of May, and is a favorite throughout the strawberry season. 
Do not forget the good points in favor of this variety—large, uniform size— 
deep rich red color throughout—one of the earliest and heaviest bearers and 
the best shipper.
