berries in cultivation Plant very hardy, enduring both heat and cold without injury here. To secure the best

succcssful Strawberry grown. Holds its own wonderfully. 
NEW AND RECENTLY INTRODUCED VARIETIES OF 
PROMISE. 
Under this heading we embrace such of the newer kinds as we have not yet tested sufficiently to justify a decided 
opinion as to their value. Among many new kinds these appear to be the most promising, and we hope all may prove 
worthy of a permanent place on our list, after longer trial. 
Brandywine— A new variety which originated at Westchester, Pa., and which comes very highly recommended. 
Described as of immense size and fine quality ; quite firm and shapely for so large a berry ; season medium to late. 
Price 50c. per dozen ; $1.50. per 100. 
The editor of the Rural New Yorker considers it the best variety in the collection at the Rural Experiment Grounds. 
Greenville (P) Originated near Greenville, Ohio. Berries of large size, good quality, very productive, season medium 
to late, plant very vigorous. This variety is of recent introduction, but has already become popular in many parts 
of the country. 
Marshall—\ ery large, roundish, dark rich crimson; quality very good, firm; plant vigorous, productive: season me¬ 
dium to late. This seems to us to be the most promising among the newer kinds, and therefore, deserves careful 
trial. Price 50c. per dozen; $1.50 per 100. 
One of our customers writes: u The Marshall Strawberry plants you furnished me last year were more 
than a success; they are much the best very large berry I have ever fruited. The fruits were immense 
in size and held it until the end in a remarkable degree.”

season late.

ADDITIONAL VARIETIES. 
In addition to the preceding we have a large number of varieties, some of which are new and have not fruited with 
us sufficiently to determine their value definitely ; others have been tested on our grounds, but have not proved valuable 
enough to place in the select list; they may, however, be popular in certain localities. Price of such as we have to offer 
will be given on application.
