HARRISON’S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 
Kansas—(Imp.) This popular new variety was 
originated in the State from which it takes its name. 
The plant is extremely vigorous grower, and as free 
from disease or rust of any kind as any ever grown. 
Its drouth resisting qualities are superb, blossoms pis¬ 
tillate. Its fruit is brilliant crimson, not only on the 
surface, but through and through. This feature, to¬ 
gether. with its very strong strawberry flavor, will 
make it, when it becomes better known, perhaps the 
most popular strawberry for canning ever yet pro¬ 
duced. Time of ripening late. It is very productive 
of fine medium to large berries that make a very hand¬ 
some showing in the package, and always attract the 
best buyers. The berry is firm enough to make a good 
commercal variety, and as soon as it becomes known, 
and the price within the reach of the average grower, 
we shall expect to see it rank high among the standard 
market berries. 
Gladstone—It is unusual to find a berry as large as 
Gladstone yielding such large crops of berries. Add 
to this its general adaptability to all locations and we 
have a variety of exceptional value. It comes from the 
same source as Sharpless, which it resembles in large 
size of berry and plant, etc., but is decidedly better 
than that noble plant in its palmiest days, being larger, 
more productive and firmer, without the disposition 
to scald as does the Sharpless. It is a superb variety, 
and one destined to become exceedingly popular. The 
berries are uniformly very large, rich crimson in color, 
firm ,and of excellent quality. Plant is large, exceed¬ 
ingly vigorous and robust, and on good soil an im¬ 
mense bearer and the berries bring the highest prices 
in market. Early to midseason. 
Livingston—(Per.) Is a seedling of the Warfield, 
pollenized by Jessie. It is a vigorous, healthy plant, 
with very thick, leathery, dark green leaves that never 
damp off under mulch. It forms splendid crowns and 
roots very deep, The berries are a beautiful scarlet, 
and possess a luster that I never saw on any other 
berry that gives a well filled crate the appeal ance of 
being constantly swept by flames. Its quality is the 
very best. The shape is similar to Warfield, but more 
full at the point. In size it equals the best specimens 
of the Jessie, and with the exceptions of its quality and 
appearance, its greatest value lies in the fact that its 
size increases as the season advances.— Introducer 0 
Michels Early—(Per.) One among the very earli¬ 
est, medium size. Berries rather sour, scarlet in color. 
A healthy and abundant plant maker. Must be 
thinned to get best results. An old standard variety 
and needs no description. 
Rough Rider—(Per.) Imagine a strawberry with 
the size and shape of the Bubach, the color and firm¬ 
ness of the Gandy, the productiveness of the Sample 
and you have a pretty good idea of the Rough Rider, 
The individual berries are rather irregular at first 
pickings like the Bubach, but tone down and are 
regular shape during most of the season. No berry' 
packs together better in the crates and baskets. If this 
berry has a fault it is dark color, but every straw¬ 
berry grower knows that the markets now demand a 
dark colored berry. Pick the Rough Rider when not 
too ripe and you have a perfect market color. In firm¬ 
ness, it is phenomenal, No berry we have ever grown 
will surpass the Rough Rider in firmness. It has been 
shipped to Bostonin the hot weather of July, 350 miles, 
in an ordinary express car. without ice, and sold for 
twelve cents per quart. The plants are very rugged 
in growth, with thick, leathery foliage. This foliage 
stands up twelve to fifteen inches high on the origi¬ 
nator’s grounds and protects the berries from the sun. 
Tennessee Prolific—(Per.) A fine one to grow, 
very desirable to plant with most pistillate varieties in 
a general way. Comes up to all former and surpassed 
all past records when given a chance with other good 
varieties. The only objection to them is they are a 
little inclined to be soft, if left too thick in the bed, but 
if they are properly cared for and not allowed to ripen 
too thoroughly in the patch there will be no complaint 
on this account. 
Uncle Jim—New variety introduced by J. B. 
Dornan, of Michigan. Berry is very large and uni¬ 
form in size, of a bright, beautiful red color, of high 
quality, and is a variety that is very productive. The 
Diant is large and healthy, with abundant foliage. 
forming a row just right for fruiting. The berries are 
large, heart-shaped and very uniform—all are hand¬ 
some and very attractive—an excellent shipper, unsur¬ 
passed for canning, and very productive. Season, 
medium to late. It has a perfect blossom, with plenty 
of pollen, 
Warfield—(Imp,) To get the best fruit of this 
variety it must be thinned at least one-half of the 
runners that are made in order to give it sufficient 
room and sunlight. If neglected and left too thick the 
berries are sure to be small, but in productiveness it is 
almost unsurpassed. The berry is dark red color, firm 
and of medium size. 
McKinley—(Per.) Prom Rochester, N, Y. The 
plant is a fine grower, of good size, a fair runner, 
clean, thrifty and productive. The fruit is large, firm, 
bright red. red clear through, roundish, conical in form, 
very attractive, and of high quality. We consider it a 
safe and desirable berry to plant for any purpose. The 
season is medium to late. 
Marshall—(Per.) Its home is Massachusetts and 
there it continues to be a favorite. The plant is very 
large and makes runners only sparingly. It really 
produces more bushels than one would give it credit 
for in looking at the plants, for it does not set many 
berries, but nearly every one is large and many are 
very large. They are of regular form, dark glossy red 
and very beautiful. The blossom is more tender to 
frost than some and the plant sometimes rusts. This 
is not a variety for a careless grower to plant, but 
every grower of fine berries either for home use 01 
market ought to give it a trial at least. 
Marie—Is one of a lot of seedlings grown in 1892 
from seed of Crescent, fertilized with Cumberland. 
When you can get a berry that will make as many 
bushels as the old Crescent, and as large as Cumber¬ 
land, with good solid color, then you are approaching 
the ideal in the strawberry.

Originator's description .—The plants are good 
growers, making plenty of runners for a good crop, 
and show no signs of disease. The blossom is imper¬ 
fect; season same as Bubach and Haverland. Equally 
as large as Bubach, Glen Mary, or Brandywine, and 
yielding with any variety; besides it is the most at¬ 
tractive in appearance when picked and ready foi 
market of any in our entire collection. The berries 
are round as a ball, dark crimson in color; flesh dark 
and quality first-class, holding up in size to the very 
last pickings. 
After fruiting the Marie last season we are well 
pleased with same and think them worthy of the above 
description. 
Nick Ohmer—(Per.) This variety is no longer an 
experiment. We fruited about half an acre this season, 
and in our field of more than 60 acres it was one of the 
very best in size, color aud firmness. The plant is 
faultless, a strong grower and makes fruit stems very 
large that hold the fruit well up from the ground; it 
therefore does not need mulching. When perfectly 
ripe it is of a beautiful carmine color and when packed 
in crates it is very attractive. An excellent shipper 
and will surely suit the fancy trade. Berries run in 
size from large to the very largest and will always de¬ 
mand a high price when fancy stock is desired. The 
flavor is delicious. Ripens about May 20th and con¬ 
tinues for about three weeks, 
Johnson’s Early—(S) An early large strawberry 
is now the most desirable acquisition among berry 
plants. It is evidently a seedling of Hoffman as can 
be seen bv its foliage. Ripens with the first, but on 
account of its larger size and better appearance in 
market sells ‘"at about double the price of any other 
berry of same,season.” 
The Johnson's Early is a clean, healthy grower and 
a most rampant runner, In size this berry is much 
larger than Hoffman, deep red in color, glossy, firm, 
sweet and of excellent flavor. The plant resembles 
Hoffman; makes runners freely.
