NEM MHRIETIES 
Each season bi'ings to onr notice a nnmber of new varieties of Strawberries for which 
more or less strong claims are made, and, as often proves to be the case, many of them 
are almost worthless, except, perhaps, in the locality in which they originated. 
But some are grand berries, and in the following list we olfer only the varieties that 
have been tested in various sections of the conntry and in all kinds of locations, and can¬ 
not fail to give satisfaction if given proper care: 
Glen Mary. A superb variety which unites 
large size, great productiveness and good 
quality to a remarkable degree, and is evi¬ 
dently one of those sorts that are especially 
adapted to the amateur and those who 
grow extra fine berries for market. It is of 
extra large size, bring-ing the highest price 
in market, bright, glossy crimson, and fine 
in flavor. The plant is strong and healthy, 
very prolific and on good soil the berries 
maintain their large size to the end of the 
season. We feel confident it will give great 
satisfaction, and all who delight in fine 
berries should not fail to set at least a few 
plants of it this season. Early.

Bismarck. An improvement upon Bnbach 
No, 5, of which it is a seedling. The plant 
resembles Bubach in general appearance but 
is more robust and stocky, with the same 
ironclad foliage, and is even more product¬ 
ive. The berries ai'e very large, obtuse 
conical, seldom or never cockscombed, bright 
scarlet, firm and solid and of excellent 
quality. It colors all over, with no gi'een 
tip, and ships well.

Enormous. (P.) Those who attach im¬ 
portance to great size in a Strawberry 
should be well satisfied with this; for, as 
its name suggests, it is enormous. It is a 
western variety and in general ai^pearance 
somewhat resembles Bubach No. 5, but the 
l^lant is a better grower and the fruit is 
even larger and very much firmer. Often 
variable in shape, deep crimson, very glossy, 
firm and solid; quality very good indeed. 
It is excellent for canning, retaining its form 
perfectly. The plant is a strong grower and 
abundant bearer, its foliage showing not 
the slightest sign of rust. It has given im¬ 
mense satisfaction wherever fruited and will 
undoubtedly take a high rank. Early.

Mar.sliall. A superb variety, esioecially 
desirable for its large size and fine flavor. 
It brings the highest price in market and is 
profitable where fancj? berries are in demand. 
The berries are uniformly large, dark crim¬ 
son when fully ripe, handsome and good. 
The i^lant is strong and luxuriant but hardly 
productive enough in ordinary field culture, 
needing the rich soil and careful culture of 
the home garden, given which it will prove 
very satisfactory. Its excellent qualitj-, fine 
flavor and large size render it admiraljle for 
table use. Mid-season. 
75c. a doz., $3.50 a 100.
