STRTXiAZBBRRIES. 
fieixx Varieties. 
Each season brings to our notice a number 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 offer onl}? the varieties 
that have been tested in various sections of the country and in all kinds of loca¬ 
tions, and cannot fail to give satisfaction if given proper care: 
— The Henry is beyond all 
doubt one of the best strawberries ever 
produced. 
The plant is remarkable in growth 
and hardiness, and in the production of 
the finest fruit, we believe it has no 
equal. 
The berries are very large, uniformly 
round, with no cockscombs; color, dark 
crimson and the quality is excellent. 
Perfect blossom. 
In season, it begins to ripen with the 
earliest and continues in bearing to the 
last, making it a most valuable family 
berry. Beds of Henry three and four 
years old will produce as fine fruit as 
one-year olds.

F^IISQEW^Y—Plants large and stalky, 
possessing the ability to make a large 
number of strong, healthy plants, Eeaf 
large, heavy and dark green in color. 
Blossom perfect, a good pollenizer for 
pistillate varieties, as it remains in bloom 
for a long time; an ideal plant. Berrjq 
large to very large, the typical form 
nearly round, largest specimens broadly 
ovate, always smooth. Color, bright 
glossy crimson with golden seed. Firm 
for so large a berry, and will stand ship- 
ing to distant market, except in a very 
wet time. Quality as good as the best, 
an almost ideal berry and one that will 
command fancy prices on any market.

WM. BEbT — This has been well te.sted 
and has proved to be a very valuable 
berry, either for market or the home 
garden. 
We consider it rather the best table 
berry of the whole lot. In the “Mar¬ 
shall” we thought we had well-nigh 
reached perfection in quality, but having 
tested both, growing side by side, we 
must decide in favor of “Wm. Belt.” 
The berries are as large as “Bubach,” 
more perfect in shape, just as productive, 
and the color is perfect.

THE CLYDE —To say that the Clyde 
has been making long strides to popu¬ 
larity and public favor is putting it very 
mildly. But few varieties ever introduced 
have given better satisfaction in all parts 
of the country. Clyde is as large as Bu¬ 
bach, nearly or quite a week earlier and 
very much firmer. It is strong stami- 
nate. The plant is very vigorous and 
healthy, there being no trace of disease 
about it that I have ever seen, The foli¬ 
age is light green in color, berries scarlet. 
Its strong plants, with an abundance of 
long roots . which penetrate the soil 
deeper than most varieties, enable it to 
withstand drouth remarkably well. It 
is very productive. No one will ever re¬ 
gret planting it. Season early, 
J. H. Hale says: Clyde is the one great 
business strawberry basket-filler, money- 
catcher, debt-destroyer and family-pro¬ 
vider. Plant the.Clj'de, make money, 
grow fat and be happy.

MAGOOJN—We believe Magoon to be a 
grand strawberry. Wherever it has been 
fruited, it has received highest praise. 
The berries are a beautiful rich crimson 
color and are very large under proper 
cultivation. The plant is very healthy 
and immensely productive—quality of 
fruit is first-class — season medium. No 
one will regret giving Magoon a trial.
