A gentleman wrote to us from Kentucky recently as follows: “In looking over the Strawberries at 
the Kentucky Experiment Station, June i, 1899, I find to my judgment the McKinley the best berry on 
the ground. Their size, color, and quality were very superior, and there were a good many on the vines."’ 
Marshall—Very large, roundish, dark, rich crimson ; 
quality very good, firm ; plant vigorous, pro¬ 
ductive ; season medium to late. One of 
the largest and finest Strawberries of recent 
introduction. We consider this one of the 
very best varieties for all purposes. 
One of our customers writes : “ The Marshall 
Strawberry plants you furnished me 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 ituntil the end in a remarkable degree.” 
Michel’s Early —This is the first variety to ripen 
here ; berry medium to large, roundish, bright 
crimson, firm, fair quality; plant a strong 
grower and a good bearer. We consider 
this valuable on account of its earliness and 
productiveness. 
Parker Earle — Un i fo r m 1 y 
large, regular, conical, 
with a short neck; 
color, glossy scarlet 
crimson ; ripens all 
over; flesh moderately 
firm, no hollow core, 
quality good ; flowers perfect, 
and remarkably productive. 
Sharpless— Introduced by us. We have fruited it extensively, 
and regard it as one of the very largest and best straw¬ 
berries in cultivation. Plant very hardy, enduring both 
heat and cold without injury here. To secure the best 
results, we advise “hill culture.”
