NEW STRAWBERRIES. 
TRANSPLANTED LAYERS. From our extensive 
--collection we have 
selected the varieties offered as the best for general use. They were 
transplanted into cold frames in the fall, and if planted out any time before 
May 5th, will, under proper conditions, fruit some the present year. 
NE y_ FAMiLY Strawberry, RELIANCE. 
This grand new Strawberry was raised by one of the prominent New 
York market Strawberry growers, from whom we purchased the stock. 
It is a seedling of “Mary” crossed with “Marshall.” It was 
selected from amongst several thousand seedlings, its enormous size 
and healthy, vigorous growth having arrested the attention of the 
originator. It is a perfect-flowered variety, ripens with the “ Marshall ” 
and has a long season. This is only one of its valuable traits. 
The Fruit resembles the “Mary” in shape,but larger and heavier. 
It is remarkably uniform in shape for such a large berry. 
The Quality is unsurpassed, juicy, luscious, solid to the centre, 
the flavor being what is generally known as “mild.” It commanded 
top price in a critical market. 
The Color is dark crimson, very glossy and attractive, remarkably 
even all over the berry, never showing a white tip. 
The Growth is excellent, large, deep green, handsome foliage. The 
fruit is borne on strong stalks and in great profusion, as may be 
seen in the cut, which is a photograph of a plant m the field. 
Price, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100, $50.00 per 1,000. 
HENDERSON’S “ EPICURE.” (Midseason.) The quality is su¬ 
perb. The berry is very handsome, large and attractive. It is slightly 
conical and of a magnificent bright glossy crimson color with golden- 
yellow seeds. A distinguishing feature is the large vivid green calyx 
which sets the berry off to perfection. This, too, protects it in ship¬ 
ping, making it a fine market berry. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100.

large to the end of the season, two weeks after other late 
varieties are through fruiting. The quality is high.

good characteristics the “Marie ” rates with the best Straw¬ 
berries; close, smooth, bright berries, uniformly large.
