HARRISON’S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 
D 
O 
Excelsior (Per.)—Early, large, firm, high colored 
and well-shaped berry. It is immensely productive 
and will take the place of Michel’s Early wherever 
tried. Wilson shaped and colored. Plant resembles 
Hoffman, but larger and more robust. 
Fairfield. — Remarkably productive, medium to 
large in size, firm enough for a commercial variety, 
quite early and good quality. 
Gandy (Per.)—While this is an old variety, it is 
probably the best late variety that has ever been 
produced; is growing more and more in favor each 
year. It does best in low bottom land that can be 
well drained, and will do extra well in rich clay 
soil. Fruit above medium size, dark color, very firm 
and is a good shipper, 
Gladstone (Per.)—The berries are uniformly very 
large, rich crimson in color, firm and of excellent 
quality. Plant is large, exceedingly vigorous and 
robust and on good soil an immense bearer, and the 
berries bring the highest prices in market. Early 
to midseason. 
Glen Mary (Per.)—Under high cultivation in rich 
clay soil is a remarkable good variety, but for the 
careless way of planting we do not recommend it- 
Fruit of large size, good color, firm and a good 
shipper. 
Haverland (Imp.)—The berry is from medium to 
large size, bright red, long and pointed, fair in qual¬ 
ity, and as a shipper it should be well pollenized 
with perfect bloomers, and in this way you can im¬ 
prove the firmness. It is one of the most productive 
varieties grown. Medium. 
Jessie (Per.)—This berry does not seem to be 
adapted to all kinds of soil. It is a splendid ferti¬ 
lizer, good quality and good color; does extra well 
in some sections. Very early and is one of the 
largest berries on the market. 
Johnson’s Early (Per.)—Clean, healthy grower 
and a most rampant runner. In size this berry is 
much larger than Ploffman, deep red in color, glossy, 
firm, sweet and of excellent flavor. The plant re¬ 
sembles Hoffman. Early. 
Kansas (Imp.)—Its drouth-resisting qualities are 
superb. Its fruit is brilliant crimson, not only on 
the surface, but through and through. It is very 
productive, of fine, medium to large berries, firm 
and good shipper. Late. 
King Philip. -— Plant and fruit of this variety 
much resembles the Gandy, but is more productive. 
Fancy-fruit growers would do well to plant this 
variety.—Originator. 
Klondyke. —The plants are only medium size, but 
are very productive. Like Gandy, it produces some 
pistillate blossoms early in the season. The: fruit 
is very large, obtusely conical, smooth, red, firm 
and of good quality. 
I»adLy Thompson (Per.)—This variety has been 
grown world wide and in great variety of soils, and 
it seems to succeed quite well. However, it is bet¬ 
ter adapted to rich, loamy or sandy soils. It is 
early, very large and quite productive. 
Eouis Bubach (Imp.)—Large size, somewhat round, 
very firm, immensely productive, claiming to pro¬ 
duce three times as many berries as Lady Thomp¬ 
son on the same soil; a business berry, dark red in 
color. Four days later than Early Hathaway. 
Bivingston (Per.)—In size it equals the best 
specimens of the Jessie, and with the exception of 
its quality and appearance, its greatest value lies 
in the fact that its size increases as the season 
advances. 
Midnight (Per.)—Berries of very large average 
size. It is a seedling of Haverland and Parker 
Early. Last of all the season, ripening long after 
the main crop of Strawberries is out of the way. 
Mark Hanna (Per.)—Seedling of Bubach, which it 
very much resembles; berries on an average not 
quite so large; very productive. Plants are very 
large, fine growers. 
Marie (Imp.)—Season same as Bubach. The ber¬ 
ries are round, dark crimson in color; flesh dark and 
quality first-class, holding up in size to the very 
last pickings. 
McKinley (Per.)—The plant is a fine grower, of 
good size, a fair runner, clean, thrifty and product¬ 
ive. The fruit is large, firm, bright red, red clear 
through, roundish, conical in form, very attractive 
and of high quality. Season medium to late. 
Michel’s 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. 
Hew Horae.— We have fruited this two seasons. 
It has not been just as good as we hoped for; the 
plants are not sufficiently strong to mature a crop 
of fruit in a dry season. Lacking in foliage, the 
fruit is of medium size, bright red color, but it is 
a good keeper and shipper. 
Hew Globe. —A late berry. The plants are large, 
vigorous and stocky, perfectly free from rust or 
blight, and is a very heavy cropper of large, bright, 
fine flavored and solid berries, which are good ship¬ 
pers. The roots of these plants are very long, tak¬ 
ing strength and vigor from a large surface of 
ground, which enables every berry to mature and 
hold a good size to the end of the season, stand 
severe drought and the plants grow vigorously. 
Hick OInner (Per.)—When perfectly ripe it is of 
a beautiful carmine color. An excellent shipper 
and will surely suit the fancy trade. Berries run 
in size from large to the very largest. The flavor 
is delicious. Ripens about May 20 and continues 
for about three weeks. 
Hew York. — This variety is fast becoming a 
favorite. It is a cross of Bubach and Jessie. “New 
York is a fancy berry for fancy trade. Very large, 
bright red, strong foliage and heavy fruiter.” 
Oak’s Early. — Originated in Somerset county, 
Maryland, in an old oak stump, from which it de¬ 
rives its name. Ripens with Michel’s and Hoff¬ 
man’s, resembling the latter, but far superior in 
many respects, being a much stronger grower and 
three times as productive and adapted to most any 
soil. This berry is beautiful in appearance and fine 
in quality. 
Tennessee Prolific (Perfect).—A desirable vari¬ 
ety; ripens medium season; berries above medium 
size. One of the most prolific varieties grown; 
desirable to plant with pistillate varieties. Plants 
should be thinned in order to get the' largest 
berries. 
Bough Rider (Per.)-—Size and shape of the Bu¬ 
bach, color and firmness of the Gandy, productive¬ 
ness of the Sample; firm. The plants are very 
rugged in growth, with thick, leathery foliage. 
Sharpless (Per.)—One of the largest when planted 
on strong, rich, moist soil, but the variety will do 
fairly well in lighter soils, but not as well as a va¬ 
riety like Tennessee Prolific on poor soils. The 
berry when not fully ripe is a little white at the tip. 
Parsons (Perfect). —A berry that has probably 
given the growers more money than any one va¬ 
riety on the list during the past five years. It is 
as productive as Tennessee Prolific, begins to ripen 
with Tennessee and extends its season into Gandy. 
Is firm, about the same shape as Tennessee, dark 
brilliant in color; flesh dark red. It was originated 
in Maryland in a noted strawberry section. It has 
been extensively planted and is in greater demand 
than ever. The plant in growth resembles Bubach 
and will make twice as many plants to the acre. 
Is a strong, perfect bloomer and a desirable vari¬ 
ety to plant with, varieties like Haverland. 
Superior. — It ripens midway between Michel’s 
Early and Haverland. It does not seem to oe at all 
affected by the dry, hot weather. The berries are 
good size and shape and of a beautiful glossy red 
color. Try Superior on rich land. Very productive. 
Sample (Imp.)—This new berry is of large size 
and fine quality, quite firm and continues a long 
time in fruit. The berries are large to the last. 
Yields as many berries as the Haverland and aver¬ 
ages as large as the Bubach. Late. 
Senator Dunlap (Per.)—Medium to large, conical, 
occasionally flattened slightly or ribbed; color a 
rich dark crimson. Flesh red throughout, firm and 
fine in texture; quality excellent, sprightly. Plant 
a good strong grower and healthy. 
Sutherland (Imp.)—Plants have a dark green foli¬ 
age and no rust. Seedling of the Bubach, with a 
strong, vigorous, healthy foliage and a great bearer. 
The fruit is large, bright color and has an elegant 
flavor. 
Tilghman’s Favorite. — Originated in Wicomico 
county, Maryland, by one of the leading Strawberry 
growers. Spoken of as a good market variety, ripen¬ 
ing medium to late. 
Uncle Jim (Per.)—Berry is very large and uni¬ 
form in size, of a bright, beautiful red color, of high 
quality; very productive. The plant is -large and 
healthy, with abundant foliage, forming a row just 
right for fruiting. Season medium to late. 
Warfield (Imp.)—To get the best fruit of this 
variety it must be thinned at least of 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 productive¬ 
ness it is almost unsurpassed. The berry is dark 
red color, firm and of medium size. 
Woolverton. —It will succeed on almost any soil, 
but will do better on a sandy loam. The plants 
make a good growth, have a perfect blossom, which 
is full of pollen, and make an excellent variety to 
plant with medium early to late pistillate varieties. 
It is no uncommon thing to see blossoms and ripe 
fruit at the same time.
