New Strawberry 
Delicious Quality; Rich and 
Spicy, with the True Straw¬ 
berry Flavor. 70 days. Flavor 
like that of a strawberry, hence 
the name. It grows to be a 
desirable market size; the fruits 
weigh from 5 to 7 pounds each. 
Its outside appearance compares 
favorably with the green nut¬ 
meg of old, turning to a yel¬ 
lowish hue, as it were, over 
night, when fully ripened. Its 
smooth, deep flesh is of an 
attractive pinkish-rose color, 
particularly soft and melting, 
and with that exceptionally de¬ 
licious strawberry flavor leaves 
nothing more to be desired in a 
muskmelon. Pkt. 5c; oz. 12c;
