AROMA 
AROMA. The best thing in its favor is its selling qualities. On 
all the Middle West markets Aroma is always quoted higher than 
average varieties, which in a season of over-production means a lot. 
My own experience leads me to recommend it as a good pollenizer, 
though it has not usually been recommended for that purpose. I have 
found it better than Chesapeake, for it is much more vigorous in 
growth. Certainly no grower can make a mistake in planting Aroma 
as it is a real money-maker in many sections. 
BIG LATE. Has been grown in every section where strawberries 
are grown, and it has proven itself a great money-maker for the 
average grower. I have never tasted a better berry. It is surely the 
aristocrat of the standard varieties for quality. Plants are strong, 
erect, and hold the berries olf the ground like cherries. Fruit medium 
to large, bright velvet red, and every berry looks like it hqs been 
varnished. Very few varieties equal it in production,
