type and flavor, but darker than that variety. The fruits are 
hidden by the foliage, causing one to pass it by as not a very 
heavy yielder, but itis above the average in that respect ; soft, 
but of a very fine flavor. 
No. 19.— This variety, received from Delaware, is of very low 
stocky growth, with light green foliage; has large clusters of fruit 
borne on thick short stems; the fruits are in form, color and 
flavor a reproduction of the Jersey Queen, but average larger in 
size than the latter; they are firm enough to ship. 
Ohio Centennial, Imp.—One of Geo. Townsend’s seedlings of 
more than the average merit; fruits coxcombed, scarlet and of 
large size, firm and of fine flavor. 
Oliver, P.— This is a very fine growing variety, making a fine 
bushy plant with showy green foliage; was not productive this 
year ; fruits of Sharpless type, with the characteristic green tip 
of that variety, firm, with a pleasing subacid flavor. ' ; 
Parker Earle, P.— With one year’s fruiting of this variety, too 
much can not be said in its favor. The growth and habit of 
plant are perfect ; its yield of fruit, while not up to the highest, 
is large, and the shape, uniformity of size, brilliant color and 
flavor combined, make a row of this variety appear the acme of 
strawberry growing ; the fruits at first are green, then, just before 
ripening, a dead white, after ripening a glossy scarlet with yellow 
seeds projecting from fruits, each fruit having the appearance of 
being cut off square on the tip end. It has not the firmness of 
the Wilson, but we think will ship to near-by markets. . - 
Pearl, P.— Not productive here. ? 
Phillip’s Seedling.— From Staunton, Ind. Is a variety of rank ~ 
growth, with light green foliage; fruits borne on stiff fruit-stalks 
which, however, are not able to hold up the immense clusters of 
large berries; fruits resemble Sharpless without the green tip. 
The stool plants are enormously productive, and make a very fine 
display when the fruits are ripe. Firm and of fine flavor. 
Shuster Gem, Imp.— This variety is well spoken of in some 
localities, but does not do well here; fails to make runners and 
produces but a small quantity of medium sized fruits. 
Tippecanoe, P.—An improvement on Sharpless, more produc- 
tive ; fruits average larger, earlier and firmer. — |
