Pennell—The following is the statement of the origina'or of the Pennell strawberry: The above illustration is from a photograph of the Pennell straw- berry first named the '"Dewey" it originated on the farm at West Norwalk Ct. as a chance seedling. I found it with a dozen other plants where an onion patch had been the year before, this one I selected from the others the follow- ing season when they fruited, it has borne fruit four seasons. Two reasons I have put them on the market and sold them to private families and the verdict everywhere has been that they were the finest fruit the} had ever tasted and I have sold them at 3 to 5 cents per quart above the prices of other fruit. They are very vigorous growers, I sent few plants last spring to Prof. TVaugh or trial at the Agricultural Station of Vermont, and he said "they looked like prize winners under any name" they are entirely free from rust or blight, t oey throw cut numerous st rong vigorous runners taking very deep root in the soil, the blossom is Staminate and the fruit is borne on stout erect stems a good deal like the wil berry, which t' ey very nAich resemble in flavor, you do not need to bury them in sugar tomab them palatable, the color of the fruit is dark red and the flesh is tinted all the way through, there are no hollow ones and no hard cores, the whole berry will melt in one's mouth, one does not have.
