Plant very vigorous, healthy and remarkably productive. It is said to have yielded at the rate of 15,000 quarts per acre. Its robust habit will, we think, render it capable of enduring extremes of heat and cold, and to thrive on a great variety of soils. This is one of the most promising varieties introduced recently, and it seems destined to become popular over a wide area of country. In spite of the long continued drought which prevailed in this locality, it has done admirably on our grounds the last season, growing vigorously and producing a very heavy crop of good fruit. Season medium to late. 75c. per dozen; $ per 50; $ per 100. Parker Earle Strawberry. The illustration is an exact copy of a photograph of a complete well grown plant.
