VILLAGE NURSERY, SlGHTSTOWN, N. J. 11. Nettie. (Imp.)—A seedling of Bubach and Yale was crossed with Sharpless. The best of these seedlings were again crossed with Gandy, and among th<»in was found the Nettie, the largest straw- berry that we have ever fruited. It com- bines with this valuable quality the productiveness of Bubach, and the vigor of plant so prominent in Sharpless.

Berries from large to very large, and vines laden ; color, between crimson and scarlet, medium firmness and quality ; shape, broadly conical and quite regular. June 25 : Vines still thrifty and bearing many berries, both ripe and ; Price,—40c. per doz. 75c. per 100, $ per 1
