Reid's Catalogue of Small Fruits, TIMBRELLl^Reid's Greatest Success. A Strawberry that has surpassed all expectations, yet not half its merits have been told. Each mail brings to us the cheering news that those who have planted it the past season cannot speak too highly of it. Never has a new fruit so quickly become such a general favorite, succeeding so well in every locality, and never has there been such a run for plants as on Timbrell. We could not by any means supply the demand last spring. It is the Gem of Strawberries. Growers have become acquainted with it, and they cannot say too much in its favor. The press has also said for it more than for any other new fruit put on the market. It has been confirmed by the leading horticulturists as the best variety ever introduced, and has even surpassed its former record this last season. We claim that it is to-day the best berry in existence ; and not only the best berry, but the most profitable for the commercial grower to plant; and also the best variety for family gardens. Points that are essential in making a good variety are productiveness, hardiness, healthi- ness, with solidity of fruit sufficient to place it in good condition on the market. Timbrell not only possesses these points, but is one of the most hardy, if not the most hardy, of the Strawberry family, and in qualitj' it surpasses any known kind. Growers have said that it was hard to get a variety perfect in all points. This we know, but it is more nearly attained in Timbrell than ever before. What has been wanted was a good late variety. In Gandy's Prize we have a good berry, yet it is lacking in the most important points, viz, : product- iveness and hardiness, while these two points alone would make Timbrell the most
