. Allen's book of berries. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. Bi. This new variety is a dandy. See illustration page 6. The plants CdUIy and foliage are large and strong with long fibrous roots reaching way down into the soil. The berries are real Beauties, every one being almost perfect in shape and with more gloss and shine than any other variety we know of except Big Late. The flesh of the berries is light red rather than a dark red in color. They are very fine in quality and firm enough to ship or haul moder- ate distances.
