The berries are of large globular form, slightly conical, and of a light bright scarlet;the flavor being always fine, mild, sweet and rich. They are a little soft for shippi. g, but this factemphasizes their superiority for the home garden. The plant is a vigorous, strong grower, free from rustand abundantly productive. We unreservedly recommend it for the home garden. Price, (pot-grown plants), 50c. per doz. ..50 per 100; per 1000. UNCLE JIM or DORNAN. (Mid-season to Late — Perfect Flowering.). A western strawberry that is attracting much attention for its superior merits. Plants unusually robust withlarge healthy foliage.
