This variety was originated about six years ago by John F. Beaver, of Dayton, Ohio, from seed of the Crawford. It has made a remarkable record—perhaps never equaled—and is now offered with gi*eat confidence. It responds readily to good culture, and all careful growers may expect it to produce the finest fruit in great abundance. The plant is large and healthy, and so vigorous in growth that it will mature its last berries and continue green and luxuriant while an abundance of strong runners are produced. The foliage is dark green, and so clean and healthy looking that it is a pleasure to M-ork among the plants. The blossom is perfect and one of the strongest ever seen. It commences to ripen soon after the eaidy varieties, and bears until nearly all others are gone. In a good soil its berries are all large. The plant, with its habits of growth and produc- tiveness, is faultless. The fruit is usually conical, sometimes rather long, but never cockscombed or misshapen, often necked. The color is dark, glossy red, and the berries are not inclined to have white tips. The large green calyx adds to its beauty. The flesh is firmer than most very large berries, and of excellent flavor. For healthy, vigorous growth, productiveness, size, beauty and quality, the Margaret is a remarkable variety.
