COPYRIGHT. 1899 & yy'. f; "â -J. and the finest varieties yet introduced. Choice Strawberries. Of all fruits known to cultivation, the Strawberry is con- ceded to be the most luscious, and is a universal favorite: yet it is not grown by one-half the people who might grow it just as well as not. It is but a few hours' work to plant a Strawberry bed and care for it during the year, and no work [ can possibly yield a better return. Strawberries bought in the market are not to be compared with the luscious ruby beauties, fresh and ripe, from the vines- The following are the very best varieties in cultivationâthe cream of allâin- cluding extra early, medium and late sorts. Creat WashingtonâThe real giant among big Strawber- ries. This improved new sort originated in the State of Washington, Samples, which we received in February, were potted, and bore fine fruit in April, Several hun- dred plants planted out in April fruited fairly well, though no fruit was expected the first season. The berry is not only the very largest and handsomest in cultiva- tion, but by all odds the best flavor. It is also a great cropper and vines are extremely healthy and vigorous, a merit not possessed by any other very large sort. What more need be said. It is certainly one of the grandest Strawberries ever introduced. 75c. per dozen; $ per 100; $ per New YorkâAfter fruiting the berry another year we find it still in the lead for large size, productiveness and health and vigor of plant. As fruited here the berries are large to very large, season of bloom medium; color dark scar- let, changing to crimson when fully ripe; colors all over at once, no green
