Price of Seaford new strawberry, 50c. per 12, $ per Clen Mary.—One of the best varieties at our frmt farm. Large, productive, firm and good.—C. A. Green. It is the best berry for large size, good quality and productiveness that has ever been offered; recommended it for the home garden and near market. It is fairly firm and will bear ship- ment comparatively well. When Crescent will bring 5c. and Bubach 10c. per quart, Glen Mary ought to bring 20c. per quart if size and quality cuts any figure in the price, and it is my opinion that for size, productiveness and quality the Glen Mary has no superior. One quarter of an acre picked at the rate of 1280 quarts per acre at a single picking, and over 12000 quarts per acre for the se? son with- out any petting or special attention whatever. Twelve specimens filled a quart. Rural New Yorker says; "Glen Mary (Imperfect) Jime 7, largest ripe berries up to date. Good shape for so large a berry= June 9th, berry very large, firm enough for near market, about the shape of Sharp- less. June 11th, large to very large. June 14th, a large yield of large berries of good form, broad heart shape, often widening at the tip; one of the most promising of our latter trials. June 17th, past its best. June 18th, still bearing a good many berries which hold their size unusually well. June 21st, still in bearing. Many of the berries are of the largest ; Price, 35c. per 12,75c. per 100. McKJnIey
