Per- fect blossoms ; very productive of medium to large, rich, glossy, dark red berries, which are produced on tall, stout fruit-stalks, that always hold them well up from the ground, so that there are seldom any dirty or mussy berries, even after heavy showers, when there is no mulch under them.

The originator says : '1 They are so beautiful in appearance that the moment they are put on the market they sell like hot-cakes for the highest price. The flavor of the Chief is delicious and very sweet; being one of the sweetest of Straw- berries, it can be called the honey Straw- berry, while its fine, aromatic flavor, resem- bling that of the wild Strawberry, makes it one of the most delicious of berries. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 50, Si. 50 per 100. Greenville. Strong, heavy, dark green foliage, imperfect blossom ; very productive of large-sized, roundish berries ; a few of the largest slightly flattened; glossy crimson, with bright yellow seeds ; flesh medium red each plant throws up several fruit stalks, and the berries on each one of them ripen at the same time ; moderately firm and of a rich, spicy flavor. We thought a year ago that the many experiment stations were right in rank- ing it the best all-round berry then known, but that they had rather overestimated its quality. Now, however, we are ready to admit its high quality, and that it is by all odds the best all-round medium to late berry we have ever grown, being larger, more prolific, and of better color than Bubach. The Penn- sylvania Experiment Station Report for 1S93 OUR BANQUET Sirawberry has the delicious flavor of the wild berry- ask for anything better?
