It has a perfect blossom, and, judging from fruiting it one season, it is a good market berry, but not quite productive enough, and not as early as it was claimed. The introducer describes it as follows: "For a long time fruit growers and amateurs alike have been looking for a strawberry both large and very early, possessing all the necessary pro- perties of vigor and productiveness of plant, and firmness, fine appearance and good quality of fruit. In Crystal City we have earliness, but its berries are insignificant: in several other varieties large size, but they all ripen in midsea- son or late.
