OF CHOICE STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 11 B1SEL—The Bisel is a seedling of the Wilson propagated in 1887. B are pistillate. Plants healthy, vigorous grower and abundant plant mal They have long, fine matted roots which enables them to stand severe drouth-. The fruit is very large luscious and firm. Color, a deep glossy red with double calyx. Very productive: season same as the to see how it would behave here. The plant is a good grower and is able to can} its great load of fruit to maturity. The berries are very large, of regular coni- cal form, bright red, quite firm and with seed but slightly imbedded, flesh i> light red and of good flavor. MARY,—It is the krgest strawberry yet produced, the most prolific, the most beautiful and firmest large straw- berry yet offered. The berries are uniformly of the con- ical form, with blunt apex, exception- ally uniform in size and shape, deep crimson color, and of extra rich, high quality. Of the entire list of strawber- bres there is not a single sort that will keep longer when ripe, or endure -hip- ping better. Its season is medium to late. The berries retaining their large size remarkably well to the end. A char- acteristic of the variety is that its fruit is rarely ill shaped, never coxcombed— an unusual feature in a large berry. We have now had it in bearing three successive years and a- it has not de- veloped a defect, and is so extraordina- ry in size, productiveness, fin beauty and quality it is with a keen sense of pleasure we offer it to the pub- lic.—Introducers. I have not yet fruited this berry but hear good things of it from several disinterested sources. A New York city commission merchant who has handled the fruit advesed me to plant largly of it for market. M\ stock of plan
