Warfield is still the best berry for canning and shipping. 
 Splendid is a very strong grower and very pi’oductive with 
 shapely berries of large size if plants are not allowed to 
 make a bi’oad matted row. Brunette holds its place as the 
 most delicious variety now cultivated. Clyde continues to 
 grow in popularity every where and will be more largely 
 planted this season than any other variety. 
 
 .1. H. Hale says that for an all purpose berry I know 
 OP NONE TO EQUAL IT. He also says; 
 
 “ I don’t think much of “the other fellow,’’ who i.s always saying, “I told 
 }'ou so," hut somehow I did have the “I told you so” feeling when Clyde 
 began to ripen and were out-doing in yield, size, form and quality anything 
 that laid ever been cUiirned for them. It heaped its huge berries one upon the 
 other in greatest profusion erery where — great big, rollicking fellows , as perfect 
 in form as the small end of a hen’s egg — the most uniformly symmetrical lot of 
 berries I hare erer seen, with not one single or imperfect berry from beginning 
 to end of season Clear, light .scarlet color; beauties in every waj'. Moder- 
 ately firm and of fine quality. 
 
 “ That was just it. Various single plants had all the way from 18 to 25 
 heavily loaded fruit .stalks; no very small berries, many ver}’ large ones, 
 every one a perfect .specimen in form; not a .single misshapen berry in the 
 whole crop. It is a perfect bloomer, has light green foliage, and in plant 
 growth is about midway between such rampant tj’pes as Haverland and 
 Tenne.ssee, and the more leisurely Belt and Maximus, that make fewer, but 
 stronger plants. No rust or blight has yet been seen on Clyde, and Us deep- 
 rooting habit tits it to stand drouth.” 
 
JERRY RUSK. 
 
 After fruiting this Strawberry last June in long matted 
 rows near similar rows of Biibach, Clyde, Marshall, Wm. 
 Belt, Warfield, &c., I can truly say of it as Mr. Hale has said 
 of Clyde, “that for an all purpose beuhy I have seen 
 NONE EQUAL TO IT." It originated in this county; was con- 
 siderably ^rown this season on varying soils near Muncie 
 for market purposes, and thus far is the only variety ever 
 tested here that seems to have no fault or imperfec- 
 tion. Phower ])erfect, a strong grower and a free plant 
 maker, wholly free from rust: berries of massive and 
 imposing form, dark scarlet, and of better shape, larger 
 AVERAGE SIZE AND PRODUCED IN GREATER ABUNDANCE 
 THAT THOSE OF Bubach. Bursts of admiration greeted it 
 last season wherever it was placed on the fruit stands. As 
 soon as plants of it can be obtained it will no doubt displace 
 Bubach in this region. My ]>lants of this variety will be 
 furnished by the originator only a few miles from my |)lace 
 and will be remarkably fine and most carefully packed. 
 Those who first secure plants of it will command their 
 markets. It has been tested at several Experiment Stations 
 and invariably found most ])romising. It is probable that it 
 was never grown on a considerable scale for market until 
 last season. Its berries color evenly.
