OF CHOICE STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 13

BRANDYWINE—The above illustration is true to nature and was made' from a photograph of a quart of berries picked by the writer on the 12th of last June in the beautiful Brandy wine valley, on the farm of Mr. Edward T. In gram, with whom it originated. Many of our readers will naturally jump at the conclusion that this quart of berries was made up'from the largest speci- mens to be obtained in the patch of 1-J acres, but such was not the case as crate after crate was being filled with beautiful fruit equally as fine as this shown in the illustration. This is not heresay or second hand news, I was there to> see for myself. On June 11th this plot containing H acres yielded 1630 quarts or 1100 quarts per acre at a single picking. This is one of the most valuable ever sent out. It has not a siugle defect that I know of. The plant is a luxur- iant grower, healthy and hardy and very productive; blossom perfect; fruit very- large, of good form bright red all over and good quality. Season medium to very late. It succeeds on any soil. Having great faith in this berry last spring after reading so many glowing accounts of it the previous season I bought heav- ily of the plants and in fact bought more of it than any one else so I was told
