Summary[edit]

Description

J. T. Lovett Co. — Strawberries.
SHUSTER'S GEM (P).
"All things cnnsiclered, we must regard the Shuster as a remarkable berry — as good as Bubach in
all respects and better in some a^, e. g. color, shape, productiveness, long bearing period and retention
of size during the entire season,"' —Bx^xh New Yorker.
A cross between Crescent and Sharpless it inherits to a great degree the characteristics of Its parents
as will be seen and recognized from our description of it. The plant is unusually strong and vigorous, with
bright, healthy foliage and a pistillate blossom. The fruit is large to very large, of globular shape, exceed-
ingly regular and uniform in both size and shape, maintaining a good size to the end of the season, beauti-
ful bright scarlet in color and of excellent quality. It is only moderately firm, however, and hence is not
especially adapted for distant shipment but for a near-by market or for the home garden it is unex-
celled. It ripens from early to midseason, continuing in bearing until late. It does not need petting of
any sort and seems to adapt itself to almost any soil and treatment. It will grow well just where it is plant-
ed, if any variety will. Its great points of merit may be summed up and noted briefly thus: a strong, ro-
bust plant, healthy, vigorous and prolific; fruit of large size, uniform shape and great beauty; quality
excellent. It has the size and vigor of the Sharpless and the productiveness of the Crescent.
Shuster's Gem has fruited with us since 1SS6 and we have careftilly noted its behavior under ordinary
field culture ever since. In view of its splendid behavior here and elsewhere, we purchased from the origi-
nator the entire slock and control of it and offered it for the first time in 1890. The past season under
somewhat adverse circumstances it has held its own as a beautiful, prolific berry of large size. We do not
know of a variety of strawberry that has a brighter flame-colored scarlet color. For the home garden it
should become a general favorite. ^See Colored Plate.)
Price, dozen, 50c; 100, $3.00; lOOO, $20.00.
