Excerpt from Allen's Descriptive Catalogue of Choice Strawberry Plants: Spring, 1892 Martha. This is a market berry, originated by Wm. Lyons, of Minnesota. And named for his daughter, It was grown from mixed seed of the Cumberland, Countess and Wilson, and is supposed to be a seedling of the latter. It is the only variety saved from many thousand seedlings. It has been tested about ten years. And is now offered for the first time. I have fruited it under various conditions, and know it to be a variety of decided character. It has been grown by the acre in Minnesota. And pronounced the most profitable of all. In both plant and fruit it resembles the Wil son, and might be taken for that variety; but the blossoms are pistillate. And the flesh of the berry is thought to be redder than that of any other sort. The plant is remarkably healthy and vigorous. Its roots extend to a great depth. Enabling it to endure drouth and hard treatment equally with the Crescent.
