Joe. I. Rural N. Y. 56:471. 1897. 2. A''. Y. Sta. Bui. 276:71. 1906. 



Joe Johnson. 3.761(^.447:71. 1918. 



The outstanding merits of Joe are large, handsome, well-flavored berries, which are 

 suitable for either home use or the markets. The plants are satisfactory in all respects 

 except in hardiness, so that the variety is a favorite only in the comparatively warm straw- 

 berry regions of Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, and eastern New York. The plants are 

 exceedingly productive, therefore the variety is a very desirable kind for intensive culture. 

 Joe originated with J. H. Black, Son & Company, Hightstown, New Jersey ; introduced by 

 this company in 1899.
