MIDSEASON 



Beauty 



This is an exceptional new variety. The plants and foliage are large and strong, with long, 

 fibrous roots. The berries are large, every one being almost perfect in shape and more 

 glossy and shiny than most any other variety. They are of fine quality and very firm. The blossoms 



are very resistant to late frosts, making Beauty very productive. 



We consider Big Joe, Aberdeen and Beauty the best mid-season 



berries.

 ■^* , * J ' C * UCC11 ] ar m eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and 

 justly so, for it has much to recommend it. The plants show un- 

 usual thriftiness, making abundance of new plants, and we recom- 

 mend planting the Aberdeen 24 inches apart in the rows. The Aber- 

 deen is unusually productive, equaling or surpassing the Premier. 

 The berries will average larger than Premier, being somewhat 

 pointed in shape, and most every berry is perfect in shape. Its 

 ripening period extends from two to three weeks.
