MIDSUMMER CATALOGUE, 1912. 
STRAWBERRIES. — Continued. 
MEDIUM. 
Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red 
to the centre and of rich spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its 
fruit well up from the ground and generally succeeds everywhere. 
Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit without green tips and with 
quality similar to the Marshall. It blooms early and late, making it a good variety to pollenize 
the pistillate sorts. 
Mark Hanna. P. An exceedingly prolific variety ripening in midseason. The berries are of 
enormous size, attractive in color and of splendid quality. 
Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of handsome, glossy, dark 
crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private 
use or market. It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it 
does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascer- 
tained. 
New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. ‘The berries are large, of 
conical form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they 
sell at sight. 
Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free from rust, and ripening about 
one week earlier than Gandy; it is nearly as large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in 
either high or low land, but owing to the immense crops it sets, the ground should be well 
fertilized to ensure best results. 
LATE TO VERY LATE. 
Belmont. This oli favorite is still considered by many to be the finest late berry. The 
fruit is of handsome appearance and keeps well. 
Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous with rich dark green foliage. 
The fruit is of large size, deep red in color and of a rich aromatic flavor. 
Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large conical, deep crimson 
fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well-known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, 
but also very productive, of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy. 
Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry growers. It is more largely 
grown than any other late variety. On sandy soils it is unproductive. 
Minute Man. P. A very productive sort, ot fine quality. 
New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that does not lose its lustre 
and turn dark for a long time after being picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, 
will produce a large crop on either high or low land. 
William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. The berries are 
as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red: 
season as late as Gandy. 
Stevens’ Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy type, yielding large crops of 
beautiful berries very late in the season. 
ALPINE VARIETY. 
Large Red Alpine. No one who has eaten the delicious little strawberries of the Alps will 
ever forget their delicious aromatic flavor. We are now able to offer this large fruited variety 
of the Alpine strawberry. Per doz., $1.00. 
NEW EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY. 
Superb. A variety of recent introduction, producing large glossy, dark red berries of good 
quality. The plant is of compact growth and makes runners freely. When late fruit is desired 
it is better to pinch off the first flowers, and also keep the runners cut, which will give vigor 
to the later crop. 20c. each; $2.00 per doz.; $14.00 per 100. Ready August Ist. 
ENGLISH VARIETIES. Per dozen, $1.25. Ready August 1st. 
British Queen. A popular English variety producing large, conical, pale red berries. 
President. The fruit is crimson in color and of superior flavor; good for forcing 
Standard. Very early, small, dark-red berries of fine flavor; forces well. 
Duke of Edinburgh. Late. Fruit irregular, but otherwise similar to British Queen.
