ABINGTON. 



Medium Early — Perfect Flowering.) 

 (Shown in color on the back cover.) 



A mid-season or main crop variety that we have 

 proven by trial worthy of all the high praise that has 

 been bestowed upon it. The plant is a thrifty 

 healthy grower and very productive. The large 

 foliage amply protects both flowers and fruit. The 

 blossoms are large and full being good pollenizers for 

 pistillate varieties. The fruit is large, of fine flavor 

 .vith firm surface of bright crimson which color 

 extends almost to the center, thus greatly enhancing 

 its value for canning and preserving. 



Price, (pot-grown plants), 60c. per doz., $4.00 per 

 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



BARRYMORE. 



(Mid-season — Perfect-Flowering.) 

 This splendid variety was originated by H. L. 

 Crane of Massachusetts. The plant is a healthy 

 vigorous grower and very productive, producing 

 quantities of large bluntly conical berries. The 

 color is glossy rich dark crimson on the surface; the 

 flesh is red and meaty, and of excellent flavor. Its 

 fine flavor and beautiful color make it a valuable 

 berry for the home garden or for market. (See en- 

 graving.) Price (pot-grown plants), 50c. per doz.; 

 $3.50 per 100, $30.00 per 1000. 



BEDERWOOD. 



(Early — Perfect Flowering.) 



An exceedingly valuable early strawberry. Conceded to be one of the best 

 early berries for home use and worthy of great praise. It is not only very early 

 but immensely productive. The plant is faultless, of healthy, vigorous growth, 

 and an enormous bearer, perhaps equal to any of the pistillate sorts in this 

 respect, the berries are of large size, of regular roundish form, light scarlet 

 of excellent quality, remaining in fruit a long time. We picked berries from it 

 every day for a month last season. 



Price (pot-grown plants), 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



BRANDYWINE. 



(Mid-season to Late — Perfect Flowering.) 

 The Brandywine Strawberry is one of the well 

 known and well liked reliables. It has been thor- 

 oughly tested in many parts of the country and has 

 given universal satisfaction. 



The berries of the " Brandywine " are magnificent 

 and of immense size — very firm, solid and shapely 

 for so large a berry. In general it is broadly heart- 

 shaped without neck, occasionally fruits will be 

 found shaped as if two berries were joined together; 

 flesh red to the core, of delightful aroma, rich, juicy, 

 and luscious. The seeds are but slightly imbedded 

 which adds to its firmness. The color is of a rich, 

 dark glossy scarlet. Colors uniformly all over, no 

 white blotches nor green tips, and its large green 

 calyx greatly adds to the attractiveness of the fruit. 

 In productiveness the Brandywine strawberry is 

 truly a marvel, both in size and quantity. The 

 splendid large berries are borne on stiff, stout stems, 

 ripening in succession for a long period, from mid- 

 season until the very latest, holding up its size to 

 the last and every berry coming to maturity. The 

 plants of the Brandywine are remarkably vigorous 

 healthy and hardy, throwing out strong runners, 

 the foliage is of the largest and thriftiest, entirely 

 free from scald or blemish. Price, (pot-grown plants), 

 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



CHIPMAN. 



(Early to Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 



Shown in colors on the back cover. 



A new Strawberry from Delaware that is highly thought of. 

 is of strong upright growth with large healthy 

 foliage free from rust or scald. 



It is a very prolific bearer of glossy red fruit 

 medium to large in size, a little irregular in form 

 but of the popular old Bubach type, though the 

 Chipman has a perfect blossom, it is a good pol- 

 lenizer for mid-season pistillates. The berries 

 may not be firm enough for long shipments to 

 market, but for home consumption it is ideal. 



Price (pot-grown plants) 60c. per doz., $4.00 

 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



BUBACH. 



( Mid-season — Pistillate.) 



Probably the best-known and most popular 

 of all large strawberries. It is a wonder in its 

 season of fruit, completely covering the ground 

 about the plant with large berries. The berries 

 are remarkably large and continue large to the 

 last picking; roundish, slightly flattened and are 

 usually creased on one or both sides, medium 

 firm and quality good; color orange scarlet, 

 ripening well and even. It is certainly the largest 

 yieider of big fruit that grows. 



The plant is a beauty, strong, healthy, vigorous; 

 but unfortunately for us a poor producer of 

 runners. It is strictly pistillate and requires 

 some bisexual variety to be planted near to 

 pollenize it. 



Price, (pot-grown plants), 50c. per doz., $3.50 

 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



The plant 



CARDINAL. 



(Medium Early to Late — Pistillate.) 



A magnificent new " long season " strawberry that has been tested for several 

 years and proven " a great berry " adapted to all purposes, all soils and all 

 methods of culture. The plant is of- large, healthy growth with luxuriant 

 foliage which shelters the blossoms and fruit. The berries, medium to large in 

 size, are nearly round and run very uniform in shape and size — they are excep- 

 tionally beautiful in appearance, colored brilliant, bright red, ripening uni- 

 formly with no green nor white tips. The flesh is also as richly red as the 

 surface and of perfect texture, with a sprightly flavor that is temptingly ap- 

 petizing. (See engraving.) 



Price, (pot-grown plants) 6Cc. per doz,; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000.
