UNCLE JIM 



OR DOBJMAN. 



(Mid-season to late — Perfect 

 Flowering.) 



A western strawberry that is 

 attracting much attention for its 

 superior merits. Plants unusually 

 robust with large healthy foliage. 

 It is a remarkable drought resister 

 and a big and reliable producer of 

 extra large berries — very uni- 

 formly heart shaped — of a bright 

 beautiful red color and of high 

 quality. It is claimed by the 

 introducer that the fruit brings 

 25 per cent more in the Chicago 

 market than any other variety — 

 on account of the large size, hand- 

 some appearance and fine quality 

 of the berries, 12 selected berries 

 often filling a quart measure heap- 

 ing full. It was named " Uncle 

 Jim " by the Chicago commission 

 merchants, in honor of its intro- 

 ducer, Mr. James F. Dornan, but 

 the Michigan State Horticultural 

 Society thought the name not a 

 good one and had registered it as 

 " Dornan." So this variety is 

 now known under both names for 

 above reason. (.See engraving.) 

 Price, (pot-grown plants), 60c. doz.; 

 $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000.

Steven's Late Champion. 



(Late — Perfect Flowering.) 



This is a splendid late variety that has won great popularity. One of the 

 latest of the late, it is also one of the best either for the home garden or for mar- 

 ket. It is a big producer of fine large, bright colored berries holding up in size 

 well to the very end of the season. 



The plant is a large healthy grower, making a great mass of roots, insuring 

 it against both drought and frost. Its very late bloom makes it immune to 

 late spring frosts and it is in full fruit when most other varieties have entirely 

 finished their fruiting season.

)UCGeSS. (Early to Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 



This new early fruiting strawberry is one of the most beautiful as well as the 

 earliest large berry we know of, and although early it holds out well through the 

 strawberry season bringing every berry to perfection; the last berries coming in 

 with the later varieties and almost as large as the first borne. The berries are 

 of larger globular form, slightly, conical, and of a light bright scarlet; the flavor 

 being always fine, mild, sweet and rich. They are a little soft for shipping, but 

 this fact emphasizes their superiority for the home garden. The plant is a 

 vigorous, strong grower, free from rust and abundantly productive. We 

 unreservedly recommend it for the home garden.

WILLAKD. 



(Mid-season — Pistillate.) 



A truly wonderful berry, very large and very beautiful. Its color is that brilliant, glossy red that seems to 

 belong particularly to the Strawberry. The flesh is as red as the surface and delicious in quality. The plant is 

 large and healthy with an abundance of bright, thrifty, foliage, which amply protects the fruit. The fruit ripens 

 all over at once, no white t'ps. 



Price (pot-grown plants), 60c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



WILLIAM BELT. 



(Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 



A luxuriant grower, healthy and hardy, very productive, and 

 the berries are very large. It has produced many 8-inch berries. 

 Shape rather long, conical and quite uniform. The color is 

 deep glossy red all over. It is as firm as ordinary berries, and of 

 a better quality than is often found in large varieties. All things 

 considered, it is one of the best varieties for the home grower — 

 the flesh is solid and meaty and of a rich crimson to the, core.
