New Strawberries 



FAIRPEAKE (Late Perfect Flowering) 



Recently introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, this is an ideal 

 berry for the home garden. It is a cross between Fairfax and Chesapeake (the 

 same parentage as Starbright). It is more vigorous than Chesapeake and more 

 productive. A fine producer of large bright red berries.

MIDLAND (Perfect Flowering Mid-season) 



A new U.S.D.A. introduction being the result of a cross between Premier and 

 Redheart. This is an extraordinary berry that is beautiful, large and productive. 

 When grown in the U. S. Trial Gardens at Beltsville, Maryland, last year, some 

 observers considered that it surpassed for appearance, size and productiveness 

 any other variety of Strawberry in cultivation. The berries are excellent in qual- 

 ity but slightly tart in flavor. It is recommended for general cultivation through- 

 out the Eastern and Central states as far west as Arkansas.

 the hardiness of the plant. It is extremely desirable for New York, New Jersey 

 and northern sections of our country. The fruit is attractive, medium to large in 

 sire, of fine formation, and firm texture. Its color is bright red with a sparkling 

 surface. The flavor is delicious, rich and sprightly.

 superb quality and flavor.

Select Standard Strawberries 



MAYTIME (Very Early, Perfect Flowering) 



This is the sweetest and most attractive extra early strawberry that has ever 

 been developed. In size it is slightly smaller than Dorsett, but it makes up in 

 prolificacy. The plant develops a vigorous, healthy growtH. 



From the results obtained at various test plots, Maytime is highly acclaimed 

 for its extreme earliness, its high quality and its sweet and delicious flavor. 



Price, 80c doz.; $6.00 per 100. 



RED STAR (Very Late, Perfect Flowering) 



Commercial growers and home gardeners alike are demanding an extremely 

 late strawberry of good quality. From the commercial angle because very late 

 berries bring good prices; and, from (he home gardener's standpoint because, 

 whetted appetites demand more and more delicious fruit. 



The berries average very large and are bright red and glossy. The plant makes 

 a luxuriant large growth. 



Price, 80c doz. ; $6.00 per 100. 



DORSETT (Early to Mid-season, Perfect Flowering) 



The plants are vigorous, with deep rich green foliage, runners are produced in 

 abundance. The flowery stalks are strong, and the fruit is held well above the 

 ground. The beautifully molded, conically shaped, bright red berries are large 

 and uniform in appearance. 



The outstanding merit of this berry, however, is not its size, or appearance, 

 but its delicious flavor. 



Price, 75c per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



FAIRFAX (Early to Mid-season, Perfect Flowering) 



The plants are very hardy and disease resistant. The flower stalks are strong, 

 and produce quantities of perfect heavily pollened flowers that are larger than 

 most strawberry blossoms. The berries are very large, somewhat blunt in 

 shape, and bright red with prominent yellow seed. When over-ripe, the fruit 

 turns dark red but still retains its firmness and delicious flavor. 



Price, 75c per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



PATHFINDER (Mid-season, Perfect Flowering) 



It is an ideal Strawberry for the home garden, because its texture is soft and 

 luscious. It also possesses a tantalizing aroma which bespeaks a delightful piquant 

 flavor. It is disease resistant and can be grown successfully in areas where the 

 Red Stele fungus is prevalent. 



Price, 75c doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



STARBRIGHT (Medium Early to Late) 



We believe that this new berry possesses everything that could be desired in a 

 garden fruit. It is beautiful in appearance, of fine form, extra large and uniform, 

 with a bright brilliant color that inspired its name. Its flavor is, however, its 

 chief attraction — a true rich strawberry flavor, with a sweetness that should 

 preclude the necessity of any additional sugaring. 



The plant is very vigorous, the foilage is deep rich green and leathery.

 soil this spring will produce large useable roots by 

 fall. They are planted in rows one foot apart and two 

 feet between rows.

RHUBARB MacDONALD 



Developed by MacDonald College of McGiil Uni- 

 versity. Montreal. Canada. It is a distinct improve- 

 ment on the older types of Rhubarb. The plants are 

 exceptionally vigorous, and produce a large yield. 

 The stalks are large and of a bright crimson color — 

 very tender and of the highest quality. Due to the 

 bright crimson exterior color of the stalks, sauces or 

 pies made from MacDonald Rhubarb have a most 

 attractive rich pink color. We can only supply roots 

 of this variety. 



Price, Large Root Divisions, 60c each; $6.00 

 doz. 



"PERPETUAL" RHUBARB 



You can now enjoy the Luscious Piquancy of 

 tempting Rhubarb Pie any time from Spring 

 to Late Fall. 



Perpetual Rhubarb is an English development that 

 we believe will replace all other varieties of Rhubarb 

 in the home garden. Unlike other rhubarbs, Per- 

 petual, besides bearing the usual spring crop, con- 

 tinues producing fine tender quality stalks through- 

 out the summer and up to late fall. It retains its fine 

 flavor at all times. The stalks are of good size. Roots 

 set out this spring will begin bearing next spring. 



Price, 60c each;. $6.00 doz.
