 TRA EARLY STRAWBERRY /VLJVJU^l L*UlllE-rlV 



Bisexual— Extra Early. 



THIS PROMISES to be the most valuable Extra Early Strawberry that we have ever tested. It was the earliest 

 variety on our grounds last season, gfiving the first ripe berry on June 4th, and three days later the plants were 

 full of bright red, roundish-conical berries, firm and of excellent quality for so early a berry. While we do not 

 claim for this variety extraordinary size of fruit, yet it produces it in such abundance that the aggregate weight will 

 compare favorably with the best of the large-berried sorts. The "August Luther" Strawberry, we think, leads all 

 good varieties in earliness, and it continues to yield during a long season. Prlc«. pot-grown plants^ 85c. doz., $6.00 100.

Bi-Sexual: Mid-Season to Very Late. 



ALTHOUGH the Brandy wine has only recently been offered to the public, j'et it is already tvorlJ 

 famous from the superlatively flattering reports in the Horticultural press, from the experiment 

 stations and from strawberry critics to whom a few plants were given for trial. It has been thor- 

 oughly tested in many parts of the country and has given universal satisfaction, in fact, we doubt if 

 any strawberrv ever before has received such enthusiastic praise over so wide an extent of territory. 

 The berries of the "Brandywine" are of magnificent and immense size— very firm, solid and 

 shapely for so large a berry. In general it is broadly heart-shapeJ 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 addsto its firmness. The color 

 is of a rich dark glossy scarlet. Colors uniformly all over, no white blotches nor green tips, and its 

 large greon 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 Brandywine are 

 remarkably vigorous healthy and hardy, throwing out strong runners, the foliage is of t'le largest 

 and thriftiest, entirely free from scald or blemish. PrlcCi potgro-iVn plants, rOc. doz.. $3.50 per 100.
