CBi-sexual : Mid-season.) 



The well known popular old 

 reliable. It has no special point of 

 wonderful merit, excepting- surpass- 

 ingly fine flavor, but it almost invariably 

 gives the best of satisfaction for home 

 garden. For beauty, good average size 

 and productiveness it is unsurpassed, 

 and the plants do well in nearly all soils

 ular, bright crimson, firm, juicy, sweet 

 and rich. Price, (pot-grown plants), 50c.

Cumberland Triumph 



(Bisexual : Mid-season.) 

 An old standard variety and a great 

 favorite, and cannot be too highly 

 praised for home use. The plant is re- 

 markably strong and luxuriant in 

 growth. It is the earliest good berry. 



The fruit is bright and handsome, and 

 very pleasing to the eye ; the flavor is 

 good either as a table berry or for pre- 

 serving. One of the best features about 

 this berry is its long and continued sea- 

 son of bearing, lasting, as it does each 

 year, from a period of from twenty-five 

 to thirty days and the last fruit quite as 

 large as the first. Price, (pot-grown 

 p/avtsy) 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 10?. 



Greenville. 



(Mid-season to late. Pistillate.') 

 Berry of large and uniform size, very- 

 regular in shape and borne in immense 

 clusters. It ripens very evenly and is, 

 highly attractive. The flesh 

 texture; flavor very sweet with ao. 

 aroma that is simply delicious. The. 



giant is almost faultless. Vigorous^ 

 ealthy grower and a wonderful pro- 

 ducer. No one need hesitate to plant: 

 the "Greenville," as it is now pi 

 cally a standard sort, having been tested? 

 over a wide extent of country, and is> 

 very favorably commented upon by alt. 

 who tried it. 'Price, (pot-grown plants^

GANDY'S PRIZE. 



Eureka. 



(Pistillate. Mid-season to late.) 

 "You will find this the most 

 beautiful berry you ever saw." 



Averaging extremely large, and boun- 

 tifully prolific ; color, varnished scar- 

 let and of splendid quality. It com- 

 mences to ripen with the mid-season 

 varieties and continues to bear until 

 very late. It has been extensively 

 tested by prominent horticulturists and 

 at State Experiment stations, and all 

 endorse it with most flattering reports. 

 To test its fruiting capacity in the 

 matted row system, plants were placed 

 as close as they would grow ; the result- 

 ing crop of berries were produced in 

 such heaps and piles that many people 

 came to see the wonderful sight. Price, 

 (Pot-grown plants,) 5c c. per doz., $>so 100. 



Gandy's Prize. 

 Gandy. 



The 



(Bi-sexual. Late.) One of the best late 

 strawberries ever introduced. Strictly 

 fancy. The fruits are uniformly large 



, and perfect in form, and firm ; color, 

 I bright crimson and as glossy as if var- 

 nished ; it has a large bright green calyx 

 which greatly adds to the beauty. This 

 is the latest and best flavored berry we 

 have yet seen. The quality is all that 

 can be desired, giving out a most de- 

 lightful aroma, suggestive of both 

 strawberries and peaches. It ripens 

 from late to very late. The plants are 

 very vigorous growers. In well ferti- 

 lized soil this berry is a Mgyfeldi •: (See 

 cut.) Price, (pot-grown plants,) 60C per 

 doz.*, $4.00 per 10a.

This is the result of a lifetime devote«t 

 to improving the strawberry. The or- 

 iginator selected this as the very best 

 from a lot of siooo plants grown from the 

 seed. It is unrivalled in productiveness 

 and is probablv the most beautiful berry 

 ever raised. The largest single berry 

 \ve ever picked was from this variety- 

 and it measured seven inches around. 

 We have selected berries over r 1 - inches 

 in diameter, 16 of which filled a quart 

 basket and weighed one pound. The 

 flavor is very sweet, and they are red 

 way to the core ; plant all that could be 

 desired -healthy, robust, and very pro- 

 ductive. Price, (p+t- gv *wm fimmtsj <oc»
