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. 



Price, 90c dor.; $6.50 per 100. 



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. Itis recommended for general cultivation through- 

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



Price, 90c per doz.; $6.50 per 100. 



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 quahty and its sweet and delicious flavor. 



Price, 80c doz.; $6.00 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. 



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



RED STAR (Very Late, Perfect Flowering) 



Commercial growers and home gardeners alikeare demanding an extremely 

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

 berries bring good prices; and, from the 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. 



Select Standard Strawberries 



CHESAPEAKE (Mid-season to Late, Pistillate) 



A splendid grower making just enough runners for a matted row. The plants 

 root deeply, are vigorous and healthy, with large foliage. One of the best in flavor, 

 shape, size, color and appearance. 



Price, 60c doz.; $4.00 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 terries 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 Steele fungus is prevalent. 



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

RHUBARB 



MACDONALD. Developed by MacDonald College of McGill Univer- 

 sity. Montreal, Canada. It is a distinct improvement 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. 



NEW 



"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, Perpetual, 

 besides bearing the usual 

 spring crop, continues pro- 

 ducing fine tender quality 

 stalks throughout the sum- 

 mer and up to late fall. It 

 retains its fine flavor at all 

 times. The stalks are of 

 good size and range in color 

 from soft pink to deep 

 crimson. Roots set out this 

 spring will begin bearing 

 next spring. Price, $1.00 

 each; $10.00 doz.
