TRUE-T O-XAME SMALL FRUIT PLA NTS 



WM. BELT (Per) 



Is still a leader in many sections as a good late home market 

 variety. It is ver- hard to surpass this variety in quality, but 

 when we produce the Ford, Townsend's Big Late and Premier, 

 Wm. Belt holds no longer the high honors of quality. But is 

 still ahead of more varieties than are ahead of the Belt. 



BRANDYWINE (Per) 



But for a few customers we would discontinue Brandywine 

 as there are so many better varieties. Season late, fruit large 

 to very large, dark red and quality fair; a good strong plant 

 grower. 



HORSEY (Per.) 



This is a valuable new variety introduced by J, C. Horsey, of 

 Somerset County, Md. Season very early, plants large, stalky and 

 very productive of large size, good quality berries ; color, dark red 

 to center, firm enough for a good shipping variety. In the section 

 where it was originated, around Marion Station, Md., it is fast be- 

 coming a standard variety on account of its earliness and good ship- 

 ping qualities. This is the first season we have grown t and have 

 added it because we believe it a valuable addition to our list, and 

 would advise our customers to give it a trial. 



GANDY (Per) 



One of the best known strawberries and one of the best all 

 around berries. Does best on black springy soil but wil grow 

 fairly well on clay soils, never plant on high sandy land. 



I received my plants on April 29th and 

 they came in fine shape. They were A No. 

 1 plants. I have bought from many nur- 

 series but these are the best I ever saw. I 

 will know who to deal with hereafter. Now 

 Gentlemen. I think you made a mistake, I 

 only ordered 210 Dr. Bcrrill. you sent me 

 27.5; 200 Premier, you sent 275; now I am 

 willing to p£y for these extra plants as they 

 are all so nice. Wis'iing you success at all 

 times, and can truthfully tell people you 

 are square men. — I am yours truly 



A. E. Gumma (Penn.). 



My Premier strawberries were the first 

 to ripen in this section, they sure are some 

 berries. Never saw such loads on any 

 plants, and the quality is good enough for 

 a queen. We have already picked more 

 than one quart for each plant set, and just 

 commenced picking. We have sold none 

 less than forty-five cents per quart: this 

 is June 25th. Sorry we did not set more 

 Premier. This patch of berries is the talk 

 of the neighborhood, and you will get lots 

 more orders from here. 



M. C. Mc. (Ohio). 



A COMMERCIAL TRIAL BED. Eyery strawberry grower should have a trial plot, aad 



test out in a small way all the new varieties. This is the way we find 



the BEST for our own soil.
