The greatest Southern Commercial Berry. Buy your plants from the originator. 
trol a large supply of plants this season, 
it is being introduced under most favorable 
circumstances, as the price will not inter- 
fere with anyone wishing to test it. Price, 
$5.00 per ..1,000; $1.00 per 100; no less 
than 100 plants sold. 
First Prize (Per). For tke first time I am 
able to offer this variety at a price within 
the reach of all berry growers. I have 
had this variety urder test for several 
seasons and it has been sent out to all 
sections of the country and has proven 
a great success, and the demand today is 
greater for this variety than any one on 
my list. It seems to be as near a perfect 
variety as it would be possible to get. I 
describe it as follows: Early in season, 
but 10t an extra early bloomer, foliage 
beautiful, plants strong and healthy, with 
a wonderful root system, not a blemish 
of rust ever shows on them, sets plants 
just right for a good crop, and every plant 
is a fruiter; is as productive as one could 
wish, fruit extra large and is classed every - 
where grown as strictly fancy, has a 
double calyx that remains green until the 
fruit is decayed, no matter how dry the 
season. Color bright scarlet with a mild 
flavor resembling the wild strawberry, is 
firm enough in most cases to be classed 
with the good shipping varieties. While 
it has not a tough skin, the berry is much 
lighter in weight than most varieties, 
which adds to its carrying qualities. I 
have grown them every year for the past 
seven years and it has not failed each 
season to produce a fine crop. It sells 
for more money at the loading stations 
here than any variety that goes to the 
market. I sent this variety out with a 
guarantee to please or refund the pur- 
chase price. Several hundred orders were 
shipped in this way two vears ago and 
not a single complaint has ever been 
made. Every strawberry grower should 
test this variety this season as it is a 
sure winner. The price this season is $5.00 
per 1,000, with lesser quantities as per 
price list. I shall set several acres for 
fruit this season, as this is the first time 
I have been able to get a stock of plants 
so that I could set them by the acre. 
Early Queen (Per). Early to mid-season; 
erimson color, somewhat wedge shaped, 
colors all over, large to extra large, very 
attractive, flavor fine, yields heavy, a 
strong plant maker and a great drouth 
resister, an excellent variety and one 
that is becoming my very best seller, has 
been thoroughly tested in almost every 
state in the Union and seems to do well 
everywhere. : 
Chipman (Per). A very good all around va- 
riety, size medium, of the Klondyke type, 
suitable for either home or commercial 
purposes, very productive and ripens its 
crop in a few days, plants small and up- 
right, does best in northern sections.
