Ford 
KORD—A perfect flowering variety, sea- 
son medium late, or in other words same sea- 
son as Chesapeake, Joe Johnson, Sample. 
This is the first time that the public has had 
a chance to secure this wonderful variety. I 
say wonderful because the qualities of this 
variety is all that the name implies. 
In giving the variety a name the word 
FORD was selected for this reason: the Ford 
car “has become the universal car,’ and it is 
expected in a few short years that the Ford 
strawberry will be as well known by the 
farmers of the United States as the Ford car 
is today. This is saying something. But this 
variety has all the aualities necessary to make 
it America’s one best late strawberry. Our 
supply of these plants this season is not large, 
and will only be offered in small trial lots. We 
do not expect to do all the talking in praising 
the good points in the Ford, but are going 
to leave it to our customers, and will ask 
each one of our customers who buys this va- 
riety this season to report to us just as soon 
as they have fruited it, describing its be- 
havior with them. Wherever it fails to give 
satisfaction I want to know it, and the money 
paid for it will be returned. The cut on page 
does not do this variety justice; the size 
of the fruit runs from 30 to 40 berries to the 
quart, average; when the largest were picked, 
about 20; try them now on our guarantee. 
Fendall 
FENDALL (imp).—lI will give the introdu- 
deseription: 
“This splendid berry originated in our gar- 
den at Towson, Baltimore county, Maryland, 
in the spring of 1905. It is a seedling of the 
weil known William Belt. Its claims to pub- 
lic favor are as follows: First, great vigor of 
plant growth. Second, large size and deli- 
cious flavor. Third, great length of bearing 
season. Fourth, wonderful productiveness. 
Fifth, splendid root system. Sixth, beauty 
and symmetry of form. The plant is strong 
ane@ vigorous, clean and healthy. ‘The ber- 
ries are as large, if not larger, than any other 
variety grown, and unlike most large varie- 
ties in that they are of delicious flavor. In 
length of season it is certainly remarkable. 
Jn 1907 we picked berries from it on the 25th 
of May and the last on the 10th of July. Witb 
the same care and under like conditions, it 
produced twice as many berries as the Sena- 
tor Dunlap, Corsican, Glen Mary, William 
Belt, Marshall, and three times as many as 
the Gandy.” 
T have grown the Fendall for seven years 
and endorse the above. It is one of my very 
best.
