10 SQUARE DEAL NURSERY 
LADY TOWNSEND—An early variety, 
with perfect blossom, specially recommended 
for home use, as it is one of the best quality 
varieties on the list. We now sell more of 
this variety than we do of Mitchel’s early for 
the above purpose; is a good plant maker, 
and very productive; fruit medium in size 
and as firm as the Klondyke. 
LADY TOMPSON—A berry that needs no 
description from me; will just say that it is a 
genuine Southern variety and not suited for 
the North. We have a very small stock of 
plants this season of this variety. 
LADY CORNEILLIE—Originated in the 
South; said to be about same season as the 
Klondyke, and a close competitor of that va- 
riety. We have not fruited it here. We se- 
eured a good supply of the plants the past 
season and have a good stock of them grow- 
ing, and shall be pleased to furnish any of 
our Southern customers who may wish to 
give them a trial. The Southern press have 
given lots of accounts of its wonderful qual- 
ities the past season. 
LONG FELLOW—A perfect flowering va- 
riety that is making good in a great many 
sections of the country, and is fast becom- 
ing a standard. Medium early with us; qual- 
ity good; conical shaped; growth vigorous 
and healthy; fruit medium to large, and firm 
enough for a good shipper. If you have not 
tried Long Fellow better start now. 
LEA—An early variety that has proven 
good in some sections; others not so favor- 
able to it; we recommend it for trial only. 
LATE JERSEY GIANT—A perfect flower- 
ing variety, very late in season; quality good; 
moderate plant maker; fruit medium to very 
large, firm enough for close market or local 
trade. 
LOWERS FAVORITE—An early fruiting 
variety, with perfect flower. I was not lucky 
enough to see it in fruit the past season, but 
I heard so many good things about it that 1 
decided to catalog it this season and give 
my customers 2 chance to test it. Here is the 
introducer’s description: Large, productive, 
quality good, extra firm. 
Mascot 
MASCOT (Latest in season). 
is proving 2 gold mine to many of my cus- 
tomers. It is not unusual to get letters where 
they have netted from $500 to $750 per acre 
on this variety. The berry is one of the very 
largest, of good flavor and appearance, and 
is wonderfully productive. Plant growth is 
excellent. Seems to do well everywhere and 
especially so in all the Northern States. 
If you want the true MASCOT plants give 
me the order, 2s I positively know that there 
are two varieties being advertised under this 
name. The other variety is mid-season to 
late and small, poor fruit. 
My stock of plants is very large but I have 
a wonderful sale for the plants. If you want 
This variety 
MASCOT 
a variety to prolong the season get this one, 
sure, for they surely ripen long after the 
other spring croppers are gone. Nothing 
later but the ever-bearing kinds. 
MYRTLE MERRILL—An early variety 
that originated in Somerset county, Mary- 
land, a few years ago. We hear very good 
reports of it from Marion Station, where the . 
best extra early varieties are always in de- 
mand. They claim it to be better than By 
Ozark, or Wilkins’ Early, Fairfield Excelsior, 
ete. I think it worthy of a trial; is a good 
strong grower and free from rust. 
MONROE—A late perfect flowering va- 
riety that originated in New York State. 
Fruit large, firm, of extra good quality; isa 
strong plant maker; while it has not fruited 
with me I think it a good one to try. 
MICHAEL’S EARLY (Mitchel’s Early)— 
Ilas long been considered the best early va- 
riety for family use, and has been planted in 
thousands of gardens in the last twenty-five 
years. The size is too small to make it an 
ideal berry for commercial purposes, but for 
an extra early variety for family use it stands, 
KING. I grow several thousand plants each 
year for my trade and they never forget to 
ask for them.
