QUEEN 
QUEUN—Perfect flower, very late. This is 
one of our new seedlings that we have been 
testing for four years. While I did not send 
any plants of this variety to the experiment 
Station to be tested out by them. Iam of the 
firm belief that we have another very good 
variety of late strawberries in the Queen. In 
plant growth it cannot be beaten. I have 
counted at least four good, strong crowns on 
a single plant taken from a matted row. It 
seems to be a good drought resister, as we 
have had three very dry seasons to test it. 
We also had one very wet one the past sea- 
son and it stood the rainy weather and still 
showed its firmness. It is not as large as the 
New York, World’s Wonder or Joe Johnson, 
but for general purposes I think the size in its 
favor. The eating quality is very fine while 
it has plenty of acid flavor; color red to cen- 
ter, and ripens all over at same time. I have 
only a moderate supply of plants and will sell 
only 100 to any customer, and think it well 
worth a trial. 
Rewastico 
REWASTICO (Per).—This new berry was 
originated in Wicomico county, and was in- 
troduced in 1913 by Mr. W. F. Allen, who 
says that he considers it the only real com- 
petitor that the Chesapeake has, and in some 
respects it even surpassed that popular va- 
riety. I will say that it far surpasses it in 
plant growth. I have not fruited it yet, but 
am sure that it is worth giving a test. The 
supply of plants is very small this season and 
the prices will have to be high. We have, 
since writing, seen the above fruited, and it 
is grand.

RYCKMAN—A 
New York type; 
for both. 
Senator Dunlap 
SENATOR DUNLAP—A perfect flowering 
variety, and one of the best known on the 
whole list. It is to the North, East and West 
what the Klondyke is to the South. It is one 
of those healthy plants that if given a chance 
will look out for itself. It is deep-rooted, and 
will make a2 crop of plants no matter how 
much drought, and it’s the same way with the 
crop of fruit. It is very seldom the Dunlap 
has failed to satisfy in either plant growth 
or fruit, and for so small a plant as the Dun- 
lap makes, it produces the largest berry I 
have seen. For a polinizer it is one of the 
very best I know of for imperfect varieties of 
its season. Fruit rich, dark red, and flavor 
as good as any; is exceedingly productive on 
any soil. “I have fruited this variety for the 
past fifteen years and like it better every 
time,” says one of my customers from Penn- 
sylvania. When in doubt what to plant as to 
the varieties that might do best for your needs 
always try a few Senator Dunlaps, and you 
will not go far out of the way. We grow about 
five millions of this variety each season. You 
will find our plants fine and prices right.
