Wm. Belt, Unsurpassed in Quality. 
Gibson. Berries large. Beautiful dark red in color. One of 
the most productive. Bears through a long season. Blossoms per- 
fect. We believe this to be the same as Parson’s Beauty. Price 
list page 28. 
Kellogg’s Prize. The berries are large and beautifully formed. 
They are firm in texture, which makes them good for shipping. 
Kelloge’s Prize is one of the most productive very late varieties 
we have ever seen and it holds to size well until the end of the 
season. We believe it is fully as good as Sample, but a little 
larger, a little more productive and considerably later. Those 
who know and like Sample will do well to include some Kelloggs 
Prize to extend their season. The blossoms are imperfect and 
should be planted with some variety like McAlpin, Wm. Belt 
or Gandy. Price list page 23. 
Lupton. One of the largest and most handsome berries we 
have ever seen. The plant is a vigorous grower and produces 
strong, healthy foliage. They are very productive, and as 
stated above, the berries are beautiful—they are uniformly large, 
bright red in color, with a large green cap which makes them 
doubly attractive. The quality is poor, but the berries are firm 
and will carry as well as any variety we have ever seen, not 
even excepting Klondyke and Twilley. On the large markets 
the appearance of berries is more important than quality—this 
being true, we believe the Lupton, by reason of its large size, 
handsome appearance, and excellent shipping qualities, is des- 
tined to be one of the best money-making strawberries on our 
list. Lupton is often mistaken for Chesapeake, and in whole- 
sale markets where quality counts for little, will sell with Chesa- 
peake. It is easier to grow and will yield more quarts per acre 
than Chesapeake. For growers who ship fancy large berries, 
Lupton is worth a thorough trial. Price list page 23. 
Magic Gem. A vigorous grower with leaves and stems very 
thick and tough, which makes it most resistant to insects and 
diseases. The berries are borne in great abundance and are very 
large in size, with a large, green cap and bright yellow seeds, 
making them very attractive. On good land Magic Gem will 
bear through a very long season, extending the season until most 
other varieties are gone. 
McAlpin. A very vigorous grower that will do well on light 
poor land, but also responds wonderfully to richer land and 
greater fertility. Will grow anywhere. The berries are me- 
dium to large in size, brilliant scarlet in color and unexcelled in
