SALISBURY, MARYLAND 



A thoroughbred Barkley plant in fruit. 



MARYLAND PRIZE amp.). Early to late. Thisis 

 one of our introductions and is proving- very 

 profitable. To secure best results should be 

 fruited with both early and late perfect bloom- 

 ing- varieties or fruit with the Helen Davis, and 

 you have a fine pair. I know of nothing that 

 would please you better. Both all around good 

 varieties and will rank as strictly fancy. Both 

 varieties need good soil to secure best results. 

 I have a fine stock of plants of each. Strictly 

 pure. 



Barkley 



Barkley (Per.). Early. This is another va- 

 riety that hails from Xanticoke. Md., where so 

 many good ones have come from. It was given 

 me to test three years ago and I have found it 

 as follows: A deep crimson top shaped, flavor 

 rich and delicate, produced enormous crops of 

 very large berries; begins to ripen early and 

 continues until late in season, berries hold up 

 in size until very last pickings. Foliage strong 

 and healthy. Makes an excellent pollenizer for 

 any early to medium early imperfect sort. It 

 is a variety that has cnme to stay, firm enough 

 for a good shipper and should be classed with 

 the fancy class. Quantity of plants limited. 



Gem 



(iem (Per.). Late. This variety was intro- 

 duced by Mr. A. F. FREEXY of Wicomingo Co.. 

 a lifeloner berry grower. Mr. Freeny fruiting it 

 first in 1911. Being a very dry season, when the 

 Gandv and Chesapeake dried on the vine^. this 

 berry produced a fine crop of the finest fruit I 

 saw that season. I was charmed by its appear- 

 ance and at once engaged all the plants he hud 

 to spare the next season. Season same as Gandy. 

 Strong- plant maker. making the heaviest. 

 strongest plants I ever saw. Rich, dark re'' 

 color, free from rust, holding the fruit well off 

 the ground. Fruit extra large, in fact the larg- 

 est berry I ever saw. not excepting the Nor- 

 wood. Color bright red through and through, 

 flavor mild, extra firm. Will be one of tho«*e 

 that has come to stay. So far It has proven 



extra productive. Mr. Freeny says three times 

 as many as the Gandy. I have placed the price 

 in reach of all and hope my customers will not 

 fail to test them. Does best in the Xorth. 



LATE JERSEY GIANT (Per.) New. (Van Fleet 

 Xo. 10). Ripens with the very earliest. Berries 

 very large, brilliant scarlet-crimson, conical 

 with pointed tip, colors all over at once. 1. 

 light green calyx, exceedingly showy and a1 

 tive. Blossoms open rather late and staminate. 

 Plant a strong grower with large leaves or 

 pliant stems and a heavy yielder. The 1 _ - 

 and best early variety. (Introducer.) 



Xot fruited here. Our plants of this and I. ate 

 Jersey Giant (Van Fleet Xo. 14 i. were received 

 from the introducer. First offer* 

 last spring at $150 per dozen and |
