Joe Johnson 



Joe Johnson was introduced by me the past 

 season under most favorable circumstances. I 

 had control of the output and had a fair supply 

 of plants to offer. I placed the price within 

 reach of all and succeeded in giving them a 

 wide distribution the past season, and I expect 

 to hear great things from them in a little while. 

 At our loading stations this season they were 

 the most sought for variety by the Northern 

 commission merchants, selling as high as $4.50 

 and $5.00 per thirty-two quart crate at the ship- 

 ping stations. 



The Joe is a medium late variety, beginning 

 with the Aroma, but does not fruit as late. It 

 bears an immense crop of large firm fruit of good 

 quality. One acre in fruit picked the past sea- 

 son at an average of over 1,000 quarts each 

 picking. The picking season in Maryland does 

 not last over 10 days. The Joe is a fine plant 

 maker, not a sign of rust or blight of any kind 

 ever showed on it here in our beds. The photo 

 on this page gives a fair description. I have 

 seen this variety on several different soils and 



it seems to do equally as well on one as the 

 other. If you did not get any plants the past 

 season, place your order at once on my guarantee 

 to be as represented or have your money re- 

 turned. 



I have received so many good reports from 

 this variety that I wish I had room to print all 

 the good things said about this berry. One fel- 

 low wrote: "I sent you $2.00 for 25 Baltimore 

 plants. I am writing to tell you it was the best 

 investment I ever made." 



Baltimore 



The Baltimore is the same season as Aroma, 

 and picks a long season; fruit is I firm 



and good quality, good plant maker, holds fruit 

 well off the I and is easily picked

 Baltimore is making good everywhere I can truly 

 recommend it to my Northern customers, or any 

 one looking for a large fancy variety for either 

 home or commercial purpo-

is a genuine EVER-BEARING strawberry, bearing a heavy fruit" the same > 

 or garden. It is almost frost-proof. It is the most exquisitely flavored of all fruits, so mild and 

 wholesome that even invalids eat it not only without harm, but with mai nefits In any 



market glutted with other berries it would bring a fancy price.
