WILLIAM BELT 





A New York and Pennsylvania 



Favorite 



!n New York and Pennsylvania, the Wm. Belt, though an old favorite, still ranks as one of the biggest money- 

 makers for market gardeners. Its appeal and salability continue and our sales of this variety increase every year. 



This variety is not a "fad". It is here to stay. Its good size, fine flavor, and all-around 

 good appearance are recognized by both growers and consumers. The fancy trade demands 

 the Wm. Belt and will continue to do so for many years to come.

It thrives in ordinary garden soil and produces good crops of fruit. Not adaptable to 

 low, springy soil, because, under those conditions, it is subject to rust.

 ket-gardener. 



The fruit is extra large, rich red to the 

 center, very firm and sweet, with the spicy 

 Wiliiam Belt flavor. 



In our trial plot, it equalled everything in 

 quality and stood very near the top in pro- 

 duction. 



WORLD'S WONDER. Here is a real cold- 

 climate variety, adaptable particularly to 

 culture in Maine, Vermont, New Hamp- 

 shire and Northern New York. The largest 

 berry grown, of good quality, moderately 

 firm and very productive. Fine for home 

 use and for sale at nearby markets where 

 size is a distinct asset. 



BRANDYWINE. Subject to rust at fruiting 

 time, producing large dark red fruit in 

 large quantities, this variety is still a fav- 

 orite in California and Florida as a late- 

 bearing variety. 



WASHINGTON. Fair in flavor, though lack- 

 ing the honey-sweet taste of better va- 

 rieties, this is a very firm berry, only mod- 

 erately productive. We recommend Chesa- 

 peake or Town King in its place. 



SAMPLE. Large fruited, moderately firm, of 

 bright red color and very productive. This 

 variety is fast losing its popularity and is 

 being outshone by the many newer and 

 more marketable types.
