Joe Johnson 





We introduced 

 this variety about 

 six years ago. We 

 called it the Joe 

 Johnson but since 

 the introduction 

 it seems that ev- 

 ery year someone 

 gives it a new 

 name. However 

 many names 

 there may be it 

 does not change 

 the variety one 

 bit. So many 

 names is confus- 

 ing and entire- 

 ly unnecessary. 

 While there is no 

 doubt but what 

 there are a great 

 number of late 

 varieties at this 

 time that are ex- 

 ceedingly grand, 

 and are "far ahead 

 of our old time 

 varieties, we have 

 yet to find any 

 variety that sur- 

 passes Joe John- 

 son in every re- 

 spect. We have 

 fully described 

 the Joe Johnson 



to our customers for the past six years and we 

 think it unnecessary to give such a long descrip- 

 tion this year. We will just say that the Joe 

 Johnson is all that is desired in a medium variety, 

 in beauty of fruit and plant, in production of 

 fruit, and quality. In size it compares favorably 

 with the very prettiest and largest of any varieties 

 yet seen. We sell more plants of this variety than 

 any other late strawberry seen. We ship the ber- 

 ries by the carloads every season and have never 

 failed to get top of market for our fruit. The 

 past season Joe Johnson cleared us over $500 per 

 acre, selling at the loading station from $3.00 to 

 $4.50 per 32 quart crate — for two weeks straight. 

 Our buyers know what a good variety is and they

never fail to go for the Johnson. We shall 

 be pleased to have all who receive our cata- 

 log this season, order some Joe Johnson 

 plants from us. We know that it will please 

 you and mean more business for us in the 

 future. Price: $4.00 per 1000 plants, 500 

 at 1000 rate. 



Bederwood 



An early to midseason variety. Has grown 

 to be one of the popular old sorts, being on 

 the list now about 30 years. Grown mostly 

 in the Northern latitudes. Size medium, 

 quality good; a fine shipping variety and 

 makes a fine strong healthy plant, though 

 not the largest. Price: $4.00 per 1000. 



William Belt 



Has been noted for a number of years as 

 the standard for quality. Where a good late 

 variety is wanted for family use we never 

 fail to recommend Wm. Belt as one of the 

 best. Is a good clean plant maker; fruits 

 abundantly, and good size. At beginning of 

 season is somewhat misshaped, but always 

 delicious in flavor and bright shiny in color. 

 We grow a large acreage of this variety 

 every season and seldom have many plants 

 left for fruit. Price: $4.00 per 1000, 500 

 plants at 1000 rate, 100 plants for 75c. 



/ Barkley 



A good fancy variety for home use. Fruit 

 large, sweet and productive. One of the 

 very best to plant with imperfect varieties 

 ripening midseason to late. Some of our 

 Northern customers are planting the Bark- 

 ley heavy for local market. It is the sort 

 that always bring more customers. Price: 

 $4.00 per 1000, 500 at 1000 rate.

 I purchased from you in the Spring 100 King (of 

 autumns). They have done splendid. I am well 

 pleased with them, they certainly be a good adver- 

 tisement for you here. JOHN K. WILLIFONG.
