Norwo od 



One of the very best for family use. 

 Originator claims that four berries 

 filled a quart cup. We never had any 

 that size, but have grown them as 

 large as one could wish strawberries 

 and they are as fine as we ever tasted. 

 For family garden plot, don't miss this 

 Norwood. Good from the Atlantic to 

 ihe Pacific. Price: $6.00 per 1000, 

 $3.00 for 500, $1.25 per 100, 75c for 

 50, 50c for 25. 



Bubach 



One of the old reliable sorts. While 

 we have many better varieties, many 

 of our customers cling to the Bubach, 

 especially in the North. Fruit very 

 large and mild in flavor, not firm 

 enough for a shipper in the South. 

 Bears a good crop, when properly 

 fruited with a good perfect flowering 

 sort like the Barkley, or Parson's 

 Beauty, New York, etc. 



Ford 



If there was any variety at our ship- 

 ping station the past season that out- 

 rivaled the Joe Johnson it was the 

 Ford. In season the Ford is same as 

 the Joe Johnson, in size it ranks about 

 the same; is a deeper red in color, and 

 has a firmer texture, thus making it a 

 firmer berry than the Joe Johnson. 

 Meat is solid red through and through, 

 with a flavor similar to Wm. Belt. Has 

 a beautiful green calyx that adds 

 greatly to its appearance. We booked 

 orders for many thousands of plants 

 the past shipping season while deliver- 

 ing our berries to the station. We 

 have received many complimentary 

 letters from our customers who have 

 tested it the past season. In plant 

 growth, it is our favorite on the list. 

 Plants medium size, strictly hardy in 

 every way; making a great mass of 



fine roots that penetrate deep 

 in the soil. Picked al the rate 

 of 10,000 quarts per acre the 

 past season on our farms, on 

 land that was not 

 particularly adapted 

 to strawberries., be- 

 ing high sandy loam 

 suitable for growing 

 plants only. We be- 

 lieve that where 

 everything is favor- 

 able 15,000 quarts 

 per acre may be 

 grown from the 

 Ford. We recom- 

 mend this variety to 

 all our customers 

 everywhere. Price: 

 $5.00 per 1000, $2.50 

 per 500, 90c per 100, 

 50c per 50 plants, 

 30c per 25 plants. 



Chesapeake 



In a great many 

 sections of the coun- 

 try the Chesapeake 

 is a leader for qual- 

 ity. Sets only a very 

 few runner plants, 

 just enough to fruit 

 well, fruit extra 

 large, handsome, 

 and of the very best 

 quality. Season late 

 to very late, too well 

 known now to need 

 a long description. 

 We grow every season a large stock of plants but seldom 

 have enough to go around. Price: $5.00 per 1000, 500 

 at 1000 rate. 



Three Fords will fill a glass.

Stevens Late Champion 



Popular as a late variety in some sections 

 productiveness, we know of nothing more prolific, but 

 quality is very poor. Price: $4.00 per 1000. 



Townsend's Late Champion 



This is a variety that has won on its own merits. \\ - 

 never gave it any boastful advertising. It was a chance 

 seedling found growing near an old Annua bed. We did 

 not pay much attention . > until by chance we got it 

 started in the great berry section around Bridgeville, 

 Del. It was there that it soon made itself known, and 

 its good merits began to be heard from. The mowers 

 went wild. In a short time every mail that came in 

 brought us letters inquiring for plants. Automobiles 

 came to our farm by the dozen. It was which t<> get the 

 order for plants in first. We had only a small acreage 

 mowing as we had not expected any such rush for the 

 Townsend plants, and many had to wait. We looked 

 orders 12 months in advance for a great many growers, 

 and today this is one of the best known varieties in that 

 part of Delaware; and is still leading their very best 

 varieties. The Townsend"s late is a perfect flowering 

 variety. Fruit large and round: color bright red to the 

 center. A heavy cropper, a tine flavored berry, ami 

 firm enough for a good shipper. In plant growth it is 

 very hardy, making plenty of long, coarse roots, and is 

 one of tlie surest eroppers on our list. We have never 

 had any fruit for our own use from our propagating 

 beds, as the demand is still heavy for our plants. Plant 

 Townsend late for a sure money maker. Good every- 

 where, North. South. ESaSt, West. Some ol our very 

 best reports now come from the State of Florida, while 

 others come from California. New Hampshire, the 

 tral West. etc. Price: $4*00 per 1000. 500 at 1000 rate. 

 7.->o per 100.
