Picking BIG JOE in 



BIG JOE (per) 



Also known as Joe Johnson 



As a money-maker I know 

 of nothing in the strawberry 

 field in standard varieties 

 that will surpass the Joe 

 Johnson. In productiveness 

 it is almost by itself. In size 

 and beauty it is all that can 

 be desired. There is nothing 

 but good qualities about the 

 Joe Johnson, Under just or- 

 dinary culture the Joe netted 

 our customers more than 

 SI 000 an acre several times 

 in the past five years. In 

 plant growth the Joe makes 

 a strong clean plant. Sets 

 just enough plants for a 

 matted row. The Joe is a 

 universal type of beny. It 

 grows good and 'makes good" 

 everywhere under nearly all 

 conditions. 



We sold the Joe at our stations here in 

 Mar^^land this vear carload after carload at 

 S7.00 to $8.00 per 32-ciuart crate, and some 

 brought as high as SIO.OO per crate. We have 

 proof of one acre picking eighty 32-qt. crates 

 one day. I know all the above to be facts, 

 and when I say the Joe Johnson is a wonderful 

 variety I have not said half. 



We have a Thoroughbred stock of plants this 

 season. We introduced the variety seven years 

 ago, and our stock has never been equal to the 

 demands and we have increased our acreage 

 year after year until we cannot increase any 

 more. Only one way to get the plants — send 

 in the order as soon as you get the booklet. 



PARSON'S BEAUTY (per) Mid-Season 



A favorite with market gardeners and can- 

 ners throughout the countiy. Fruit large and 

 of best eating quality. Not fii-m enough for a 

 shipper. 



i/ NEW YORK (per) Medium 



As a local market or home use berry, it is a 

 general favorite. Fruit large and mild in flav- 

 or. Strong upright plant grower. Has many 

 other names, such as Uncle Jim, Oswego, 

 Ryckman, etc. 



HERITAGE (per) Medium. 



A large and veiy fine beny. Once grown, 

 always growTi. We have had this on our lists 

 for several years and demands increase. Mod- 

 erately productive in frait, but is supreme in 

 quality. Good plant maker and free from rust. 



WARJ^IELD (Imp.) Mid-Season. 



Warfield is a good mate for Dr. Burrill or 

 Dunlap. One of the most productive when 

 properly polinized. Extra fine for canning. 



BEDERWOOD (per) Early to Mid-Season 



One of the old time sorts that came to stay. 

 Fruit medium in size; best of quality for a 

 table or canning beny. Plants hardy and easy 

 to grow. A great favorite with home garden- 

 ers.

^ GLEN MARY (per) Late 



A late variety that has been a favorite for a 

 long, time in the New England States, also 

 many other sections. It is a beautiful rich 

 colored berry; flavor mild and considered fine 

 for market gardeners and home use. 



WM. BELT (per) Mid-Season to Late. 



Produces a large berry of extraordinary 

 beauty and quality. The Wm. Belt is a variety 

 of which many of the best table varieties are 

 compared with as to quality. Has been the 

 leading berry for table use in thousands of 

 homes for many years and still grows in de- 

 mand. This is an ideal strawberry for market 

 gardeners as well as for home use. As to 

 productiveness it is all that can be desired. Is 

 one of the best pollenizers for imperfect sorts 

 of its season. Plants strong and make runners 

 freely. We have never heard of the Wm. Belt 

 being a failure anywhere.

Dekalb, Texas. March 22-18. 



The Strawberry plants arrived all O. K. after a lon« 

 time on the road. They were packed so nicely that they 

 had already begun to grow. Have had a fine rain today, 

 do not think I shall lose a single plant. Many thanks 

 for extra plants, they were the best plants I ever receiv- 

 ed from any one. Will send you some more customers 

 this fall. Strawberries are ripe here now.
