A Favorite in New York 

 And Pennsylvania 



WILLIAM BELT (Late Voriely) 

 The Fancy Trade Demands Berries Like Wm. Belt — It's An Old Favorite 



The Wm. Belt is grown largely in New 

 York and Pennsylvania for fancy trade. It is 

 in demand on account of its large size, good 

 eating qualities and fine appearance, making 

 it a favorite with both grower and consumer. 



"WM. BZSZiT is very productive, producing a 

 good crop of fancy berries on just ordinary 

 soils. It is not new by any means. We have 

 been growing Wm. Belt for the past 25 years 

 and it is just one of the varieties that has 

 come to stay. About the onlv fault we can

(Late) 



The Largest Berry 

 Grown 



The greatest thing 

 about World's Won- 

 der is its size. We 

 know of no other 

 berry that will equal 

 it in this respect. It 

 is without a doubt 

 the largest berry 

 grown. We have 

 picked these berries 

 on our test plots, 

 where nine berries 

 filled a quart. Qual- 

 ity good; moder- 

 ately firm and fairly 

 productive. Suitable 

 for home use or 

 nearby market, 

 where the size 

 counts. Our supply 

 of this variety is 

 limited, so if you are 

 in need of a fancy 

 large berry order 

 early. 



find with Wm. Belt is the fact that it is sub- 

 ject to rust on low. springy soils; therefore 

 would advise planting this variety on upland 

 type or on heavy clay soils. It stands at the 

 top of the list as a late monev making berry 

 and is highly prized by the market gardeners 

 that cater to the fancy trade. Wm. Belt and 

 Townking are two good late varieties to 

 cater to. We have only a limited supply of 

 Wm. Belt, so would advise placing order early 

 that we may reserve your plants and ship at 

 proper planting time. 



Other Popular Late Varieties 



BRANDYWINE is an old-time favorite, being 

 grown in New York State. California and Florida 

 at the present time. Berries large, dark red and a 

 heavy producer of high quality fruit. It is subject 

 to rust at fruiting time and should not be planted 

 on low soils. 



PEABIi (very late). The season of Pearl is very 



late and there is very little danger of late frosts 

 getting any of the blossoms or berries. It makes 

 plants freely and produces an exceptionally fine 

 quality berry of good size. Pearl does best on 

 springy type or heavy clay soils. If you want a 

 berry to extend your fruiting season another week, 

 then set pearl. 



(Pearl is one of the very latest strawberries 

 grown.) 



SAMPIiX: is fast giving way to other late varieties. 

 For a long time before Townking or Chesapeake 

 introduction it was in great demand as a late berry. 

 Fruit is very firm, bright red in color and very pro- 

 ductive. We grow sufficient stock each year to take 

 care of our old customers who wish to order Sample 

 of the best strain.
