Ford 
(Per) 
Late. In the Ford we have a variety that 
will be very hard to beat. Has now been on the 
market for years. We have not boosted it in 
our Catalogs as its merit demanded. The Ford 
has gained in popularity year after year, until 
today we are selling as many Ford plants as 
any other variety on the list. And the remark 
that we made in our announcement six years 
ago that the Berry would become as well known 
as the ‘‘Ford Fliver’ in whose honor it. was 
hamed we still hold good.. We have received 
more good reports from the State Experiment 
Stations on this variety than any other variety 
we have ever listed. The past season we run 
short of plants in the very middle of the sea- 
son and turned down thousands of dollars worth 
of orders for FORD plants. 
We quote one of the leading Stations. The 
Ford, introduced by Mr. Townsend is one of 
the best late varieties, a characteristic in its 
large dark green leaves, large blossoms, long 
erect and branching fruit stems, large showy 
green calx, all of which when added to the ex- 
tra large bright red berries makes the FORD 
a valuable acquisitian to the strawberry family. 
Another testimonial from Penn., says: The 
Ford is th best late variety tested on this farm 
in many years, and more than 50 varieties have 
been tested looking for the best late berry. 
here are some very strong competition against 
e Ford, such as Lupton, Big Joe, and Lucky 
oy. but as the “Henry Ford Car” has stood 
ae rounds and the bumps, the jokes, the Flan- 
rs mud, the shot and shell, and has come 
rough all this H and is still popular, 
st so we expect to see our most wonderful 
late pet standard variety outlive them all.

The FORD is gaining in popularity everywhere. 
Received highest praise from the New York Stations.

We could print a book three times the size 
of this and not give half the testimonials we 
have received regarding this berry. We con- 
clude by saying that the Ford is truly an ideaj 
berry, easy to grow, good in size productive- 
ness, and quality delicious red all over through 
and through... Blooms late making it a sure 
cropper, long roots, makes it a great drougth 
resister, has never missed a crop from Maine 
to California. Place orders early and save dis- 
appointment, for no matter where you are sit- 
uated you can not afford to be without a Ford 
Kellogg’s Prize 
(Imp). 
We have grown this variety for several years 
and have found it a most worthy variety and 
one that is steadily growing in popularity. Sea- 
son very late. Should be properly mated with 
the very late varieties, such as Chesapeake, 
Ford, Worlds Wonder, Baltimore, ete. In plant 
growth it is fine, and produces heavily of wone-- 
derful large herries that are uniform in size 
and color when properly polenized. Is firm 
enough for a good shipping variety, and always 
brings highest market price. We have set this 
variety for fruit for past four years and find it 
a great money-maker. If you have not grown 
Wee Ree menace get some this year, 
ike it.
