SHERMAN 



Sherman 



Sherman (Per). — A new, perfect flowering 

 variety offered in our catalogue for the first 

 time last season. After fruiting it again we 

 are more than pleased with its behavior. Sea- 

 son medium to late; size of fruit, extra large; 

 cardinal red to the center, and without a 

 doubt the finest flavored berry I ever ate. 

 Not quite as productive as some, but every 

 berry a shining beauty. Any one North, 

 South, East or West, who is looking for 

 quality and not quantity, get some of the 

 Sherman plants. Our guarantee goes with 

 every plant that it is as represented or money 

 refunded. For the first time we can quote 

 in 1,000 lots at a moderate price. 



Late Jersey Giant 



Late Jersey Giant (Per). — We fruited this 

 variety the past season for the first time. 

 While it is a splendid variety we were disap- 

 pointed in its behavior with us; it was very 

 similar to the Gandy, and we could not claim 

 it to be any better variety. Some catalogues 

 claim it to be much larger and more product- 

 ive, with us it was about same both in size 

 and productiveness. We have a very large 

 stock of plants and shall be pleased to fill 

 orders for any one wishing them. 



Glen Mary 



Glen Mary. — ^A late perfect flowering va- 

 riety, but not suited to plants with imperfect 

 flowering sorts, as it is deficient in pollen, ex- 

 cept for its own use. Is a leader among the 

 very best in nearly all sections of the country. 



Is one of our best sellers; fruit extra large, 

 firm and of good quality. I could say hun- 

 dreds of good things about Glen Mary, but the 

 variety is known by almost everyone who will 

 receive this book and it is taking space for 

 nothing to say more. 



Billy Sunday 



Billy Sunday (Per). — An early to late 

 variety originated by D. P. Yost, of Ohio, about 

 seven years ago. Perhaps there is no re- 

 vivalist in the country that is so well known 

 as Billy Sunday. It is claimed by the origin- 

 ator that this variety is destined to become as 

 popular in a few years as its namesake. Mr. 

 Yost claims that the variety begins to ripen 

 with the Warfield and lasts until sample gets 

 well under way. Foliage is tall and large; 

 fruiting stems long and hold fruit well off 

 the ground. In form, flavor, color and size 

 the type fruit is all that the public demands, 

 and during the six years that it has been 

 grown on Mr. Yost's farm he has sold his 

 fruit at top notch prices and never has been 

 able to supply the demand. 



Billy Sunday will make an excellent mate 

 for imperfect blooming varieties, owing to the 

 long blooming season; this fact should not be 

 overlooked. Not fruited here only on spring 

 set plants, but we recommend it for trial in a 

 small way.
