QUEEN 



'ueen 



Queen (Per), — One of our new seedlings, 

 introduced' 1916, and while we shall give no 

 lengthy description at this time will say that it 

 has shown sufficient merits to be tested by all 

 berry growers North or South. Season late, 

 to very late. Fruit large and firm and good 

 quality; very productive; makes exceedingly 

 large plants that send up as many as four to 

 six crowns to the plant; blossoms are very 

 large and full of pollen, which makes it an 

 ideal berry for planting with late, imperfect 

 sorts. We sent out quite a few plants the past 

 season for testing purposes, and expect to hear 

 good results from it. Do not forget to add this 

 to your trial bed this season. 



Francis Willard 



Francis Willard (Per). — Season late. Fine 

 plant-maker and a grower of large, perfect 

 shaped berries that are firm and good quality. 

 We have only fruited it one year and think it 

 worthy of a further trial. Comes to us very 

 highly recommended as a commercial variety. 



Sample 



Sample (Imp), — One of the most popular 

 late varieties for the north. We have had the 

 Sample for several years, and while there has 

 been a great many late varieties introduced 

 since the Sample, our orders become heavier 

 each year, and we find that it is seldom that 

 enough plants are grown to fill all orders for 

 this variety. 



One thing the Sample needs and that is a 

 good mate, as it is imperfect blossom. We 

 recommend Joe Johnson, Aroma or Rewastico. 



The Sample is too well-known to need a fur- 

 ther description; will add that it is large size, 

 firm, bright red all over and quality fine. 



Bubach 



Bubach (Imp). — One of the very oldest 

 varieties now on the list, which goes to show 

 that it possesses considerable merit. We have 

 never recommended Bubach for the South, 

 but for the North it certainly is hard to beat. 

 And every season proves to be one of our very 

 best sellers. We are asked many times dur- 

 ing the shipping season which is the best, 

 perfect variety to set with Bubach. We have 

 recommended several times Joe Johnson, or 

 Aroma, or both, and we find that our custo- 

 mers have got some very fine yields when 

 fruiting in this way: 



Set one or two rows of Joe Johnson, then 

 four rows Bubach, then two rows Aroma, and 

 so on across the patch. 



We have grown a fine stock of Bubach 

 plants this season, strictly thoroughbred 

 grown on new land and will be pleased to 

 have your orders as we feel sure that our 

 prices are as low as you can buy good plants 

 for and better plants cannot be grown.

 Dear Sir — Ttie 16.000 Missionary plants arrived 

 in fine shape, and as fine a lot of plants as I ever 

 saw. You certainly give a fellow a good count. 

 Every bunch has from one to three plants over. 

 I don't believe I will lose 50 plants out of the lot. 

 Please mail one of your catalogues to my neigh- 

 bor, Mr. L. R. Sealey. He wants some of your 

 plants j-ight away. Tours truly, 



W. S. SHELTON.
