Barkley 



Barkley (Per). — Introduced by us in 1912, 

 and is proving very popular in the Northern 

 States, being one of the very surest croppers 

 planted. Large, firm and of good quality; 

 not firm enough for the South. 



One grower writes us that he picked over 

 4,000 quarts from one-quarter acre and that 

 his berries topped the market. About same 

 season as Parson's Beauty, and is taking the 

 place of that variety through most of the 

 Northern States. Plants strong and healthy; 

 do well on any soil. 



Kellogg Prize 



Kellogg Prize (Imp). — This variety was in- 

 troduced by The Kellogg Co., of Michigan. 

 We have fruited it for two seasons and con- 

 sider it one of our very best late varieties. 

 Fruit is very large, firm and productive; plant 

 grow^th is fine. We claim this variety to be 

 without a fault unless being an imperfect 

 bloomer might be claimed a fault by some. 

 Our Southern friends can do no better than 

 set Kellogg Prize, with Nic Ohmer, and we as- 

 sure them that it will make a much more 

 profitable berry patch than Nic Ohmer alone. 

 Our Northern friends should set Joe John- 

 son or Chesapeake with it, or Rewastico. 



We had a small trial plot of Kellogg Prize 

 and Rewastico the past season; set two rows 

 of each all- through the plot and this was con- 

 sidered by all who visited our nurseries the 

 past season to be the finest plot of berries in 

 our trial beds. Under proper cultivation 10,- 

 000 to 12,000 quarts of the finest quality 

 berries can be grown per acre when set as 

 above. 



As stated above we consider the Kellogg 

 Prize without a fault. First, it is a hardy 

 grower, makes just enough of strong, healthy 

 plants; fruit is large, firm, good quality, red 

 through and through and is exceedingly pro- 

 ductive. The past season the demand was so 

 strong for the plants that we had to return 

 many orders unfilled. We ask our customers 

 who are looking for a good, late variety, no 

 matter for what use to include some of the 

 KELLOGG PRIZE in their order. 



Lady Corneille 



Lady Corneillie. — This is a variety that has 

 fruited here with us one time. It is a rapid, 

 strong grower here with us, making plants 

 about same as Klondyke or Missionary; not 

 large plants, but strong and healthy. The 

 fruit as grown here the past season ranked 

 favorable with many of our best early va- 

 rieties. This variety hailed from the South 

 (Louisiana), and we have had many good 

 reports from them in many of the large berry 

 sections, and not only from the South, but 

 from the West as far as California. One of 

 my neighbors who visited the Exposition in 

 California the past year stated to me that it 

 was the prettiest berry he saw growing there 

 and stated that the growers were highly en- 

 thused with the berry. 



I have reports from about twenty growers 

 in Florida and every one seems to think it a 

 pretty good berry. But not satisfied to give 



way to it altogether yet. Berries h^re are 

 dark red and grow about same size as the 

 Missionary, not quite as productive, hut firm 

 enough for a good shipper. We hare grown 

 a fair stock of plants this season, pTolMil>ly 

 2 50,000 and will be pleased to fnrxiisli it to 

 any of our customers who want to tsj it out. 



Great Scott 



Great Scott. — A new variety with las; ^xom 

 made a splendid showing this season; elsatiaed 

 by the originator to be of great importsaaafie 

 as an exceedingly fancy home market Itesny; 

 said to be firm enough for home markets, t)Ut 

 not for long, distant shipments. 1 recom- 

 mend it for trial, as it is a good growsT aaid 

 plants are strong and healthy; have s/esa& JkO 

 fruit. 



Gov. Vansant 



Gover Van Sant. — A mid-seasim tjo^b^ 

 that is giving very good satisfaetitoa is all 

 parts of the country where it has be^ tx^d. 

 Is a strong plant grower and will staaid as 

 much drought in fruiting season as any va- 

 riety I have yet tried; fruit mediuiB t© large, 

 with a dark, showy calx; fruit firm asad of 

 the very best quality; in fact, goo^ ^^nsli 

 for a king. We have a fine stock eff placnts 

 this season and are able to reduce the pxice, 

 and we hope our customers who Imve mot 

 tried it will give it a trial this 



Twilley 



Twilley (Per). — The Twilley is last l>e- 

 coming popular in the South. Almc^st dadly 

 last winter we were receiving orders and sood 

 reports from our Florida customei^ We 

 have not grown near enough plants tlsSs »^- 

 son to supply our customers. We d«seiil>e It 

 as follows: 



Season medium early or same 

 Klondyke; size, medium to large; l^trm. &ad of 

 good quality; very productive. I Tee^v^- m 

 plant from one Florida grower that eoatalsiMd 

 58 green and ripe berries, and if the licaiioi 

 had all been ripe there would bave Imbcb » 

 heaping quart from this one plant. Secaafl 

 to be a strong grower and a favorite ewwcj- 

 where. We have grown berries here fca ©nr 

 soil where twenty would fill a qnart. WMle 

 it is good in the South it is equallj as ^ood 

 in the North and other sections of t^® eoim.- 

 try. Better place order early.
