SELECTED STRAWBERRIES 



NOTE — When Setting Out Strawberry Plants be careful not to let the roots get dry. It is a good plan to dip the roots in 

 water, taking care not to wet the crowns, and then "heel in" in moist shady ground until you are ready to plant. Press the 

 earth down firmly on the roots, so as to exclude the air and hot drying winds. This is important. 



New Home — A splendid new bright red berry of uniformly large size. Without excep- 

 tion the best keeping and shipping berry known. Produces a very large crop and invaria- 

 bly brings a high price in the market. Price, 30c. per doz. ; $1.25 per 100, postpaid. 

 Auto — A new Delaware berry, for which large size, fine quality and enormous produc- 

 tiveness are claimed by the introducers. Plants are unusually vigorous, and carry 

 the fruit well up from the ground. 



Climax — Undoubtedly one of the most valuable Strawberries recently introduced. 

 Strong healthy grower, has produced at the rate of over 10,000 quarts per acre, 

 and no imperfect berries; ripens very early; good color and most excellent quality. 

 If you want the very best early Strawberry, plant Climax. 



Excelsior — Recommended as one of the earliest Strawberries known; good color, 

 fine flavor, very productive and excellent quality both for family use and for 

 market. 



Qandy — This is the standard late variety all over the country. Berries are bright 

 crimson and very uniform in size and shape. Plants, vigorous and healthy. 



Haverland — A popular mid-season variety. Berries are long, uniform, medium 

 size and good quality, enormously productive. 



Kansas — One of the best late kinds. Very productive, of medium to large size, crim- 

 berries. A great drought resister and sure cropper of excellent quality. 



Nick Ohmer — A grand Western variety; makes large, strong healthy plants and is a 

 tremendous bearer. Fruit of very largest size — a giant among Strawberries. Dark 

 glossy red, fine regular form and excellent flavor. 



Sample — Originated in Massachusetts, where it has borne by careful estimate at the rate 

 of 500 bushels per acre. The fruit is very large, regular roundish form, uniform in size 

 and shape and superb quality; it covers all over at once and continues in bearing a long 

 time. Undoubtedly one of the largest and most productive late varieties.
