LEAMON G. TINGLE, PITTSVILLE, MARYLAND 3 



Duncan ^'P^"s between Parsons' Beauty and Gandy resembling the Gandy in 

 both fruit and foliage. Berries large and a good shipper. 



Ear iV Jersey Giant (^^''•) Ripens with the very earliest. Berries very 

 '^ *^ large, brilliant scarlet-crimson, conical with pointed 



tip, colors all over at once, has delightful and rich mild wild Strawberry flavor. 

 Large light green calyx or *'cap" hence exceedingly showy and attractive. Blos- 

 soms large, pertect, open rather late, thereby missing the late frosts. Plant is a 

 strong grower with large leaves on long pliant stems and a heavy yielder. 



Early Ozark (^^'■•) ^ ^^^^ early berry that has come to stay. Very pro- 

 •^ ductive, will outyield most of the early varieties, berries are 



large, and bring top prices, Ihpy ripen about three days later than Excelsior, 

 and a day or two earlier than Klondyke. Plants are strong rooted, large and of 

 good dark green foliage. 



Excelsior ■^'^ ^^^ variety which leads them all for earliness. They ripen 

 from three to four days ahead of the leading early varieties. Makes 

 plants freely, berry is of dark red color, of good size for such an early berry, and 

 will ship well, being very firm; a great yielder and considered the sourest of them 

 all, although I am very fond of them if left on the vines until "dead" ripe. 



Ewell's Early strong grower, berries ^arper than Excelsior and more pro- 

 *^ ductive. If given half a chance will take care of itself and 

 give good results. Berries are good shippers. 



Early Market ^ have been growing this berry several years and the more I 

 *^ see of it the better I like it. It is a very early berry, dark 



red, of good quality, good shipper and very productive; rank foliage. If you are 

 after an early berry, try this one. 



Fendall U^^P-) a large berry of fine flavor, very beautiful, rich in color, 

 smooth and glossy, with long stems and large caps. A strong grow- 

 ing plant, with healthy light green foliage. The plants and fruit will command 

 attention wherever seen. Be sure and include the Fendall in your list, if you 

 want large fancy berries and lots of them. Mid-season to very late. 



First Ouality "^^^ plants are very large, strong upright growers with heal- 

 *^ thy dark green foliage. In productiveness it ranks with 

 Sample and other well known varieties and the fruit is of the largest size, uniform 

 in shape, colors well, firm enough for a commercial variety and of good quality. 



Gandy (f^^") ^^^ of the universal favorites and as a "money-maker" hard 

 "^ to beat. A good grower with tall, healthy foliage and produces large, 

 dark crimson berries, that when fully ripe, are of excellent quality. It is a splen- 

 did shipper and always brings fancy prices. A free plant maker and a good 

 grower while its extra firmness makes it keep on the vines longer than almost 

 any kind I know. Late. 



Glen Mary ^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^ the most popular of the standard varieties, especially 

 *^ through New England, the Middle West and Northwest. Makes 

 large, healthy plants, with dark green foliage; blossoms are semi-staminate but 

 carry enough pollen to fruit its own berries. As a good, firm shipper, it is very 

 popular for fancy loc^l market and for long distance shipment; for this reason it 

 is very popular with both large and small growers. The fruit is big, dark red, 

 with prominent bright yellow seeds; the meat is rich and juicy, of such high flavor 

 that once tasted more is wanted. It is capable of enduri ^g more than an ordinary 

 term of dry weather through the fact that it is a deep rooted variety, and makes 

 responsible the dark green color of its foliage. -
