LEAMON G. TINGLE, PITTSVILLE, MARYLAND 7 



McAlvine ^^^ berries are a beautiful scarlet in color, very large and very 

 ^ fine in quality. Does up well in the package and brings the top of 



the market. Under date of June 9, 1913, W. 0. & H. W. Davis, commission mer- 

 chants of New York City, wrote ''We had three shipments of the McAlpine Straw- 

 berry this morning, and sold them for 23 cts. a quart wholesale. We think this 

 the finest berry that we have seen for a good many years, and the trade is carried 

 away with it. This is the third season this berry has been fruited, and we think 

 it far superior to any berry we have ever sold; it is large in size, a heavy yielder 

 and holds up in size until the very last picking." 



Missionarv "^^^^ variety is taking the lead as a southern berry. Plant growth 

 •^ all that could be desired. The berries are large in size, beautiful 

 color, which shine as if varnished; large double calyx; very productive. Its sea- 

 son is from four to five weeks. Very richest and best quality; best shipper, has a 

 very tough skin, not easily broken by handling. 



McK-inley (^^'■•) Unrivalled as a strawberry of high quality. Berries large, 

 •^ handsome and freely produced on strong growing, healthy plants. 

 Ripens in mid-season and is too tender in texture to endure shipment. It is pre- 

 eminently a variety for the home garden. 



Michel's Early ^^^ eating from the vines after it is full ripe there is prob- 



•^ ably nothing better. Those who have a garden or a good 



local market for an extra early berry will find the Michel's just what they want. 



Monroe ^ seedling of the Sample and much like Wm. Belt in flavor and color, 

 but firmer and more uniform in shape. The blossoms are perfect and 

 they continue to bloom through a long season. Makes plenty of runners. 



Myrtle ^^^ originator says: "Largest extra early berry by far that I have 

 •^ ever seen; very firm, a perfect bloomer with large blossoms full of 



pollen, double cap, a great plant maker, rank foliage and a dark red berry. 



New York ^^^^ ^^ ^^^ strawberry that was awarded a prize of $100 which was 

 oif ered for the best and largest variety. The plant is an unusually 

 robust grower, making but few runners, throwing its strength and vigor into the 

 magnificent berries, which are produced in great abundance and are of immense 

 size. In forrq they are very handsome and regular, of a rounding conical shape. 

 Color a crimson-scarlet dark, rich and inviting, coloring all over and leaving no 

 green tips. The flavor is deliciously rich and melting. For a family strawberry 

 it is one of the best, but its large size and delicate texture would possibly prevent 

 the berries from arriving in good condition in distant markets. 



Nick Ohmer Mammoth size, beautiful color and great productiveness. The 

 plant is exceedingly vigorous, with clean healthy foliage, 

 without the slightest tendency to rust. A perfect giant among strawberries, 

 roundish-conical in form, uniform and regular; rich glossy crimson, firm and solid, 

 excellent in quality and avera<^e large to the very last picking. Last season I had 

 the largest stock of plants I ever had but before the season was half over I had 

 booked orders for my entire stock. This season I have several hundred thousand. 



Norwood Introduced in 1908 at $10.00 per dozen and every year since the de- 

 mand has been greater than the supply. Norwood is similar to 

 Marshal] in many ways but is a better grower and more productive and reliable. 

 The fruit is large and handsome, regular in form and equally as fine in flavor as 

 Marshall. The season of ripening is the same as Marshall, mid-season. 



Ohio Hoy '^^^ plants are vigorous, very productive, fruit large, dark red and 

 *^ a good shipper. It begins to ripen with the late mid-season varie- 

 ties and continues in bearing until the late varieties are gone.
