ReWastico ^^- Al^^'^' *^he introducer says, "The color is a rich, deep, cardinal 

 red, which penetrates the berry through and through. In produc- 

 tiveness it is all that could be desired; in size it is uniformly large; in shape as 

 perfect as if turned out of a mould; in plant growth it is healthy and vigorous; in 

 quality it is rich, with aromatic strawberry flavor, though somewhat tart, but is 

 firm enough to be very popular as a market berry. I consider it the only real com- 

 petitor the Chesapeake has ever had and in some respects it even surpasses that 

 popular variety." Mr. Allen has been very brief but since fruiting it I can say 

 it is all he claims for it. It is, without exception, the most productive strawberry 

 I have ever fruited. 



Robbins' Prolific (^^'■•) introduced by introducer of the Sample who says 

 it is better and more prolific than that popular variety. 

 He describes it as follows: "It is a very strong vigorous plant with long roots. 

 Makes plenty of plants and needs plenty of room to grow. Every berry of fine 

 shape and as perfect as if run in a mould. A sweet berry; a firm, good market 

 berry. An early berry, and holds out late also a fine berry to plant on dry land. " 



man ^^^ great size and productiveness, thrifty growth and delicious 

 flavor make it one of the most valuable berries ever grown for 



Ryck 



business purposes. Many extensive growers say that it produces even larger crops 

 the second year than it does the first. It is also noted as an extremely valuable 

 variety for poor soils and for fruiting continuously on the same ground for a num- 

 ber of years. It ripens in mid-season and is a perfect flowered variety. Try it. 



Superior ^ great market variety for the commercial grower. Not excelled 

 ''^ by any for shipping and keeping as it is one of the firmest berries I 



ever saw. The plants are vigorous and healthy and succeed on any soil. It is a 

 great plant maker and should be planted a good distance apart. It sets an im- 

 mense amount of fruit and if planted on rich soil, or is well fertilized it will not 

 be surpassed by any variety in productiveness. The fruit is medium to large, 

 bright glossy red and of good quality. 



Sample ^^^ ^^ ^^® ^*^^y ^^^^ strawberries and a money making late variety. 

 ^ Sample produces a very heavy crop of nice, showy berries of large size 

 and fine quality, continues a long time in fruit the berries being large to the last. 

 It will yield as many berries as Haverland and will average as large as Bubach. 

 Colors all over at once— fruit perfect, foliage perfect. You will like Sample and 

 they will make big money for you. My block of Sample is splendid this season. 



Stevens' Late Champion (^^'"•^ A descendant of the Gandy. It ripens 



'^ late, and is similar to the Gandy in many re- 



spects; except that it yields nearly twice as many quarts of berries upon a given 

 space and the berries are not so uniform in size and shape nor so handsome. One 

 of the most prolific and profitable of the late varieties for market growing and a 

 valuable sort for the home garden. 



Success (^^'■•) One of the finest early varieties for the home garden. Berries 

 round or slightly elongated, bright scarlet or flame color, quite large 

 an J very uniform in size, color and shape. Plants are vigorous, healthy and most 

 prolific. Though the berries are not firm enough to endure long shipment, it is 

 one of the most profitable strawberries for local market and very desirable for 

 the home garden. 



Staples ^" some of its characteristics the Staples resembles the old and popu- 

 ^ lar Warfield, but has the added advantage of being a perfect flowered 



variety. It is of perfect-strawberry form, ranging from rich crimson to deep 

 wine in color. Staples has what we may call the true strawberry flavor and is de- 

 liciousiy tart. Introduced four years ago and has become very popular.
