Strawberry Plants 



CHESAPEAKE — One of the very best mid-season to late varieties. 



Description of Varieties 



AMANDA. One of the very best large-fruiting 

 varieties grown ; the plants are vigorous, healthy, 

 large and upright in growth ; blossoms are perfect. 

 Growers wishing an extra-large, good-quality berry 

 should plant some Amanda. It is also a very heavy 

 fruiter and a berry that should bring top prices on 

 any market which appreciates large, fancy fruit. 



AROMA. One of the best late varieties. Plants are 

 large, very vigorous and healthy ; fruit large to very 

 large, roundish, of a bright glossy red, of excellent 

 quality and one of the most productive late varieties. 

 Can always be depended on to bear a good crop of 

 fine berries. 



BEDERWOOD. A good early variety for home use 

 or market. It is a splendid grower, making a large 

 number of strong runners. It has a perfect blossom 

 and immensely prolific. Fruit of good size, light red, 

 medium firm, and good quality. 



BUBACH. Its large and uniform size, fine form 

 and color, unsurpassed productiveness and great vigor 

 combine to make it one of the leading market sorts. 



BRANDYWINE. A vigorous, perfect-blooming 

 plant ; tall fruit-stalks ; broad, heavy dark green fol- 

 iage. Plants productive, having four and five stalks 

 heavily loaded with large to very large berries. 

 Medium red, somewhat like Gandy, only a little more 

 dull ; large yellow seeds on surface Flesh red clear 

 through, firm, somewhat acid, but with sprightly 

 flavor ; ripens medium to quite late. Does best on 

 heavy loam or heavy clay. 



BIG VALLEY. If you have a local market that 

 demands something extra large and fancy this will 

 fill the bill. A mid-season variety producing berries 

 of the most excellent flavor, not too acid, but just a 

 mild, sweet flavor. Very productive. Try it. 



CHESAPEAKE. Undoubtedly the most popular 

 berry gi-own today and deservedly so. I have never 

 seen a more perfect berry ; the berries are extra large 

 and hold up well to the last picking ; very firm, and 

 I do not know of a better shipper, carrying to the 

 distant markets in perfect condition ; flavor unex- 

 celled ; a heavy cropper and makes just enough plants 

 for a good fruiting bed, the plants are large and 

 healthy. If I had to confine myself to just one 

 variety of strawberries as a profit-maker I would un- 

 hesitatingly choose Chesapeake. The price of Chesa- 

 peake plants will never be so low as most other varie- 

 ties on account of it making just enough plants for 

 a good fruiting bed and it pays !?ro\. ers much more 

 profit to pick the berries than it does to sell th« 

 plants. I only have a limited stock of these thiw 

 season as they did not make more than one-half as 

 many plants as they usually do and I have had to 

 increase my prices for them, but even at this price 

 1 believe you will find them a good buy. 



CHAMPION K. A seedling of Klondyke, which it 

 resembles but is larger in both fruit and plant. I 

 have fruited it two sieasons and the more I see of it 

 the better I like it. I consider it a real improvement 

 on the Klondyke. If you have been growing Klon- 

 dyke, try a few Champion K. and I am sure you w'll 

 like it.
