GANDY — One of the oldest and best very late berries on my list. 



GANDY. One of the universal favorites, and as 

 a "money-maker" hard to beat. A good grower w^ith 

 tall healthy foliage, and produces large, dark crim- 

 son berries, that w^hen fully ripe, are of excellent 

 quality. It is a splendid berry 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 I know. Lafce. If 

 you grow late strawberries you need Gandy. 



/ HUSTLER. It is a vigorous grower, making a f«w 

 large, strong plants rather than many small ones. 

 The fruit averages large in size, is quite uniform, 

 and firm enough to ship to a distant market. The 

 berries are a rich scarlet in color, most excellent in 

 quality and altogether one of the handsomest berries 

 that I know. The blossoms are imperfect. With its 

 big green cap, it is a variety that attracts the atten- 

 tion of buyers and nearly always sells at a premium. 



HOWARD No. 17. A new variety from Connecti- 

 cut. Described by a reliable Connecticut grcwer as 

 follows: "The earliest fancy variety that I have ever 

 seen. The first fruit to ripen is fully as large as 

 Chesapeake, fully as firm and the quality fully as 

 good. It is of the same cone shape and the color 

 much the same, possibly not quite so dark but glossy 

 and handsome. Will yield three times as much fruit 

 as Chesapeake and is on the job a week before Chesa- 

 peake begins to ripen. So great is my faith in this 

 variety that more than one-half of all I set the com- 

 ing spring will be Howard No. 17. This variety has 

 come in competition with hundreds of competitors on 

 the grounds of the Connecticut Agricultural College 

 and vanquished them all, not only for one or two 

 years, mind you, but for ten years." 



HUNDRED DOLLAR. A very valuable and mid- 

 season variety. The introducer's claim that "there is 

 not another variety of strawberry that will outyield 

 this giant or surpass it in quality" has to a large 

 degree been fulfilled. The plant is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, and among the most prolific. The berries 

 average very large indeed, the color is bright scarlet 

 and the quality mild, sweet and luscious. It is not 

 very firm — not firm enough for long shipment. There 

 are indeed few varieties more valuable for nearby 

 markets or for the home garden. 



y HAVERLAND. Exceedingly productive. Fruit 

 large and fine. One of the most popular of the well- 

 tested varieties. It will stand more frost than most 

 any other variety, often bearing large crops when 

 others are killed. We can always depend on a large 

 crop. Few varieties will produce more fruit per acre 

 or sell for more money. The demand for plants is 

 always great. ^ 



JOE JOHNSOhT^BIG JOE). This is one of the 

 best berries on the list. Above medium in size, 

 .-_-.ost perfect in shape, very solid, bright red in color, 

 and a good heavy bearer for so large a berry. The 

 fruit is borne on long stiff stems, well up from the 

 ground. Plants are very large and deep-rooted. 

 Strong grower, dark green in color. A bed of Joe 

 Johnson in fruit is about as handsome a sight as 

 one often sees and it is a money-maker for both 

 nearby and distant markets. Don't fail to plant 

 , Joe Johnson. 



i KELLOGG'S PRIZE. A pistillate variety with a 

 vei'y long fruiting season. It thrives in soils of every 

 class, and yields immense quantities of large, perfectly 

 formed berries, highly colored from center to circum- 

 ference, its golden seeds lending a gloss to the sur- 

 face of surpassing brilliancy and beauty. There is no 

 other berry having a flavor of greater delicacy. Foli- 

 age large and healthy ; calyx large and green. One 

 of the heaviest fruiters I have ever grown, and I 

 recommend them to you fgr trial. 



KELLOGG'S DIG LATE. The introducer says of 

 Big Late — It has been thoroughly tested for three 

 years and each year it has outyielded all of the old 

 standard late varieties. When it comes to quality 

 and flavor, its berries are in every way superior to 

 the berries of any other variety with which we are 

 acquainted The originator says that the berries are 

 so fii-m that they carry to remotely distant parts 

 nnd arrive in prime condition. It is a strong, vigor- 

 ous-growing pistillate with large healthy leaves, and 

 i^ roots very deeply. The berries are produced in 

 clusters on long fruiting stalks. The color of the 

 berries is a deep scarlet, seeds bright yellow, calyx 

 bright green, and fruit stems are large, making a 

 fombination which attracts the attention of the buyer, 

 no matter how many other berries are offered in 

 competition.
