KLONDYKE-The Greal Commercial Money- Maker. 



MISSIONARY. A variety that is proving very 

 popular all through the South. It is a strong grower, 

 making plants freely ; early to mature, coming in 

 right after Excelsior, and very productive. The 

 berries are well colored, fii-m, large, and hold tbeir 

 size well throughout the season. It is a good shipper, 

 having a tough skin not easily broken by handling. 



MICHAEL'S EARLY. An old favorite. For eating 

 from the vines after it is full ripe there is probably 

 nothing better. Those who have a garden or a good 

 local market for an extra early berry will find the 

 Michael's just what they want. 



McALPINE. Here is a very fancy mid-season to 

 late berry if you will not let the plants get too thick 

 in the bed. It is a very heavy fruiter and I never 

 saw more perfect berries, large and every one as near 

 alike as it is possible for a berry to be. The berries 

 bring the top prices on the markets. 



\J NEW YORK. This is the strawberry that was 

 awarded a prize of $100 which was offered for the 

 best and largest variety. The plant is an unusually 

 robust grower, making but few ininners, throwing its 

 strength and vigor into the magnificent berries, 

 which are produced in great abundance and are of 

 immense size. In form they are very handsome and 

 regular, of a roundish conical shape. Ck)lor a crim- 

 son-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. This berry is so 

 popular it has been introduced under many different 

 names. 



PITTSVILLE. A new mid-season variety begin- 

 ning to ripen about the same time as Senator Dun- 

 lap, which it resembles in some respects but is not 

 as dark a color and is very firm, making it a good 

 shipper. Will stay firm a long time after being 

 picked. Has a beautiful double green cap. Holds its 

 large size from first ripening until the last picking. 

 The plant is large and healthy ; very deep rooted, 

 making it a good one to plant in dry soils. 



McKINLEY. Unrivalled as a strawberry of hifirh 

 quality. Berries large, handsome and freely produced 

 on strong growing, healthy plants. Ripens in mid- 

 season and is too tender in texture to endure ship- 

 ment. It is pre-eminently a variety for the home 

 garden. 



PARSONS' BEAUTY. One that may be depended 

 upon to produce a large crop of fruit every season. 

 The plants are splendid growers on any soil and 

 without a sign of disease- The fruit is large, conical, 

 uniform shape, dark red and fair quality. Largely 

 planted by commercial growers on account of its vigor 

 and productiveness. 



RYCKMAN. Its great size and productiveness, 

 thrifty growth and delicious flavor makes it one of 

 the most valuable berries ever grown for business 

 purposes. Many extensive growers say that it pro- 

 duces 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 several years. It ripens in 

 mid-season and is a perfect flowered variety. 



SENATOR DUNLAP. The Dunlap is a variety 

 that beginners who know practically nothing about 

 strawberries can succeed with. The foliage is tall, 

 upright with a long leaf, and has more than the 

 ordinary power of developing a heavy crown system. 

 It has an extra long flowering season ; the bloom 

 is handsome and exceedingly rich in pollen, which 

 makes it very valuable to ' plant with such pistillate 

 kinds as ripen in its season. Its long roots go down 

 into the sub-soil for moisture, and a severe drought 

 has less effect on it than most others. The fruit is a 

 dark red, with a glossy finish, shading to a dark 

 scarlet on the under side, with prominent yellow 

 seeds that look like gold embedded in highly colored 

 wax. The meat is bright red all through and exceed- 

 ingly juicy. For a medium size, very productive, mid- 

 season berry, don't hesitate to plant Dunlap. 



WARFIELD. A well-known standard shipping and 

 canning berry. Plants very vigorous and productive. 

 Fruit large, nearly round, dark, glossy red, firm and 

 of good quality. It seems as if this old variety 

 gets better all the time.
