PREMIER — The best early berry of them alj 



BIG JOE (JOE JOHNSON). This is one of the best berries on the 

 list. Always medium in size, almost perfect in shape, very solid, bright 

 and 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 

 Big Joe 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 Big Joe. 



CHESAPEAKE. A favorite on all markets as well as the home table 

 where it has been tried. Very productive of extra large berries of the 

 finest flavor and a splendid shipper, holds up in size well to the end of 

 the season and one of the most attractive berries grown. I consider 

 this one of the best if not the best as a medium late berry on my whole 

 list. 



CAMPBELL'S EARLY. Has most of the good qualities anyone would 

 want in an early berry. Very productive of large, perfect shaped ber- 

 ries that hold up in size well until they are all gone. A good shipper and 

 brings good prices. I consider this and Kellog's Premier the two best 

 early berries on my list. 



DR. BURRILL. A delicious variety for desserts and unsurpassed for 

 canning. Fruit solid and a good shipper. Dark red and very juicy. 



EARLY OZARK. Among the very first to ripen and brings the 



grower good money on that account. Beautiful and productive, but not 

 sweet until "dead" ripe. 



GLEN MARY. Produces truly remarkable crops when planted in 

 rich ground. Berries are large, deep red, juicy, firm and of good flav- 

 or. A fine sort for canning, preserving and shipping. 



GANDY. One of the old favorites and as a money-maker hard to 

 beat bringing the top prices on all markets. Berry large, well formed ; 

 bright red, good keeper, and all that can be desired in quality. 



HOWARD No. 17. A new variety from Connecticut. Described by 

 a reliable Connecticut grower 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 Chesapeake begins to ripen. 

 So great is my faith in this ' variety that more than one-half of all I 

 set the coming 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."
