LUPTON— A Real Money-Maker 



PREMIER. This is undoubtedly the best early berry of them 

 all and the Premier is a money-malcer for the market grower. 

 Growers who have tried all the leading sorts for the past 

 twenty or more years claim they have never fruited a berry that 

 mil come anywhere near making the money that Premier does. 

 It does not seem to have any weak points. The plants are 

 strong, vigorous growers, very productive of beautiful glossy, 

 rich red berries with a bright green cap, which adds much to 

 their beauty. The berries are delicious in quality, and it is one 

 of the best shipping berries. "Whether you want a berry for your 

 home table, local market or for long distance shipping you can- 

 aot afford to overlook Premier. It begins ripening with the 

 early sorts and lasts until most of the mid-season sorts are 

 through. There is an awful demand among the growers in the 

 big shipping sections for Premier as it was by far the best 

 money-maker of them all last season. Reports come in from all 

 sections of the country saying it can't be beat. 



LUPTON. One of the largest and most handsome berries that 

 [ have ever seen. On the large markets it always brings the top 

 notch price on account of its large size, handsome appearance 

 and well keeping qualities. The plant is a vigorous grower and 

 produces strong, healthy plants with clean foliage. Very pro- 

 ductive, and the berries are uniformly large, bright red in color, 

 with a large green cap which adds much to their appearance. 

 It is a money-maker for the above reasons but do not set it for 

 your home table alone as it is of very poor eating quality, but 

 for distant markets it is hard to beat as a mid-season to late 

 variety. 



MAGIC GEM. A mid-season to late variety originated by 

 Edward Vance of Idaho. Because of the unusually large size and 

 high quality of the berries and its long fruiting season, Mr. 

 Vance has controlled the strawberry trade in his local market. 

 The berMes are not only large and abundant but they also are 

 beautifully formed and are distinctly cone-shaped. The berries 

 are highly colored, being dark red with a glossy surface, and 

 bright yellow seeds which are imbedded in the surface just deep 

 enough to produce a beautiful contrast. The flavor of the fruit 

 is mild and delicious. The calyx is a dark, rich green, which 

 adds to the beauty of the berry. The berries are very firm and 

 ship exceedingly well. 



MARSHALL. Too well known to need any extended descrip- 

 tion. This is a berry that has been so popular in the New Eng- 

 land market for years, where the grocers are always delighted 

 to get it on account of its rich dark red color, that it is bound 

 to attract and please customers. It is one of the richest flavored 

 strawberries grown. It is a strictly fancy berry. Mid-season. 



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 pro- 

 ductive. The berries are well colored, firm, large, and hold their 

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

 tough skin not easily broken by handling. 



MITCHELL'S EARLY. An old favorite and still a favorite 

 with many.
