54 The Tingle Nursery Co., Pittsville, Md. 
GANDY. Forty-nine years old and still good as an extra late 
berry if given a good fertile moist soil. The berries are strictly 
fancy, large, good quality, bright red with a large green cap. A 
good keeper but not as productive as some. 
GIBSON. This is another old standard variety that has proven it- 
self many times over. A very vigorous grower and makes a 
fine fruiting bed. Produces heavily of bright red berries with a 
fancy green cap. Does not ship well but fine for local market or 
home use and excellent for preserving and canning. 
LUPTON. One would not likely grow this variety if he was cving 
to eat the fruit himself as it does not begin to have the cuality 
of some of the others but it is very attracive and shows up so 
well when it arrives on the market that it most always brings the 
top prices and that is what the commercial grower is interested 
in. Good grower, late, attractive and sells well. 
PREMIER. For a good many years this has been the best plant 
seller of them all, hence, has been a profitable one for the berry 
grower. Early, almost frost proof, always producing good crops, 
attractive, good grower, productive, medium to large berries, and 
if not too wet at picking time a good shipper but if there is a 
lack of sunshine the berries do not keep well. In some sections 
growers wiil not plant anything else for a crop of early berries. 
WM. BELT. This is one of the best flavored of the old standard 
varieties. The berries are irregular in shape, fairly large, bright 
glossy red with a bright green cap. Wm. Belt is desirable for 
home garden and local market as it is preeminently a quality 
berry. Midseason io late. 
WYONA. This is the berry that will extend your season a week 
after Chesapeake and Gandy are through. Berries are large, 
bright red, firm and good shippers. Good grower and productive. 
For an extra late berry we recommend this one. 
THE EVERBEARING VARIETIES. There should always be some of 
these varieties planted in the home garden. They will start 
fruiting 90 days after the plants are set and produce all through 
the summer and fall till there is a heavy frost. Any family that 
enjoys cGelicious strawberries (and we believe most everyone 
does) should not be without at least one of the everbearing va- 
rieties. Just think, you can have delicious strawberry shortcake, 
strawberries and cream and all the other strawberry desserts 
all through the summer and fall, with very little expense, for if 
given proper care each plant will often produce a quart or more 
of delicious berries during their long fruiting season. You can 
have plenty for your own use and then sell enough to pay your 
expenses from just a small patch. Your neighbors will be glad 
to buy them at good prices. Mastodon is recognized as being 
the best for commercial purposes as well as for home use. 
Champion or Progressive is the old standard one and probably 
the best flavored, not having as much acid they can be eaten 
by those who find the other varieties have tvo much acid for 
them. Gem is a newer one and is steadily coming to the 
front. Maybe not any better than Mastodon but some say it is. 
Lucky Strike is preferred by some and we find it the most spicy 
flavored of them all. Wayzata is a new one of very excellent 
flavor but it seems almost impossible to get them to make run- 
ners and new plants. After getting the plants you can get large 
quantities of berries as they naturally grow in the “hill system.” 
They are all good and from the above you may be able to de- 
cide the one that will be the best for you to grow. You should 
try them at least. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Splendid for home-garden and market. The plants are easy 
to grow and a bed when once established will thrive for many 
years. As a field crop, Asparagus is very profitable, and there is 
always a good demand for it. Any good garden soil will give 
excellent crops, but it should be manured freely. 
MARY WASHINGTON. This is generally recognized by the leading 
growers as being the best variety of Asparagus grown. It starts 
earlier, produces more and larger stalks of extra guality than 
any other variety; is highly rust resistant and has proven by 
test to be best for home or commercial plantings. 1 yr. plants 
25 for 40c, 100 for $1.00, 1000 for $5.50; 2 yr. plants 25 for 65c, 
100 for $1.50, 1000 for $9.00.
