DESCRIPTION OF STRAWBERRIES 



AROMA. This is one oi the old reliable midsecscn to late 

 ties md extensively mar. ted in many sections. Producer, 



:: shape, light red berries with a bright green cap. 



BIG JOE. In a list of the bes: five varieties of Strawberries you -will 



I always find Big Joe. Ripens in midseason. Does well on 



all types of soil; plant very vigorous and very productive 



:: large bright red berries having a large, green cap. Big Joe 



:s a good home berry, a good shipper and a good seller. 



3LAKEMORE. A variety developed by the U. S. Department :: 



Agriculture and we have found it one of the best early berries 



well. However, it does not seem :: do as well as 



:er in some sections. A cross between Premier rr.a Mission- 



t maker; a heavy producer of bright red ix 

 ing a little ahead of Missionary; bright green caps; medium 

 tc large round to conical; firm and a good keeper and shipper. 



CHESAPEAKE. This is the finest dessert berry of the late varieties 

 md will keep better and sell at higher prices than any other 

 late berry we know of. The fruit is large and handsome and will 

 so until the end of the fruiting season. Berne; ore a rich, 

 jlossy red with bright yellow seed, have a large green caj 

 :.:e very uniform in size. Chesapeake is firm and will ecu 

 the markets in the best of condition. 



DORSETT. Another early berry developed by the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture. The berries are medium lighl in color, firm 

 and of most excellent flavor; in fact Dorsett ana re con- 



sidered the two best flavored of all the early varieties. They 

 me both good sellers bringing a premium over all other varieties 

 in me markets. l*hey are new varieties, good healthy arc 



- quality fruit, heavy producers and good sellers. For home 

 use :: market we unhesitatingly recommend the 



FAIRFAX. " Tiat we say about Dorsett also applies tc Fairfax with 



: - diff ei ence in color of the fruit, Dorsett being a lighter red 



than Fairfax; Fairfax is two or three days later than Dorsett and 



5C a little larger; equally as productive and as good grower. 



will make no mistake ir. planting either or both of these 



her you want them for home use or market. 



GANDY. Forty-seven years old and still good as an extr 



y if given a good fertile moist soil. The berries are strictly 

 fancy, laige, good quality, bright red with a large green cap. A 

 good keeper but not as productive as some. 



LUPTON. One would not likely grow this variety if he was going 

 tc eat the fruit himself as it does not begin to have the quality 

 :t Eire :: me others but it is very attractive 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 

 Good grower, late, attractive and sells well. 



PREMIER. ::: a good many years this has been the best plant 

 seller of ihem all, hence, has been a profitable one for the berry 

 nary 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 will not plant anything else for a crop of early berries. 



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. 

 E c r 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 delicious 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 too much acid for 

 tern Lucky Strike is preferred by some and we find it the most 

 spicy flavored of them all. They are all good and from the 

 above you may be able to decide the one that will be the best 

 u to grow. You should try them at least.
