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

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

 of some of the 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 

 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 

 4 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. 



SENATOR DUNLAP. Most everybody knows this grand old straw- 

 berry. Is still widely planted in central states. Always bear. 

 The bright red berries have a most delicious flavor. 



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 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 

 them. Magic Gem is a newer one and is steadily coming to the 

 front. Maybe not any better than Mastodon but some say it is. 

 They are all good and from the above you may be able to decide 

 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 wiii give 

 excellent crops, bu* 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 quality than 

 any other variety; is highly rust resistant and has proven by 

 test to be best for home or commercial plantings. 1 yr. plants
