Strawberry Plants 



AROMA. One of the best medium late varieties. Plants are 

 very vigorous; fruit is large to very large, roundish, of a bright glossy 

 red of excellent quality and very productive. 



BIG JOE. This is one of the best berries on the list. Above me- 

 dium in size, almost perfect in shape, very solid, bright red 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, 



CAMPBELL'S EARLY. The earliest variety on my list. Plants 

 healthy with a light green, waxy upright foliage. Berries beautiful, 

 rich red, of large size which ripen perfect all over with no green ends. 

 A very good variety to plant for table use and local markets. No 

 garden should be without them. 



BRANDYWINE. Produces an abundance of large, handsome 

 berries; good color and shape; peculiar and fine flavor. Needs a good 

 rich soil to mature the heavy crop it will produce. 



CHESAPEAKE. The standard of excellence by which most other 

 fancy berries are compared. The plants are very strong and robust 

 and have very long roots, which make it one of the best drought re- 

 sisters. Berries are uniformly lar^G, with prominent yellow seeds and 

 an attractive bright green cap and unexcelled in quality. The plants 

 set a good crop and every blossom matures a berry, the last ones being 

 nearly as large as the first. The flesh is very firm in texture and the 

 berries will keep for many days in excellent condition, so that taken 

 altogether it is an ideal berry for home use, for local market or for 

 distant shipment. Premier and Chesapeake are our two best money- 

 making berries in this section, which is one of the largest strawberry 

 shipping points in the country. 



DR. BURRILL. Similar to Senator Dunlap. Excellent for can- 

 ning and very delicious to eat on the table. The blossoms are perfect 

 and its long blooming season makes it good for planting with imper- 

 fect varieties. A good plant maker. Midseason. 



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

 hard to beat. A good grower with tall, healthy foliage, and produces 

 large, dark crimson berries that, when fully ripe, are of excellent quali- 

 ty. It is a splendid berry and always brings fancy prices. A good 

 grower, but does best in a well-drained black loam soil. If you grow 

 late strawberries you need Gandy. 



GIBSON. Berries are large and regular in shape, color rich red. 

 Flavor is neither sweet nor sour, but just right for canning. Very 

 productive. I find it identical in both fruit and growth with Parsons, 

 Beauty. The Western growers call it Gibson while the eastern grow-.
