Varieties of Strawberries 



Aroma. One of the best late varieties. Plants are large and 

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

 red of excellent quality and one of the most productive late berries. 



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. 



Bubach. Large size and handsome color are its most valuable 

 characteristics. Color is a beautiful bright red, neither dark nor light. 

 Foliage dark and waxy. Berries thick, meaty, fine grained, often 

 weighing more than an ounce each. 



Campbell's Early. This is a new extra-early variety of great 

 promise. In New Jersey, where it originated, the growers are very 

 enthusiastic over it. One leading grower says: "CampbeiPs Early 

 comes in ahead of them all, growing from such large, healthy plants 

 with a light green, waxy, upright foliage protecting the great crop of 

 large, beautiful, rich red berries. They have a beautiful green calyx 

 and come second to none in flavor." 



Brandywine. Produces an abundance of large, handsome berries; 

 good color and shape; peculiar and very fine flavor. 



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 makes it one of the best drought re- 

 sisters. Berries are uniformly large, with prominent yellow seeds and 

 an attractive bright green cap. The berries are unexcelled in quality. 

 The plants set a good crop and every blossom matures a berry, the 

 last ones being just 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 altogether it is an ideal berry for home use, for local market 

 or for distant shipment. 



Dr. Burrill. A variety that is growing very popular, resembling 

 Senator Dunlap in appearance. The berries are large and beautifully 

 formed. The surface of the berry is a deep glossy red, the meat is 

 solid and rich. As a canner it surpasses Warfield. The berries are 

 excellent shippers and good keepers. 



Fendall. One of the very good late imperfect varieties that should 

 be planted with Gibson, Big Joe, Chesapeake, etc.; is exceedingly pro- 

 ductive and extra large size bright scarlet red berries. 



Gandy. One of the universal favorites, and as a "money-maker" 

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

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

 ity. It is a splendid berry and always brings fancy prices. A free 

 plant maker and a good grower, while its extra firmness makes it keep 

 on the vines longer than almost any I know. Late. If you grow late 

 strawberries you need Gandy.
