Doman Or Uncle Jim A western strawberry that is attracting much 



attention for its superior merits. Plants unusually 

 robust with large healthy foliage. It is a remarkable drought resister and a 

 big and reliable producer of extra large berries — very uniformly heart shaped 

 — of a bright red color and of high quality. It is claimed by the introducer 

 that the fruit brings 25 per cent more in the Chicago market than any other 

 variety, on account of the large size, handsome appearance and fine quality 

 of the berries, 12 selected berries often filling a quart measure heaping full. 



Doris Claimed to be the most profitable strawberry for market ever grown, 

 having most of all the desirable qualities of a late market or home 

 use berry. I find it very similar to Mascot. 



Edmund Wilson A unique variety. On good soil the plants attain a 

 height of twelve to fifteen inches with a spread of fully 

 a foot, and are enormously prolific. The berries are very large, globular or 

 bluntly heart shape, of deep maroon color with smooth surface and quite firm. 

 Perhaps the richest in sugary lusciousness of all. Ripens in midseason. 



Ettersburg" No. 80. Ver y productive of fine, red berries that are of large 

 "size and have a large clean cut green calyx or hull. 

 The blossoms are very large and the runners very strong. The plant is extra 

 vigorous and deep rooting and the foliage leathery. In the fall of the year the 

 foliage is of a bluish cast. The fresh fruit is of fine dessert quality, and for 

 flavor as a canned berry it is the very best, a deliciousness found in no other 

 variety. It is red and red to the center, and will not break up in processing. 



Ettersburg" No. 112. A ver ^ lar £ e berry having a deep glossy appearance, 

 and borne in very large trusses. It has a peculiar 

 high quality in flavor that is found only among hybrids of Chiloensis blood. A 

 good dessert berry. 



Early Jersey Giant (Per.) Ripens with the very earliest. Berries very 

 J 3 large, brilliant scarlet-crimson, conical with pointed 



tip, colors all over at once, has delightful and rich mild wild Strawberry flavor. 

 Large light green calyx or "cap" hence exceedingly showy and attractive. 

 Blossoms large, perfect, rather late, thereby missing the late frosts. Plant is 

 a strong grower with large leaves on long pliant stems and a heavy yielder. 



Early Ozark Very productive, will outyield most of the early varieties, 

 ^ berries are large, and bring top prices. They ripen about 



three days later than Excelsior, and a day or two earlier than Klondyke. 

 Plants are strong rooted, large and of good dark green foliage. 



Excelsior ^n °^ variety which leads them all for earliness. They ripen 

 from three to four days ahead of the leading early varieties. 

 Makes plants freely, berry is of dark red color, of good size for such an early 

 berry, and will ship well, being very firm; a great yielder and considered the 

 sourest of them all. 



Early Market Strong grower, berries larger than Excelsior and more pro- 

 J " ductive. If given half a chance will take care of itself and 



give good results. Berries are good shippers. 



Ewell's Early A very " early berry, dark red, of good quality, good shipper 

 J and very productive; rank foliage. If you are after an early 

 berry, try this one. 



Fendall ^ large berry of fine flavor, very beautiful, rich in color, smooth 

 and glossy, with long stems and large caps. A strong growing 

 plant, with healthy light green foliage. The plants and fruit will command 

 attention wherever seen. Be sure and include the Fendall in your list, if you 

 want large fancy berries and lots of them. Mid-season to very late.
