JOE JOHXSOX — One of the Best Berries Grown 



Joe Johnson (Big Joe) If ^ ou want a "Money-Maker" plant this vari- 

 ° ' ety. The more I see of it the better I like it 



and this seems to be the verdict of everyone. Pittsville is one of the largest 

 strawberry shipping stations in the country and the Joe Johnson brought the 

 highest price of any berry on our market. It ripens just a little before the 

 Chesapeake, just when the berry buyers are wanting something fancy, and that 

 is what they get when they buy the Joe Johnson. It is a beautiful red berry 

 with a bright green calyx or cap, which adds much to its beauty and market 

 value. Flavor is of the best, a perfect table and canning strawberry, and a 

 superior shipper. It seems almost impossible for a bed of plants to produce 

 such a quantity of extra large, perfect shaped berries as the Joe Johnson will 

 do. It thrives in soils of every class that will grow strawberries of any kind. 

 If you have not already tried this wonderful variety I want you to do so this 

 season. The demand for plants is going to be great; I have already booked 

 some large orders for them. 



James E. 



pleased with it. 



A good, large-fruiting berry, medium early. Bears an enormous 

 crop of large, attractive berries of fine quality. I am much 



Jopp's Favorite 



A new variety introduced last year. The berries are 

 very large and fancy of good quality, color bright glossy 

 red, red to the center and very firm. The plants large with tall, broad, bright 

 green waxy foliage without a spot of disease. Brings top prices on the market. 



Jessie Jessie ranks among the leaders with growers who want fancy straw 

 berries and whose soil is adapted to its production. Under right 

 conditions it is one of the most satisfactory varieties produced by commercial 

 growers. It is an extra heavy yielder of highest quality fruit and a good 

 pollenizer. 



Jerome Growing rapidly in favor here in the east, also becoming universally 

 popular in the Rocky Mountain regions. The berries of this variety 

 are bright red, rich in flavor, and are splendid shippers. Jerome is also a 

 strong pollenizer of pistillate varieties, and these numerous and important 

 qualities promise to make it quite generally grown in these sections.
