Longfellow Tlie season of this great variety is early to late, and few vari- 

 eties excel in the amount of fruit produced. The fruit is long 

 and of a perfect strawberry type. In color it is a dark red, and this color ex- 

 tends from circumference to center. In flavor it is rich, mild and sweet. It is 

 a profuse bloomer and every bloom is perfect, making it an ideal pollenizer of 

 pistillates of the early and mid-season sorts. ' 



Late Jersey Giailt (Per.) Introducer says: "The latest of all strawber- 

 ries and best late variety. It undoubtedly has blood 

 of the Gandy in it, but superior in quality; the berries larger, more brilliant 

 color and produced in greater numbers; uniform large heart shape, smooth and 

 glossy, firm and meaty. I regard it as the most beautiful strawberry I have 

 ever seen." 



Lea Makes a strong, sturdy growth without a sign of disease, has perfect 

 blossoms; texture firm, season early, very productive, ripening evenly 

 all over at once without green tips and is uniformly medium large. The orig- 

 inator says it will stand more rainy weather and keep in better condition than 

 any berry grown. 



Ladv Thompson Berries medium in size, and very rich flavor. It is ex- 

 ^ tensively grown throughout the South and is also be- 



coming very popular in the North. Very productive, a thrifty grower, and a 

 great drought register. 



Lovett Well known standard market variety. Fruit large, bright red; firm 

 and of good quality. A good grower, productive and reliable. 



Ladv Comeille This is m y third year growing this variety and it gets 

 better each season. It begins to ripen about with Klon- 

 dyke and the berries are almost twice as large as Klondyke. Last season we 

 left some of the berries on the vines to see how long they would keep, they 

 kept on the vines over a week after getting ripe and then instead of rotting 

 they just simply dried up, it is a wonderful keeper and I do not see how there 

 could be a better shipper. The berries are supported on heavy, stocky fruit 

 stems and everyone matures into a perfect berry. The blooms are rich in pol- 

 len, calyx large and heavy and remains green, giving a beautiful appearance 

 to the fruit. Berries large, rich, glossy, red, slightly long, with bright golden 

 seeds which add to their beauty. Has the true strawberry flavor, rich, sweet 

 and delicious. The Lady Corneille has the size, color, shape, appearance, pro- 

 ductiveness which goes to make a successful berry. You cannot afford not to 

 try it. 



La Bon Mr - Scliild, the introducer, says "This variety is extremely hardy 

 and drouth-resisting, retaining its fresh and upright growth when 

 other sorts droop and drop in extremely dry, hot weather. A strong, healthy 

 grower and productive of large fine fruit with a firm skin making it a good 

 shipper and its quality is good, fruiting mid-season. A variety that cannot fail 

 to interest you." 



MaSCOt A fine lar g e late variety that is giving satisfaction in all sections 

 and is bound to become popular. The plants are large and healthy, 

 making splendid beds on nearly all soils. The foliage is a dark glossy green, 

 free from rust. The fruit is fully as large as Gandy, glossy red and of fine 

 quality. It begins to ripen a few days earlier than Gandy and continues in 

 bearing until all the late varieties are gone. Does especially well in Pennsyl- 

 vania and West Virginia. 



Marshall (P er -) Too well known to need any extended description. This 

 is a berry that has been so popular in the New England market 

 for years, where the grocers are always delighted to get it on account of its 

 rich, dark red color, that it is bound to attract and please customers. It is one 

 of the richest flavored strawberries grown. It is a strictly fancy berry. Mid- 

 season.
