McKillleV ( Per -) Unrivalled as a strawberry of high quality. Berries 

 J large, handsome and freely produced on strong growing, heal- 

 thy plants. Ripens in mid-season and is too tender in texture to endure ship- 

 ment. It is pre-eminently a variety for the home garden. 



Nick OllHier A P er f e ct giant among strawberries, roundish-conical in form, 

 uniform and regular; rich glossy crimson, firm and solid, ex- 

 cellent in quality and average large to the very last picking. The plant is ex- 

 ceedindly vigorous with clean, healthy foliage without the slightest tendency 

 to rust. Last season I thought I would surely have enough plants of this vari- 

 ety to supply my trade but after I had nearly sold out I had an inquiry for 

 500,000 from one party. I have an exceptionally nice stock this season and 

 will be glad to have your order. 



Norwood Introduced in 1908 at $10 per dozen and every year since the de- 

 mand has been greater than the supply.' Norwood is similar to 

 Marshall in many ways but is a better grower and more productive and reli- 

 able. The fruit is large and handsome, regular in form and equally as fine in 

 flavor as Marshall. The season of ripening is the same as Marshall, mid- 

 season. 



New Orefi'On Extra large, firm and of fine form, a brilliant, rich red hav- 

 s ing a glossy varnished appearance. When full ripe has a 



distinctive flavor suggestive of the wild strawberry, is crisp and delicious, and 

 will remain on the vine several days without injury, keeping perfectly for 

 many days after picking; stands handling and long distance shipping and will 

 hold its color, shape and flavor when canned. Is dark blood red to the very 

 center and no matter how large it gets it is never hollow. It is a healthy vig- 

 orous grower with luxuriant foliage. The above is a part of the introducer's 

 description. I received my plants from California last season and have not 

 yet fruited it. The plants have made a nice growth with me. 



Ohio Boy Tne Plants are vigorous, very productive, fruit large, dark red 

 and a good shipper. It begins to ripen with the late mid-season 

 varieties and continues in bearing until the late varieties are gone. 



Orem Begins to ripen with Gandy and bears an abundance of berries after 

 Gandy is gone, and about three times as many. The berries are ex- 

 ceedingly large and smooth light red with yellow seeds and dark green caps, 

 which make them very attractive. 



Pride Of Somerset introducer says: "It is as early as Excelsior, good 

 plant maker of large, healthy, deep rooted plants. 

 Very productive of large berries. A great feature about this wonderful vari- 

 ety is that there are very few small berries as every blossom matures a large 

 berry, nearly all one size. Color a beautiful red all through, ripens all over at 

 once, no green tips; shape medium long and round; blossom perfect and rich 

 in pollen; cap very large and green which shows off the berry nicely; very 

 firm, good shipper. The flavor is unexcelled, extra good for a family berry. 

 Has never shown any sign of rust or disease; foliage very heavy, tall and 

 thick." 



PoCOmoke This variety was found where there had been some Wilson and 

 Sharpless strawberries dumped, and is supposed to be a seed- 

 ling of the old Wilson crossed by the Sharpless. The berry is round and re- 

 sembles the Wilson, but is much larger. One of the best varieties in exist- 

 ence, not only for its enormous productiveness, but on account of its beauty, 

 adaptability to all soils, its foliage enduring the dry, hot weather, its large 

 size, its deep color, its firmness and high flavor. The plant is a strong, robust 

 grower, with deep roots and lots of them, perfect blossoms, and is an enor- 

 mous yielder of large red berries. It ripens evenly, and is one of the best 

 shippers yet introduced. This variety is a good one, and is grown as one of 

 the leading market berries. Try a few thousand. You will not be sorry. We 

 guarantee it to please you.
