Robbins' Prolific Introduced by introducer of the Sample who says it is 

 better and more prolific than that popular variety. He 

 describes it as follows: "It is a very strong vigorous plant with long roots. 

 Makes plenty of plants and needs plenty of room to grow. Every berry of fine 

 shape and as perfect as if run in a mould. A sweet beryr; a firm good market 

 berry. An early berry, and holds out late also a fine berry to plant on dry 

 land." 



Rvckman *ts Ste&t size and productiveness, thrifty growth and delicious 

 flavor makes it one of the most valuable berries ever grown for 

 business purposes. Many extensive growers say that it produces even larger 

 crops the second year than it does the first. It is also noted as an extremely 

 valuable variety for poor soils and for fruiting continuously on the same 

 ground for several years . It ripens in mid-season and is a perfect flowered 

 variety. You will make no mistake in planting this variety. 



Superior A & rea t market variety for the commercial grower. Not excelled 

 ^ by any for shipping and keeping as it is one of the firmest berries 



1 ever saw. The plants are vigorous and healthy and succedd on any soil. It 

 is a great plant maker and should be planted a good distance apart. It sets an 

 'immense amount of fruit and if planted on rich soil, or is well fertilized it will 

 not be surpassed by any variety in productiveness. The fruit is medium to 

 large, bright glossy red and of good quality. 



Sample ^ ne °*- the verv Des t strawberries and a money making late variety. 

 Sample produces a very heavy crop of nice, showy berries of large 

 size and fine quality, continues a long time in fruit the berries being large to 

 the last. It will yield as many berries as Haverland and will average as large 

 as Bubach. Colors all over at once — fruit perfect, foliage perfect. You will 

 like Sample and they will make big money for you. 



Stevens' Late Champion A descendent of the Gandy. It ripens late, 



and is similar to the Gandy in many respects; 

 except that it yields nearly twice as many quarts of berries upon a given space 

 and the berries are not so uniform in size and shape nor so handsome. One 

 of the most prolific and profitable of the late varieties for market growing and 

 a valuable sort for the home garden. 



Success O ne °f tne fi nes t early varieties for the home garden. Berries 

 round or slightly elongated, bright scarlet or flame color, quite 

 large and very uniform in size, color and shape. Plants are vigorous, healthy 

 and most prolific. Though the berries are not firm enough to endure long ship- 

 ment, it is one of the most profitable strawberries for local market and very 

 desirable for the home garden. 



Staples In some °f its characteristics the Staples resembles the old and 

 ^ popular Warfield, but has the added advantage of being a perfect 

 flowered variety. It is of perfect-strawberry form, ranging from rich crimson 

 to deep wine in color. Staples has what we may call the true strawberry 

 flavor and is deliciously tart. 



Senator Dunlap Tne Dunlap is a variety that beginners who know practi- 

 cally nothing about strawberries can succeed with. The 

 foliage is tall, upright with a long leaf, and has more than the ordinary power 

 of developing a heavy crown system. It has an extra long flowering season; 

 the bloom is handsome and exceedingly rich in pollen, which makes it very 

 valuable to plant with such pistillate kinds as ripen in its season. Its long 

 roots go down into the sub-soil for moisture, and a severe drouth has less effect 

 on it than most others. The fruit is a dark red, with a glossy finish, shading 

 to a dark scarlet on the under side, with prominent yellow seeds that look like 

 gold embedded in highly colored wax. The meat is bright red all through and
