LADY CORNEILLE— The Great Southera Berry 
LADY CORNEILLE--Better than the Klondyke 
This wonderful new strawberry originated in Louisiana and is destined to become 
the leading Southera Strawberry, as it is better than the Klondyke, whichis saying 
a great deal, but its merits will prove it. The Klondyke for a long time has been 
the leading Southern berry but as soon as the growers become acquainted with the 
Lady Corneille they are going to plant it as it is much more productive than the 
Kiendyke and the berry and plant is idealinevery way. Theplantissimply a beauty 
with glossy, rich green leaves, one of the best drought resisters grown and thrives 
in both clay and loamy soil, makes runners freely. The fruit ripens same time as 
the Klondyke but continues in bearing longer. The berries are supported on heavy, 
stocky fruit stems and everyone matures a perfect berry. The blossoms are richin 
pollen, calyx large and heavy and remains green, giving a beautiful appearance to 
the fruit. Berries large, rich giossy red, slightly lony, uniform in size and shape, 
with bright golden seeds which add to their beauty. Quality of the best, having the 
true strawbervy flavor, rich, sweet and delicious. The berries are very firm and one 
of the best shippers known. This one quality alone will make it very valuable for 
the grower a long distance from market. Last season on the Chicago market it 
sold for 25c to $1.00 per 24 pint crate more than any other berry. Never before 
have so many good qualities been combined in one variety of the strawberry. The 
Lady Corneille has the size, color, shape, appearance, firmness and productiveness 
which we all have been wanting in an early berry. I am so favorably impressed 
with this new berry that I expect to set a large patch of them next spring exclu- 
sively for fruit. 
MISSIONARY. 
This variety is taking its place with the Lady Thompson and Klondyke as a 
southern berry. Plant growth all] that could be desired. ‘The berries are large in 
size, beautiful color, which shine as if varnished; large double calyx; very pro- 
ductive. Its season is from four to five weeks. Very richest and best quality; 
best shipper, has a very tough skin, not easily broken by handlirg.
