REWASTICO—A strong competitor of the Chesapeake. 
REWASTICO. 
Mr. Thomas H. Howard, who has been growing it in asmall way for several years. 
Considerable of the fruit has been shipped to Baltimore for two or three seasons, 
the berries invariably bringing a special price, and a special inquiry for more of 
This new berry originated in Wicomico county, Maryland by 
the same kind. Mr. W. F. Allen, the introducer, of whom I secured my plants, 
says: “‘I had heard of this berry two or three years before I bought it, but so 
many new varieties are offered that I did not take time to go see it until the sum- 
mer of 1912. I had no idea of the surprise in store for me. The Rewastico is a 
highly colored, large cardinal-red berry, and the color penetrates through and 
through; it is very productive, and in size is uniformly large; in shape itis as per- 
fect and uniform as if turned cut of a mould. In plant-growth it is one of the 
healthiest on the farm, making plenty: of healthy, strong plants, with an abund- 
ance of vigorous, healthy, dark green foliage; in quality it is rich, with an aromatic 
Strawberry flavor, though somewhat tart; but firm enough to be very popular as 
a market berry. I consider it the only real competitor the Chesapeake has ever 
had, and in some respects it even surpasses that exceedingly popular berry. I 
sincerely believe that those who fail to procure plants will miss a great chance to 
get started with one of the best market Strawberries ever offered to the public.’’ 
Tennessee. A favorite with many 
growers in all sections. The plants are 
good growers in any soil, very produc- 
tive, fruit large, bright glossy red, and 
of fair quality. Ripens second-early. 
A good one to plant with imperfect sorts. 
Three W’s. A Tennessee variety 
that has made many friends in all parts 
of the country, and is rapidly gaining 
popularity. And well it may, for it is 
so sweet in can be enjoyed without sugar, 
an abundant bearer of beautiful, large 
berries for a very long season—begin- 
ning about mid-season—and is remark- 
ably firm. The color is a deep crimson 
throughout. The texture is so meaty 
and the surface so strong it can be kept 
long after picked, and can be shipped a 
greater distance in good condition, than 
almost any other variety. 
Nick Ohmer. Mammoth size beau- 
tiful color and great productiveness. 
The plant is exceedingly vigorous, with 
clean healthy foliage, without the slight- 
est tendency to rust. A perfect giant 
among Strawberries—roundish - conical 
in form, uniform and regular; rich glossy 
crimson firm and solid, excellent in qual- 
ity, and average large to the very last 
picking. There seems to be a great 
shortage of these plants this season, but 
I never had a finer stock. 
Norwood. ftrictly a fancy berry. 
The berries are of great size and very 
beautiful ani are of superb quality. 
Those who desire berries of unusual size 
and beauty, and are willing to give extra 
care necessary to produce them, will be 
much pleased with it. Unless you are 
willing to give extra care don’t get it.
