BRANDY WINE—A Good Berry For The South 
BRANDYWINE. A variety that thrives in almost any soil.. In season it is 
medium late. 
The berries are large, broad and heart shaped, of medium red color, 
with bright yellow seeds and firm flesh, which is red through and through. These 
points, combined with large size, productiveness and firmness of texture, make the 
Brandywine a very valuable strawberry, especially as it has a peculiarly rich, spicy 
flavor that charms all who taste it. This variety gives general satisfaction through- 
out the country. 
It originated in Pennsylvania, does well all through the North 
and Middle States, as well as being a standard and safe berry to plant in California, 
Florida, the Bermudas, and other tropical and semi-tropical countries. 
Lady Thompson. Berries medium 
in size, and very rich flavor. It is ex- 
tensively grown throughout the South, 
and is becoming very popular in the 
North also. Very productive, a thrifty 
grower, and a great drought resister.

ular berry, of medium size and good 
flavor. Its earliness and good eating 
qualities make it one of the best varie- 
ties for the home garden.

_of the best varieties for the home grow- 
er as well as the market grower.

flavor make it one of the most valuable

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. 
Myrtle. The originator in speaking 
of it says: ‘‘Largest extra early berry 
by far that I have ever seen; very firm, 
a perfect bloomer with large blossoms 
full of pollen, double cap, a great plant 
maker, rank foliage and a dark red 
berry.’’ The originator introduced this 
berry at $20.00 per thousand.

one of the best known and favorite ber- 
ries in the large markets and holds its 
own against many new comers. No mis- 
take is made in planting it extensively.

excellent quality; a grand old variety 
that always proves satisfactory.
