Strawberry Plants, General Nursery Stock 



11 



Sample A strong plant that suc- 

 ceeds well on nearly all soils and yields 

 astonishing crops of uniformly large, 

 fine berries, pointed, conical, rich 

 scarlet, firm and of fair quality. A 

 money-maker for the market-man 

 and destined to become one of the 

 standard sorts for all sections. It is 

 being planted in immense quantities. 

 Season of ripening is from mid-sea- 

 son to late. Holds up well.

FIRST QUALITY. One of the best flavored berries I ever tasted. 



Senator Dunldp. ^ ^^^^ tested, wonderfully-productive variety, one of the 

 ^' safe sorts to plant anywhere and suie to take a high place 

 among the prominent standard sorts. Ihe foliage is tall, upright, and has more 

 than the ordinary power of developing a heavy crown-system. Its roots go down 

 into the subsoil for moisture, audit is thought that a severe drought has less efi:ect 

 on it than some others. Fruit good size, regular form, beautiful bright red, glossy, 

 firm, splendid keeper and shipper, excellent quality; one of the best for canning; 

 ripens early and continues a long time. It promises to stand at the head in its 

 ability to ripen a good crop under almost any condition of drought or neglect. 

 Superior A great market variety for Stevens Late Champicn This is a de- 



the large commercial grower, Not ex- 

 celled by any for shipping and keeping 

 as it is one of the firmest berries I ever 

 saw. The plants are vigorous and 

 healthy, with dark glossy green foliage 

 and succeed on any soil. It is a great 

 plant maker and should be kept thinned 

 or 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 truit is medium 

 to large, bright glossy red and of good 

 quality. Give it a trial. 



St. Louis Ripens about five days 

 earlier than Excelsior. Plants have a 

 very thrifty light colored foliage that 

 lies close to the ground. Berries are 

 very large, n undish conical, light in 

 color, uniform in size and of good flavor. 

 Good for home use but too soft for long 

 distance shipment. 



scendent of the Gandy, and originated 

 in New Jersey. It is a much stronger 

 grower than Gandy, and will thrive on 

 greater variety of soils. It makes 

 strong, vigorous plants, which will yield 

 heavy crops of fruit, and makes ])lenty 

 of sturdy runners which take root at 

 once. Ihe blossoms, as well as the fruit, 

 are amply protected by its heavy foliage. 

 Ihe fruit is large, long, a little flatten- 

 ed, and sometimes slightly creased but 

 generally smooth. Ihe color is bright 

 red and also the flesh. The flavor seems 

 rather acid, but is generally counted a 

 good berry. It ripens late and makes a 

 season of medium length. A very pop- 

 ular variety with many growers. 



Wolverton Strong, healthy grower; 

 sends out many runners; productive. 

 Seems to be universally successful. 

 Fruit large, resembling Bubach in form.
