Missionary. It has a very vigorous 

 •^ plant, healthy, medium 

 large, with berries large, holding their 

 size well through the season. It is an 

 early berry, about the same season as 

 the Klondyke. It is very productive, 

 firm and a good shipper, and is becoming 

 quite a popular market berry with grow- 

 ers here on this Peninsula. 



Norwood Strictly a fancy variety. 

 The berries are of great size and very 

 beautiful and are of superb quahty, but 

 they can be produced only by high and 

 thorough culture. Those who desire 

 berries of unusual size and beauty and 

 are willing to give the extra care nec- 

 essary to produce them, will be much 

 pleased with it— others will not. 



Nick Ohmer Mammoth size, beauti- 

 ful color and great productiveness. The 

 plant is exceedingly vigorous, with clean 

 healthy foliage, without the slightest 

 tendency to rust. A perfect giant among 

 strawberries— roundish-conical in form, 

 uniform and regular; rich glossy crimson 

 firm and solid, excellent in quality, and 

 average large to the very last picking. 



New York, The NewYork produces 

 exceptionally beautiful 

 berries. It belongs to the order of 

 plants which produce strictly fancy fruit 

 and when grown for large city markets 

 never fails to command the very high- 

 est prices. The berry is bnght blood- 

 red with shiny surface, and has seeds 

 of nearly the same color which are so 

 deeply imbedded as to be almost invisi- 

 ble. The flavor of the fruit is delicately 

 mild, and the meat is of smooth texture. 

 It is a prolific yielder and has a very 

 long ripening season. Last season I 

 never had near enough of these plants 

 to supply my trade. 



Orem Introduced by M. Crawford Co. 

 of Ohio, but was originated in Maryland. 

 The Orem is a vigorous grower and has 

 fine foliage to protect the beautiful 

 berries from the hot sun. It begins to 

 ripen with the Gandy and bears an 

 abundance of fine berries after Gandy 

 is gone, and bears about three times as 

 many as Gandy. The berries are ex- 

 ceedingly large and smooth light red, 

 with yellow seeds and dark green caps 

 which make them very attractive. Being 

 very firm they can be left on the vines 

 two or three days after they are ripe 

 and still be in good shape for market. 



Ohio Boy I have not fruited this 

 but from reports from all sections it is 

 a good berry. The plants made an ex- 

 cellent growth with me this season. 

 Originated in Ohio and Mr. Eppert, the 

 originator says; '*It is a great berry, 

 made up of the qualities of the very best 

 berries in existence; perfect blossoms, 

 fruit a rich dark red, fine flavor, strong 

 aroma, fine for canning, uniform in size, 

 having very few cockscombs or flat ber- 

 ries. Time of ripening begins with the 

 medium and lasts as late as the latest. 

 A good shipper, standing up well in the 

 crate, holding over in the patch without 

 loss in case of delay in picking." 



Parsons Beauty. ^ ^^o^ Wealthy 



'^ grower and im- 

 mense cropper of large solid berries of 

 good form, color and quality. There is 

 probably not a variety among the stand- 

 ards that will outyield it, or a more re- 

 liable. A first class variety with a long 

 season. Begins to ripen with Tennessee 

 and extends its season into Gandy. It 

 is dark brilliant in color, flesh dark red. 

 Originated in the noted strawberry sec- 

 tion of Maryland, near here. It has been 

 extensively planted and is still in great 

 demand. The plant in its growth re- 

 sembles Bubach and will make twice as 

 many plants to the acre. It is a strong 

 perfect bloomer and a splendid variety 

 to plant with imperfect sorts. 



Rewastico TheRewastico berries are 

 a rich, deep, cardinal red, which pene- 

 trates the berries through and through. 

 In productiveness, it is all that could be 

 desired; in size it is uniformly large; in 

 shape as perfect and uniform as if turned 

 out of a mould. In plant growth it is 

 healthy and vigorous. Mr. W. F. Allen, 

 the introducer, says he considers it the 

 only real competitor the Chesapeake has 

 eveV had and in some respects it even 

 surpasses that popular variety. 



Ryckman Its great size and product- 

 iveness, thrifty growth and delicious 

 flavor make it one of the most valuable 

 berries ever grown for business purposes 

 Many extensive growers say that it pro- 

 duces 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 is perfect flowering and mid-season. 

 I secured my plants from the introducer, 

 last spring. I have not fruited it yet.
