STRAWBERRIES, continued 

 Chesapeake. (Per.) Late. Foliage is very dark 

 green, thick, leathery and free from disease. The me- 

 dium-sized fruits 

 are carried on un- 

 usually strong, 

 upright stems, 

 which hold them 

 well above the 

 ground. It is very 

 productive on 

 light soils, equal 

 in size to most 

 standard sorts, 

 while its shipping 

 qualities far excel 

 those of other 

 popular market 

 varieties. In eat- 

 ing qualities it 

 ranks among the 

 best. Quality and 

 firmness are com- 

 bined in a high 

 degree in this 

 remarkable sort. 

 Chipman. 

 (Per.) Good large 

 , Nice, vigorous 



Gandy Strawberry 

 more uniform than Bubach 



berry, 

 plants. 



Climax. (Per.) Enormously productive of medium- 

 large, perfectly formed, dark red berries of high quality. 

 One of the earliest to ripen. Plant an extremely free 

 grower, dark glossy green foliage. A free, but not 

 overabundant plant-maker. Healthy and vigorous on 

 every variety of soil. 



Crescent. (Imp.) Medium early. One of the most 

 popular sorts, as it gives excellent results with little 

 care and cultivation. The berries are of medium size, 

 closely grained and solidly fleshy. They are very juicy 

 and possess a fine, rather tart flavor. Splendid for 

 canning, and a good market sort. 



Crimson Cluster. (Per.) Late Supposed to be 

 a seedling of Gandy, which variety it resembles in size, 

 shape and color. However, the plants are much thrift- 

 tier and produce more foliage, which affords better pro- 

 tection for blossoms and fruit. 



Duncan. (Per.) Smooth, medium to large, bright 

 red; good shipper. Nice vigorous plants. 



Early Hathaway. (Per.) Medium early. The 

 plants are very thrifty, and have beautiful dark wavy 

 green foliage. The berries are produced medium early, 

 are of beautiful red color, firm and of fine quality. Very 

 prolific sort, hardy and desirable in every way. 



Ekey. (Per.) The plant is one of the most attractive 

 of all varieties; very healthy. The berry is very large, 

 long, conical, pointed, slightly necked; color when 

 fully ripe bright crimson; of good quality, but not 



firm enough for 

 long-distan|ce 

 shipments, but 

 valuable for near- 

 by markets. 



Excelsior. 

 (Per.) Early, 

 large, firm, high- 

 colored, and well- 

 shaped berry. It 

 s immensely pro- 

 ductive and will 

 take the place of 

 Michel's Early 

 wherever tried. 

 Wilson- shaped 

 and colored. The 

 plant resembles 

 Hoffman, but is 

 larger and more 

 robust. 



Fairfield. Re- 

 markably pro- 

 ductive; medium 

 to large in size; 

 firm; quite early 

 Sample Strawberry and good quality. 



Fairdale Giant. (Per.) Berry is very large, uniform 

 in size, and a bright red color, high quality and very 

 productive. Season medium to late. 



Fendall. The plant is strong and vigorous, clean 

 and healthy, growing at least 2 inches higher than any 

 other variety we have in our gardens. Its foliage is a 

 beautiful Hght green, easily distinguished from any 

 other variety, and as yet has not shown the slightest 

 blemish in any respect. The berries are as large, if not 

 larger, than any other variety grown and, unlike 

 most large varieties, in that they are of delicious flavor. 



Gandy. (Pet.) Late. The standard late variety, 

 and one of the best that has ever been sent out. Pro- 

 duces best results in heavy clay soils or well-drained 

 bottom lands. The strong, vigorous plants have broad, 

 dark green foliage. The berries are borne on long, up- 

 right fruit-stems, which hold the fruit above the foliage. 

 Of beautiful bright red color, with a smooth, shiny 

 surface. May be left r^n the vines several days after 

 getting ripe without deteriorating. For shipment to 

 distant markets, it is without an equal. 



Glen Mary. (Per.) Medium. Strong, upright- 

 growing plants, with large, dark green foliage. In rich 

 ground, under high cultivation, it produces remarkably 

 good crops. The berries are large, deep red; the meat 

 is firm, juicy, and of unusually good flavor. Ideal for 

 canning and preserving. Best shipping sort- 



Ha ver land 

 (Imp.) Medium 

 early. One of the 

 most productive 

 varieties in culti- 

 vation, sending 

 out strong, vig- 

 orous runners. 

 The berries are 

 of very tempting 

 appearance, from 

 medium to large 

 in size, bright red; 

 rather long and 

 pointed. Should 

 be well poUen- 

 ized with perfect- 

 blooming sort, 

 as this will im- 

 prove the firm- 

 ness of the ber- 

 ries. Very hardy 

 and one of the 

 best on our list 

 of Strawberries. 



John son's 

 Early. (Per.) 



Early. The plants make a thrifty, healthy growth, 

 sending out many runners. The berries are very large, 

 of glossy deep red color, and of excellent flavor. 



Klondike. (Per.) Medium. Although its blossoms 

 are perfect, it has no great poUenizing power and should 

 be planted near other sorts of about the same season. 

 The plants make a remarkable growth, forming dense 

 mats of foliage, with many crowns. The berries are 

 produced in great abundance, are of beautiful uniform 

 shape, and rich, dark red color. The flavor is mild, 

 and delicious. Illustrated in colors on second cover. 



Lady Thompson. (Per.) Early. The strong, up- 

 right plants root deeply, and send out an abundance of 

 long runners. Succeeds well in a great variety of soils, 

 but does best in rich loamy or sandy soil. Berries are 

 medium large, regularly shaped, of glossy pink color, 

 solidly meaty, and of excellent flavor. 



Mark Hanna. (Per.) Late. Seedling of Buback, 

 which it resembles. The plants are strong, thrifty 

 growers, and bear profusely. The berries do not 

 average so large as those of the parent sort, but 

 surpass them with their delicate, cherry-like flavor. 

 Produces big crops of fancy fruit when grown under 

 normal conditions. 



Marshall. (Per.) Large, strong plants, with healthy 

 foliage. The berries are large, of perfect shape and of 

 attractive, dark red color. To secure the best results, 

 it should be planted in rich soil, and should receive 

 the best of care. It will then produce an abundance 

 of fancy fruit Illustrated on page 6.
