CHOICE FRUIT TREES AND ORNAMENTALS 



STRAWBERRIES, continued 



Mascot. (Per.) Vigorous plants, 

 four to five days later than Gandy; 

 much larger. 



McKinley. (Per.) Medium to 

 late. Plants are of good size, thrifty, 

 healthy growers, with many strong 

 runners. Fruit large and firm, of 

 round, conical shape and bright red 

 color, which extends clear through 

 the meat. Always attractive and of 

 highest quality. 



Michel's Early. (Per.) Extra early. 

 The healthy plants make a rampant 

 growth, set many crowns and develop 

 an abundance of choice fruit. Berries 

 are of a scarlet color, possess a rich, 

 mild acid flavor and are very firm 

 and solidly meaty. An old and very 

 popular variety. 



Midnight. (Per.) The latest sort 

 on our list, ripening long after the 

 main crop of Strawberries. The 

 berries are large, broad, thick through, 

 of pink color, with white flesh. One 

 of the richest and sweetest and highly 

 recommended for family use or plant- 

 ing in the home garden. 



Millionaire. (Per.) One of the newer sorts with us, 

 but one in which we have great contidence from the 

 tests that we have given it. We find it is a perfect 

 bloomer, a berry ot best medium size. Berries are clear 

 dark red, well-shaped; very showy. This variety 

 is illustrated in color on the last cover page ot this 

 Catalogue. 



Missionary. (Per.) Large, uniform size; deep red 

 color. The plants are easily grown and very productive. 



New Home. (Per.) Very late. Extra-large, bright 

 red berries, which, for firmness and keeping qualities, 

 have no equal. Although in dry seasons the plants do 

 not produce well, in normal years they will yield 

 abundant crops of splendid fruit. A good shipper. 



New York. (Per.) Medium to late. The plants are 

 of upright growth, with large foliage and many strong 

 crowns. The berries are of extra-large size, of dark 

 red, shiny color and are produced in great quantities. 

 A very choice sort. 



Nick Ohmer. (Per.) Medium to late. A most 

 popular sort, with iDerries of beautiful carmine color. 

 They are large, very firm, and of unusually delicious 

 flavor. Long fruit-stems make picking of this variety 

 very easy. A fine shipper and suitable for fancy trade. 

 A leading variety with many large growers. 



Norwood. The Norwood is beUeved to be the best 

 all - round Strawberry in existence. The plant is strong 

 and healthy, making a liberal number of strong runners, 

 but not excessive. The berry is conical and regular in 

 shape, not a cockscombed berry was found this season. 

 The quality is unsurpassed and the size unequaled, 

 some attaining the enormous size of 3 inches in diam- 

 eter. Color bright red all the way 

 through, growing darker with age; is 

 firm, a good keeper and will ship 

 well. Has a perfect blossom and holds 

 its size well through the season and 

 remains in bearing for a long time. 

 Picked the first box June 18 and the 

 last one July 18. The largest berries 

 were found in matted rows or beds, 

 although the plants had received no 

 extra culture. 



Oak's Early. (Per.) Extra early. 

 Originated in Somerset county, Mary- 

 land. It is an exceedingly strong 

 grower, very productive, and does 

 well in almost any soil. The berries 

 are of beautiful appearance and ex- 

 cellent quality. 



Oswego. Very large berry. Origi- 

 nated in New York.. Said to be very 

 fine. 



Parsons' Beauty. (Per.) Me- 

 dium. This sort enjoys almost uni- 

 versal popularity and succeeds in a 

 great variety of soils. It is a strong 



Strawberries, Peaches and Apples on the same land 



healthy grower, making, under ordinary conditions, 

 twice as many plants to the acre as other standard sorts^ 

 It begins to ripen in midseason and extends its season 

 until late sorts, as Gandy, are ready. Berries medium 

 to large, of dark red color, thick through and rather 

 blunt. They possess a mild and delicious flavor, and 

 never fail to attract favorable attention in the market. 

 One of the best money-makers and a very satisfactory 

 sort in every respect. 



Sample. (Imp.) Late. Of large size and yields 

 enormous quantities of berries of excellent quality. 

 The fruits retain their large size until the end of the 

 season. They are of bright red color, very firm and of 

 rich flavor. A standard shipping variety; also fine for 

 family use. Many excellent qualities are combined in 

 this remarkable sort, notably, its system of ripening 

 fruit gradually throughout the season 



Senator Dunlap. (Per.) Late. The plants are 

 strong, healthy growers, with bright green, upright foli- 

 age. Its blossoming season is long and its flowers are very 

 rich in pollen. Berries are large, of handsome, dark red 

 color, uniform in size and shape, which is conical. The 

 meat is red through, firm, juicy, and of fine texture. 

 The flavor is very delicate. The popularity of this ex- 

 cellent sort increases steadily, owing to the extraordi- 

 nary records which it has to its credit. 



Sharpless. (Per.) One of the largest when planted 

 on strong, rich, moist soil, but the variety will do fairly 

 well in lighter soils, but not as well as a variety like 

 the Tennessee Prolific on poor soils. The berry, when 

 not fully ripe, is a little white at the tip, but ripens a 

 deep clear red, moderately firm, sweet and excellent.
