New French Everbearing Strawberries 



NEW " ST. JOSEPH " STRAWBERRY 



French fruit culturists have been working 

 up everbearing strains of strawberries, and the 

 "St. Joseph" is their latest and best introduc- 

 tion. We received our original stock direct 

 from the world-renowned firm of Vilmorin, 

 Andreux & Co. They put out strong runners 

 very early in the season as shown in the cut, 

 and these very soon throw up blossoms and 

 fruit, and where weather conditions are favor- 

 able, will continue to fruit all sunnner. The St. 

 Joseph is wonderfully prolitic. Fruit large, 

 beailtiful crimson color and of tine flavor.

New Twice=Bearing " Louis Gauthier" 

 Strawberry 



This new French variety will create a sen- 

 sation among berry growers as soon as its merits 

 are known. It has enormous size and a twice- 

 bearing habit by means of its runners. It is 

 vigorous in every direction. Its dark gieen, 

 thick, tough leaves resist disease and enable it 

 to hold out against droughts. It is enormously 

 piolitic, a hundred and sixty berries having 

 been counted on one plant. In color, a light 

 rose, which is rare among the large sorts. The 

 runners, like the St. Joseph, are produced early 

 in the season, and quickly come to maturity, 

 producing, under favorable circumstances, a 

 second crop of fruit about the month of Se|> 

 tember. These are perhaps not quite so large 

 as those produced in early summer, but are of 

 equally tine flavor and will pro%"e most accept- 

 able at that season of the year.

MAMMOTH PERPETUAL 



This is a seedling berry with the same characteristics as 

 the French berries of throwing out early runners, and in 

 favorable seasons large crops of fruit have been taken in the 

 fall, realizing 75c. per quart. Berries are large, freely pro- 

 duced and of a strong, vigorous constitution. 



Price, "Mammoth Perpetual."

•S.\IXT JOSEPH" FRENCH STRAWBEBKV. 



LAXTOX'S NOBLE. The fruit is borne in large trusses 

 with few small berries; it is of flattish globular shape, highly 

 colored and very handsome; it has a rich vinous flavor, and 

 the flesh is very tirm, which makes a first-class variety to 

 travel, and therefore a desirable market variety. The plant 

 is hardy and vigorous, and stands drought well.

CLYDE. Mr. J. H. Hale, the well-known strawberry 

 oulturist, says of Clyde: It heaped its huge berries one 

 upon the other in greatest profusion everywhere — 

 great, big, rollicking fellows, as perfect in form as 

 the small end of a hen's egg — the most uniformly sym- 

 metrical lot of berries I have ever seen, with not one 

 single or imperfect berry from beginning to end of 

 season. Clear, light scarlet color; beauties in every way. 

 Moderately firm and of fine quality.

 seedling of Bubach. Plant very vigorous, fruit stalks verj'
