NEW EARLY BEAUTY STRAWBERRY 



The New Ear- 

 ly Beaut) - Straw- 

 berry is/without 

 any "question, the 

 strongest grower 

 of any berry we 

 ever had any 

 knowledge of. At 

 our Floracroft 

 Gardens the past 

 summer it has 

 entirely covered 

 the ground from 

 spring-set plants 

 that were set out 

 in rows five feet 

 apart. They are 

 very early, the 

 fruit ripening 

 only a couple of 

 days after the 

 " Palmer Very 

 Early," of a 

 good large size, 

 pointed and of 

 delicious flavor. 



The berry is a rich glossy red. very handsome and attractive 



and enormously prolific. It has a vivid green calyx which 



sets the berry off to perfection. We anticipate that owing to 



its splendid constitution it will make a very profitable berry 



for the commercial grower. Don't fail to give it a good trial.

OOM PAlC, BIGGEST OF ALL. 



OOM PAUL STRAWBERRY 



The new strawberry. OOM PAUL, is a wonder. Stupen- 

 dous in size and delicious in flavor, nice shape, elegant color, 

 shipping the 

 best. The plant 

 is a very rank 

 grower. An- 

 other strong 

 point in favor 

 of OOM PAUL 

 is that the last 

 picking never 

 runs small. 

 Very prolific: in 

 shape inclined 

 to Jessie. The 

 berries are- 

 giants. Single 

 plants yield a 

 full quart. A 

 record-breaker 

 — six berries 

 filled a quart 

 box, for which 

 $10.00 was paid 

 at our Field 

 Meeting, June 

 15, 1901. One 

 hundred and 

 forty quarts 

 were picked 

 from two hun- 

 dred and eighty 

 OOM PAUL 

 plants at one 

 single picking. Price, postpaid, 50c. per dozen ; by express, 

 $1.25 per 100 ; $8.00 per 1,000. 



PALMER'S VERY EARLY STRAWBERRY 



This berry was originated by Mr. I. S. Palmer, of North- 

 ern New York. It proves to be the largest and most beauti- 

 ful of all early strawberries, perfect bloomer, plants strong 

 and robust, produces two and four fruit stalks to each plant, 

 well filled with large berries. Berries are large, rich, 

 dark, glossy red, perfectly conical, with flesh red all through. 

 Each berry is a fountain of juice. The largest, best-shaped 

 and most beautiful extra early berry ever known in produc- 

 tiveness. Ranks with Crescent, Parker. Earl, Glen Mary, 

 Haverland and other gTeat yielders. Ripens fully ten days 

 ahead of Mitchel Early, Johnson Early and Excelsior. Price 

 I bv mail, postpaid, 5uc. per dozen ; by express, $1.25 per 100 : 

 $8.00 per 1.000. 



THE MAXIMUS 



One of the largest and most beautiful of all Straw- 

 berries. Perfect bloomer; plant strong and robust. Produces 

 two and four fruit stalks to a plant, well filled with very 

 large berries. Berries conical, deep glossy scarlet; flesh pink, 

 sometimes white at the centre, very tender, of mild flavor. 

 GLEN MARY. Very vigorous, perfect blooming plant 



, of Brandywine and Isabel type. Enormously productive of 

 large, bright, deep red berries. Flesh very firm. Light red 

 clear to the centre; sweet, rich and high-flavored; a de- 

 cidedly good berry in point of plant, yield, fine 

 form, bright color, firmness and good quality. 



BISMARCK. Perfect flowering. A new and vigorous 

 seedling of Bubach. Plant vigorous, fruit stalks very 

 heavy. Broad, dark leaves. Moderately productive, but all 

 the berries are large to very large. Light glossy scarlet 

 color. 



MARSHALL. (Midseason.) Berries very beautiful and 

 average extraordinarily large — often fourteen will fill a quart 

 measure. For home use it is peerles9. The first of the extra 

 large varieties to ripen, and although of great size, the fruit 



j is rarely ever misshapen. Color is a rich glossy crimson ad- 

 mired by all. 



BRANDYWINE. (ilidseason to very late.) Brandywine 

 is already world-famous ; in fact, we doubt if any strawberry 



i ever before has received such enthusiastic praise over so 

 wide an extent of territory. The berries are of large size, 

 glossy scarlet, very firm, solid and shapely, of delightful 

 aroma, rich, juicy and luscious, and wonderfully productive. 

 " THE GANDY." (Late.) One of the best laic straw- 

 berries ever introduced. Strictly fancy. The fruits are uni- 



I formly large, perfect in form and firm ; color, bright crimson 

 and as glossy as if varnished. Quality superb ; delightful 

 aroma, suggestive of both strawberries and peaches. 



BUBACH No. 5 (P). (Midseason.) A prominent 

 grower says: "If all varieties were culled out but ten, he 

 would place Bubach No. 5 at the head of the list on account 



, of its large, bright berries, immense yield and fine flavor. "
