NEW CHELLIE STRAWBERRY 



This berrj- originated in Camden County, N. J. The 

 plant has a perfect blossom, is a strong grower, free runner, 

 clear of rust, very productive, and a sure bearer, the fruit 

 ripening midseason to late. The large, symmetrically shaped 

 berry, with a fresh green calyx, is a briglit, glossy red; color- 

 ing all over, and having no green point, it presents a strik- 

 ingly attractive appearance throughout the season. It is of 

 firm texture and superior flavor, resembling that of the ivild 

 strawberry. Price bv mail, postpaid, 40c. per dozen. By 

 express, 81-00 per 100; $7.00 per 1,000. 



THE MAXIMUS 



Tve fiud to be one of the largest and most beautiful 

 of all Strawberries. Perfect bloomer; plant strong and 

 robust. Produces two and four fruit stalks to a plant, all of 

 them well filled with large to very large berries. Berries 

 conical, deep glossy scarlet; flesh pink, sometimes white at 

 the centre, very tender, of mild flavor. 



GI.EV MARY. Verj' vigorous, perfect blooming plant 

 of Brandywine and Isabel type Enormously productive of 

 large to very large, bright, deep red berries. Y'ellow seeds 

 on surface; flesh very firm. Light red clear to the centre; 

 sweet, rich and high-flavored; a decidedly good berry in 

 point of plant, yield, great size, fine form, bright 

 color, firmness and good quality. 



BISMARCK. Perfect flowering. A new and vigorous 

 seealing of Bubach. Plant very vigorous, fruit stalks very 

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

 the berries are large to very large. Light scarlet color 

 and glossy. 



MARSH AH. {Midseason.) The berries are very beau- 

 tiful and average extraordinarily large — often fourteen will 

 fill a quart measure. As a berry for home use it is peerless. 

 It is the first of the extra large varieties to ripen, and al- 

 though of great size, the fruit is rarely ever misshapen. The 

 color is a rich glossy crimson that every one admires. 



BRANDYWINE. (Midseason to very late.) Brandywine 

 is already ?<'0rM-/amo«s.- in fact, we doubt if any strawberry 

 ever before has received such enthusiastic praise over so wide 

 an extent of territon.-. 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 late straw- 

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

 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 

 strawberry 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."
