GOV. UOABD. 



We feel some pride in being able to place be- 

 >ie the public this valuable " Big 4" of perfect 

 Dwering strawberries. Such a group was never 

 before offered, nor do we think it possible to se- 

 lect four better slaminate sorts from the hundreds 

 of varieties now on the market. All have been 

 \ horoughly tested at the various Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Stations throughout the United States. 



ENHANCE. Large bright red, changing to 

 deep dark red, almost black, when fuU.v ripe; 

 very firm and good shipper. The large green 

 calyx adds greatly to their appearance. Unsur- 

 passed for canning. Plant strong, entirely free 

 from rust, and very productive. 



TVOOLVERTON. A grand variety. Large 

 size, bright red, best quality; plant, a strong, 

 healthy growerand heavy bearer, lasting through 

 a whole season .-ind until very late. 



GOV. HOARD. Large, excellent quality, 

 firm and good bearer, and like all the Big 4, shows 

 up well when picked, which is quite an item if to 

 be sold in market. 



SAUNDERS. This is .just the berry for gen- 

 eral planting, doing equally well on light or 

 heavy soil, sand or clay. Fruit ver.v large and 

 solid, more productive than Sharpless and a 

 better berry in every way. Season, early to me-
