■" *■ "" lv ' ** VK partment of Agriculture, and the 

 results of ten years of experimental work by the Depart- 

 ment, being selected from more than 55,000 new seed- 

 ling varieties, Bellmar is a scientific cross between 

 Premier and Missionary. Being of the same parent- 

 age as the Blakemore, and from observations made 

 during fruiting periods in different sections of the 

 country, we have every reason to believe that it will 

 soon become a leading extra early variety, as it is a 

 vigorous grower, and a very productive fruit, comparing 

 in size and color with the Premier, quality better and 

 a more firmer texture. Should be given a test by 

 every grower. 



FRUITLAND ( exf ra ear,y ) Season ver y early , 

 r ■** v ' ' ■rf^l^l 1^ fruit large to extra large, firm 

 enough to be classed as a good shipper, color bright red 

 with a rather heavy calyx, resembling the Big Joe in 

 both shape and color. Flavor extra good being mild 

 and sweet. Exceedingly productive, and one of the 

 very best hardy growers on the average soil. Plants 

 a very dark green and not subject to any rust. From 

 reports received during the past year we are led to 

 believe that Fruitland is destined to become a leader 

 as an extra early berry for either home use or market. 

 Fruitland produced on our farms the past season at a 

 rate of 10,000 quarts per acre, picking 2,560 quarts per 

 acre at one picking. Fruitland is not a long season 

 variety. 



RED COLD 



(extra early) Originated in the 

 West, and has been widely planted 

 during the last few years. In many sections it seems to 

 be the leading early variety. With us it is only fair 

 both in plant growth and production. Fruit is medium 

 in size, a dark red color, quality fair to good, moderately 

 firm. No doubt it is at home in the West and North 

 Western states. We have a very fine stock of plants, 

 prices reasonable. 



1600 Quarts Berries From 1000 Premier Plants 



GENTLEMEN:— Hatboro, Pa., February 14th, 1932. 



I ordered 1000 Premier plants from you and they all lived and done 

 fine. They are as good a berry as I ever raised; and I have grown 

 berries for 20 years. I sold sixteen hundred ninety six quarts. We ate 

 and canned all we wanted besides. I just can't say too much for your 

 premier. CLAUD H. GATES.
