MILLER (medium early) A new introduction from Ohio, 

 originated by Mr. V. W. Miller, of Athens, Ohio, and very 

 highly recommended to us. Mr. Miller is one of our old cus- 

 tomers and knows what good strawberries are. He states that 

 the Miller is a strong, vigorous grower, produces a heavy crop of 

 large to extra large, rich, bright colored berries. Quality and 

 production ranks with any other varieties ever tested by him. 

 Also states that his pickers prefer it to any of the older va- 

 rieties on his farms. Mr. Miller sent us a small amount of these 

 plants and gave us the sole right to propagate them for sale. 

 We have not fruited them yet on our own farms, but we had 

 such a fine stock of the plants and they come so highly recom- 

 mended that we were persuaded to offer them to our customers 

 this season. 



MARCUS (mid-season) This is a valuable new mid-season 

 variety that we are offering for the first time. We have fruited 

 it several times in our trial plots, and it has always made a 

 good showing among the best standards. Fruit is large, bright 

 red, and quality is very good, firm, and productive. It will keep 

 on the vines several days after being ripe. Suitable for home 

 or market use, and should, by all means, be given a trial. 



McCOWAN (mid-season) This variety was sent to us by 

 one of our Pennsylvania customers, stating that he had found it 

 the best variety for his local market. We have fruited it twice, 

 and find it to be a very High Quality berry. A large bright red, 

 moderately firm, quality excellent, and a strong hardy grower, 

 very productive. We recommend it for a trial. Plants limited. 



LANCASTER (extra late) Shows great promises in our test 

 grounds last year. The berry is of a glossy rich red color, foli- 

 age deep green and seems to be hardy in every respect. One of 

 its outstanding points is long stems that hold the fruit well off 

 the ground.

CALVERTON (medium early) Was sent to us from New 

 York State. On our grounds the berry is a deep rich color of 

 even size, running uniform, a good plant maker with promises 

 of a heavy yield on good strawberry soil. 



NIAGARA (mid-season) This variety has been under test 

 at our grounds for the past three years. The foliage seems 

 perfect, showing no signs of blight. Berries are large to extra 

 large, color rich red, berries hold up well after picking and 

 continue to ripen over a long season. 



Varieties Originated at the New York Agriculture 

 Experiment Station 



The following new varieties of Strawberries are all from a cross 

 between Marshall and Howard 17 (Premier). The plants of these 

 three varieties are very vigorous, productive, hardy and healthy. 

 The vigor and plant making ability exceeds that of any standard 

 varieties in the Station collection. All are mid-season except 

 Culver, which is late. These three varieties are perfect flowering. 



CAMDEN Was named because of its extreme vigor and 



planting making qualities. The fruit characters are satisfactory 



for a good market berry. The fruit is large, very glossy and 

 very attractive. 



CLERMONT This variety is offered as a general market 

 berry. The fruits are very large and hold up well in size 

 throughout the season. The berries are regular, very glossy and 

 attractive, do not bruise easily, and the quality is very good. 



CULVER This is a late mid-season berry, rather dark in 

 color, and well adapted to preserving. The berries are large, 

 regular, and bruise slightly. The flavor is sprightly and the 

 quality very good. It is excellent for preserving, for market, 

 and for home use.

WIL-SON 



(late) 



WIL-SON— Heavy Yielding Late Variety 



Better than Wm. Belt. That's what they all 



say. A very late strong hardy growing variety, 



5 of the Wm. Belt type. Originated in Michigan, 



and said to be a cross of Wm. Belt and Gibson. 



It will equal Gibson in production, and fully as 



good as Wm. Belt in quality. Seems to grow 



well on most any soil, and is sure to become a 



favorite for the home garden as well as the 



market gardener. Extra large size, rich red to 



the center, extra firm and sweet, besides it has 



a spicy flavor taken from the Wm. Belt, and a 



mild flavor from the Gibson. In our trial plot the past 



season, it stood very near the top for production, equalled 



anything in quality. Makes a fine row of strong upright 



plants that hold the loads of fruit well off the ground. 



Wherever an extra late berry of quality is desired for 



either home use or market. Try Wil-Son.
