PAVJ I^^IIL Introduction, 

 introduced by us Spring, 1911, Big 

 Late has been grown in every sec- 

 tion where strawberries are grown 

 and has proven itself a great 

 money maker for the average 

 grower. I have never tasted a 

 better berry. It is surely the aris- 

 tocrat of the standard varieties for 

 quality. Plants are strong, erect, 

 and hold the berries oil' the groumi 

 like cherries. No garden is com 

 plete without this grand variety. 

 Fruit medium- to large, bright vel- 

 vet red and every berry looks like 

 it has been varnished. Very few 

 varieties equal it in production. 



^^^J)Y — Gandy is a very late variety and well known 



to most growers. Excellent quality. Veiy firm, 



and classed as one of the best shippers on the list. Gandy must 

 be planted on low springy soil to do its best. When conditions 

 are right Gandy is a valuable variety, as it has size, quality 

 and appearance. 



Lupt 



on 



— A very large handsome berry and an excellent 



shipper. Compares in size with Chesapeake. Very 



in appearance and a good seller on all markets. 



Not quite as produc- 



attractive 



Makes plenty of strong vigorous plants 



tive as Chesapeake, but will hold size longer and nearly every 



berry good perfect one. 



McALPINE — A very late valuable variety for high sandy soil. 

 Does better on this kind of soil than any late berry we know of. 

 Fruit medium in size, very prolific, and of excellent qualitj. 



PEARL — This is said to be the latest strawberry on the market 

 and insures a big crop of late ben-ies that usually bring good 

 prices. It blooms freely and opens its buds very late, generally 

 late enough to avoid all late frosts. The berries are enormous, 

 of very dark red with prominent yellow seeds, remarkably firm. 

 Gomes into bearing very late in June or July in the North. 



Gandy. 



WORLD'S WONDER 



— W here an over-sized 

 berry is wanted, World's 

 Wonder will fill the bill. One of the largest and ugliest berries 

 on the list. I have seen these berries as large as 10 inches 

 around, seven berries filling a quart basket. The flavor is very 

 mild and sweet; flesh soft, suitable only for home use or local 

 market. Very productive and a good grower. We sell millions 

 of these plants every year. 



\X^IY« Belt — "^ very large dark red berry of excellent 



! quality ; one of the leaders for home use. Very 



productive and a good shipper. The Belt has been on the mar- 

 ket a good many years and is still popular. 



Lucky Strike a World Beater 



MR. J. P. ASHER, Portland, Me., writes: Your Lucky 

 Strike and Mastodon are the greatest berries I have ever 

 grown or seen grown. I cannot see how any one would 

 think of planting any other kind of plants after they once 

 grew these two varieties from you. We get enough berries 

 from the fall crop to more than pay for plants and all 

 growing expenses, besides having plenty fresh berries for 

 over five months in the year. And in the spring we have 

 found nothing as good for the spring crop. Lucky Strike is 

 a world beater for a spring crop.
