LATE TO VERY 



LATE VARIETIES 



— Continued 



Mayqueen 



(Copyrighted) 



Mayqueen was introcliieed by us last year, being- a scientific cross be- 

 tween Premier and Townsend's Big Late. When we consider for a mo- 

 ment its parentage it should naturally be expected that it should prove a 

 most wonderful variety. 



Mayqueen has the characteristics of both of its parents. In plant growth 

 it resembles both its parents, and there are both perfect and imperfect 

 blossoms showing, and while we have classed it as an imperfect bloomer it 

 is safe to i)lant alone. 



Berries are large to extra large, firm and of excellent quality. Color 

 bright glossy red resembling both Premier and Big Late. 



The past season there was no variety on our farm that produced as 

 much fruit to the square yard as Mayqueen, and none more handsome when 

 packed for shipment. We recommend it to our customers for either home 

 use or distant market. 



Price, $15.00 per 1000; 100 plants, $2.50.
