half. Season very early. Large size and good 

 quality, very productive and frost proof. Not 

 recommended for the North. 



ST. LOUIS (per) We heard so much talk 

 of the St. Louis as an early berry that we sent 

 South last year and got a supply of plants. In 

 season it is as early as Excelsior, or the very 

 first to ripen. Fruit at the beginning is as large 

 as pullet eggs and same shape. Color very light 

 red and flavor mild and sweet. It is a clean 

 grower, and will please most growers wanting 

 an extra large and extra early berry for home use. 



HAVERLAND (imp) In some sections 

 Haverland is still planted largely, it is a strong 

 grower of medium size, long pointed berries of 

 very ordinary quality. I cannot see how any 

 one would plant Haverland when they could 

 get such varieties as Premier. 



LADY THOMPSON (per) Season early 

 to mid-season, planted only in the Southern 

 States at this time, produces a fair crop of only 

 ordinary quality fruit, not as good as Missionary. 



Mid-Season to Late Varieties 



AROMA (per) 



One of the best 

 medium late stan- 

 dard varieties.

 OCTOBER SCENE on Townsend's Plant Farms 



Not recommended as a general market variety 

 as the color is against it. 



Success (per) In some sections this is a 

 favorite, season very early, fruit medium to 

 large, not firm enough to ship far. Quality 

 very good for home use. 



Early to Mid'Season Varieties 



DR. BURRILL (per) The Million dollar 

 strawberry, of the Dunlap family. Dr. Burrill 

 is to the north and west what the Klondyke is 

 to the South and East. Will stand lots of abuse 

 and still grow a bumper crop of medium to 

 large berries of excellent quality, for best results 

 should be restricted in plant growth. 



Senator Dunlap, Same description as Dr. 

 Burrill. 



Delicious (per) This variety is of the Dunlap 

 family, and so far as I can see is no improve- 

 ment over Senator Dunlap, although it is a 

 distinct variety.

Seems to 



adapted to 



most all soils 



and climates, more so than any other variety 



grown. Many of the largest Associations in the 



West plant nothing else. 



Aroma is a clean plant and a very hardy 

 grower. Fruit large size and excellent quality, 

 ranks as one of the best shipping varieties. 

 Fruit holds a uniform size throughout the sea- 

 son and is very productive. We grow Aroma 

 plants by the million every year and our strain 

 is considered the very best to be had. Special 

 prices to large growers and Associations. 



BURGESS (per) This variety originated in 

 Alabama a few years ago, said to be a cross of 

 Bubach and Aroma. It resembles the Aroma 

 very much. Season late, a fine large berry that 

 is very firm and excellent quality. It is highly 

 recommended in the South and Southwest. 

 Burgess is a great plant maker and for this 

 reason should be restricted to narrow, matted 

 rows or grown in hills. Does well on medium
