high soil, fruit large to very large and good 

 quality, very productive. 



BIG JOE (per) For about twenty years Big 

 Joe has been a leading medium late variety 

 in the Eastern States and grows in popularity 

 every year notwithstanding there are intro- 

 duced most every year very promising late 



for home use, as it is very thin skinned and will 

 not stand shipping, flavor sweet and mild. 

 Extra large and very productive. Not suited for 

 the Southern states. 



GIBSON (per) Gibson is a favorite in the 

 Northwestern states, and was once popular in 

 the East and known as the Parsons Beauty. But 

 is seldom planted in the Eastern states any more. 

 Fruit medium to very large, irregular in size and 

 shape, quality very poor and too soft to be 

 classed as a shipping berry. Grown mostly for 

 the great quantities of fruit it produces and not 

 for quality. 



Glen Mary is fast losing 



More than 100 Acres in this Field of Netv Ground Plants 



varieties. Big joe is one of the most productive 

 and one of the largest berries grown. And 

 always brings top prices, quality good enough 

 for a king. 



COOPER (per) The Cooper is a midseason 

 variety that ranks in size with the largest berries 

 grown. It is somewhat misshaped and not as 

 regular in size as Big Joe and lots of others. 

 In quality it is very mild and sweet and is proving 

 a great favorite with the local market gardeners, 

 as the trade always comes back for more. Very 

 productive and a good money maker for market 

 gardeners. 



DE LUES JUDITH (per) This is a very 

 large and very productive variety suitable for 

 home use or nearby market, of the New York 

 family, quality very good. For home use will 

 please you. 



NEW YORK (per) There are at least a 

 dozen names for this variety which shows its 

 great popularity. Corsican, Uncle Jim Ryck- 

 man_, are some of them. Specially recommended 



out as there are so many more better varieties 

 of same season. Only a very few growers in the 

 East grow it any more. Medium to large in size, 

 quality ordinary and moderately productive. 

 Especially adapted to some soils. 



Marshall (per) Marshall is fast disappearing 

 from the markets, it was at one time the most 

 sought for plant for home use. Not as pro- 

 ductive as some varieties. Bur every berry is 

 ideal in size and quality, and very pleasing to 

 the taste. Sold only in small lots. 



"MAY-QUEEN" (per) The Queen of 

 Quality, and Quantity. See description, page 12. 



"TOWN-KING" (per) The New Perfect 

 Flowering late berry without a fault and the 

 right mate for the MAY-QUEEN. See descrip- 

 tion, page 31. 



Nic Ohmer (per) A very valuable variety 

 for home use or market. Season medium to late, 

 fruit large to very large and excellent quality. 

 Not very productive.
