THE NEW BIG STRAWBERRY 
Personal inspection of Ambrosia plantings in Mich., Wisc., 
Ill., and Indiana has convinced us that this new, late berry 
will soon become the leading late variety for that section of 
the country. At the time of inspection the vines were loaded 
with uniformly shaped fruit, which was large to extra large 
in size. It was the last variety to ripen and can be classed 
as an extra late. Its rich-red color and sturdy texture, with 
the excellent quality of these berries, will be appreciated by 
the fancy trade. To growers in above section of the country 
who are looking for a good, large, late berry we can safely 
recommend Ambrosia as one of the very best. 
BEAVER 
We do not hesitate to recommend Beaver as one of the very best extra Carly varieties for 
Wisc., Minn., and Kansas. In these three states extensive plantings are made with almost 
unprecedented success. Many berry growers will have no other variety. Through eight years 
of plant selection with the Beaver variety we are now in a position to offer the growers an exceptionally 
heavy yielding strain. Our original strain of Beaver came direct from the originator. Fruit is large, of 
bright red color, texture is firm and holds up well for long distant shipping. It is a cross of Dr. Burrill and 
Premier. It combines the best qualities of both. 
A : 
VARIETY 
THAT has WITHSTOOD the TEST of YEARS! 
*HEN other late varieties are killed by 
frost Ford stands up and produces! Like 
Premier it is one of our most frost-resistant 
varieties. Results from Ford 
have been so consistently excel- 
lent that in all our years ship- 
ping Ford plants to thousands 
of customers throughout the 
country we have never heard of 
a case of rust or crop failure. 
Our New England customers, 
where late frosts occur, are 
particularly enthusiastic about 
this fine, late variety. Ford 
makes a heavy fruiting bed and, 
for best results, keep Ford 
thinned out. FRUIT. Fruit is of 
bright, rich-red, run- 
ning large to extra 
large. It is of very 
good quality and 
stands up well after 
picking.
