GANDY — One of the oldest and best very late berries on my list. 



i^L, 



EDMUND WILSON. A unique variety. On good 

 soil the plants attain a height of twelve to fifteen 

 inches with a spread of fully a foot and are enor- 

 mously prolific. The berries are very large, globular 

 or bluntly heart shape, of deep maroon color with 

 smooth surface and quite firm. Perhaps the richest 

 in sugary lusciousness of all. Ripens in mid-season. 



1/ 



EKEY. A vigorous growing variety that produces 

 an abundance of large conical berries. The berries 

 are of good quality and are firm enough to ship. The 

 blossoms are perfect and produce an abundance of 

 pollen. If you ship berries to the Philadelphia mar- 

 ket you should plant some Ekey ; it brings a premium 

 over other sorts. Also good for home market. 



l^ GLEN MARY. Probably no variety of strawberries 

 will produce more quarts per acre than Glen Mary. 

 It is very popular throughout the northern half of the 

 United States and especially in Pennsylvania, New 

 York and New England. Firm enough for distant 

 shipping. It is of handsome appearance and good 

 quality. The fruit is of large size and dark red in 

 color with prominent seeds of bright yellow. The 

 meat is so rich and juicy and of such high flavor 

 that, when once eaten, more is wanted. Glen Mary 

 is a strong grower which makes large, healthy plants, 

 with an abundance of dark green foliage. Not only 

 is Glen Mary a heavy cropper, but the berries are of 

 such quality and attractiveness that they bring top 

 prices on the market. 



/ GANDY. One of the universal favorites, and as 

 a "money-maker" hard to beat. A good grower with 

 tall healthy foliage, and produces large, dark crim- 

 son berries, that when fully ripe, are of excellent 

 quality. It is a splendid berry and always brings 

 fancy prices. A free plant maker and a good 

 grower, while its extra firmness makes it keep on 

 the vines longer than almost any I know. Late. If 

 you grow late strawberries you need Gandy. 



GOLD DOLLAR. Produces a heavy crop of large- 

 V sized, highly colored berries that are perfect in shape. 

 It has perfect blossoms, every one of which matures 

 a good berry. Ripens medium early. 



' HUSTLER. It is a vigorous grower, making a few 

 large, strong plants rather than many small ones. 

 The fruit averages large in size, is quite uniform, 

 and firm enough to ship to a distant market. The 

 berries are a rich scarlet in color, most excellent in 

 quality and altogether one of the handsomest berries 

 that I know. The blossoms are imperfect. With its 

 big green cap, it is a variety that attracts the atten- 

 tion of buyers and nearly always sells at a premium. 



HOWARD No. 17. A new variety from Connecti- 

 cut. Described by a reliable Connecticut grower as 

 follows : "The earliest fancy variety that I have ever 

 seen. The first fruit to ripen is fully as large as 

 Chesapeake, fully as firm and the quality fully as 

 good. It is of the same cone shape and the color 

 much the same, possibly not quite so dark but glossy 

 and handsome. Will yield three times as much fruit 

 as Chesapeake and is on the job a week before Chesa- 

 peake begins to ripen. So great is my faith in this 

 variety that more than one-half of all I set the com- 

 ing spring will be Howard No. 17. This variety has 

 come in competition with hundreds of competitors on 

 the grounds of the Connecticut Agricultural College 

 and vanquished them all, not only for one or two 

 years, mind you, but for ten years." I have never 

 fruited it except on plants set spring, but they were 

 fine and so favorably impressed was I with them that 

 I expect to set a nice lot of them this spring for 

 fruit. How many do you want ? I only have about 

 twenty thousand to sell, so get your order in early. 



/ HAVERLAND. Exceedingly productive. Fruit 

 large and fine. One of the most popular of the well- 

 tested varieties. It will stand more frost than most 

 any other variety, often bearing large crops when 

 others are killed. We can always depend on a large 

 crop. Few varieties will produce more fruit per acre 

 or sell for more money. The demand for plants is 

 always great. 



HERITAGE. A long season variety — from quite 

 early until quite late. The berries are large, many 

 of them very large, and the yield is heavy. The 

 quality is fair and the texture firm. The plants are 

 vigorous and healthy, and yield so bountifully it has 

 much value.
