JOE JOHNSON-Will make you big money 



HUNDRED DOLLAR. A very valuable and mid- 

 season variety. The introducer's claim that "there is 

 not another variety of strawberry that will outyield 

 this giant or surpass it in quality" has to a large 

 degree been fulfilled. The plant is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, and among the most prolific. The berries 

 average very large indeed, the color is bright scarlet 

 and the quality mild, sweet and luscious. It is not 

 very firm — not firm enough for long shipment. There 

 are indeed few varieties more valuable for nearby 

 markets or for the home garden. 



JOE JOHNSON (BIG JOE). This is one of the 

 best berries on the list. Above medium in size, 

 almost perfect in shape, very solid, bright red in color, 

 and a good heavy bearer for so large a berry. The 

 fruit is borne on long stiff stems, well up from the 

 ground. Plants are very large and deep-rooted. 

 Strong grower, dark green in color. A bed of Joe 

 Johnson in fruit is about as handsome a sight as 

 one often sees and it is a money-maker for both 

 nearby and distant markets. Don't fail to plant 

 Joe Johnson. 



KELLOGG'S PREMIER. I am giving a part of the 

 introducer's description: "Kellogg's Premier is dis- 

 tinctly in a class by itself. In productiveness it is a 

 wonder. The berries are mammoth in size, beauti- 

 fully formed, bright, rich red through and through, 

 delicious in flavor, and a splendid shipper. In one 

 word, every berry is a show-berry and a prize-winner. 

 It is the money-making king of all early berries. 

 Last year the Premier began ripening berries fully 

 a week earlier than any other variety, and continued 

 to fruit heavily for more than four weeks. And the 

 last picking was as good as the first. Another quality 

 in which the Premier excels is that of a pollenizer 

 for pistillate varieties, a characteristic of unusual 

 value because of its long blooming season. If you 

 believe you have already seen the greatest early berry, 

 but as yet never seen Kellogg's Premier, you still 

 have something worth while to discover in the straw- 

 berry world. And if you would grow strawberries 

 that will sell at your own price, no matter how many 

 other berries are on the market, the Premier is the 

 variety for you to choose." 



KELLOGG'S PRIZE. A pistillate variety with a 

 very long fruiting season. It thrives in soils of every 

 class, and yields immense quantities of large, perfectly 

 formed berries, highly colored from center to circum- 

 ference, its golden seeds lending a gloss to the sur- 

 face of surpassing brilliancy and beauty. There is no 

 other berry having a flavor of greater delicacy. Foli- 

 age large and healthy ; calyx large and green. One 

 of the heaviest fruiters I have ever grown, and I 

 recommend them to you for trial. 



KELLOGG'S BIG LATE. The introducer says of 

 Big Late — It has been thoroughly tested for three 

 years and each year it has outyielded all of the old 

 standard late varieties. When it comes to qualiiy 

 and flavor, its berries are in every way superior to 

 the berries of any other variety with which we are 

 acquainted. The originator says that the berries are 

 so firm that they carry to remotely distant parts 

 and arrive in prime condition. It is a strong, vigor- 

 ous-growing pistillate with large healthy leaves, and 

 it roots very deeply. The berries are produced in 

 clusters on long fruiting stalks. The color of the 

 berries is a deep scarlet, seeds bright yellow, calyx 

 bright green, and fruit stems are large, making a 

 combination which attracts the attention of the buyer, 

 no matter how many other berries are offered in 

 competition. 



KLONDYKE. Berries uniform in shape and size, 

 dark red, mild and delicious, very handsome. Plants 

 make a remarkable growth, are tall and compact, 

 stalks strong, leaves light green, makes abundant 

 runners and an unusual number of crowns. One of 

 the very best paying early varieties, and is such a 

 good shipper that its appearance in the market causes 

 it to be eagerly bought by those who are ready to 

 pay good prices for fancy fruit. Plant Klondyke for 

 more trade and more profit. 



LADY CORNEILLE. Claimed by many to be better 

 than Klondyke. It makes plenty of plants on any 

 soil. Blossoms perfect. The fruit is large, conical, 

 rich dark red, covered with golden seeds which adds 

 to its firmness. It is more productive than Klondyke 

 and adapted to light or stiff soils and is extensively 

 planted in a great many sections. 



LATE JERSEY GIANT. Plants are very large and 

 vigorous. Fruit is heart-shaped, uniform in shape 

 and size ; exceedingly productive, firm and of the 

 very best quality. A rather new variety, but is ex- 

 tensively planted by all that have given it a trial. 

 The berries are produced in clusters on large strong 

 fruit stocks. 



LUPTON. The introducer describes it as follows: 

 The plant is healthy and long-lived, foliage heavy, 

 dark green, fruit stalks short, berries set under the 

 leaves and well protected ; flower perfect, berry large, 

 bright red, glossy, and doesn't turn dark after being 

 picked. Its season is about five days ahead of the 

 Gandy, from which it is a seedling and lasts nearly 

 as long. I have grown all the leading varieties by 

 the Lupton, but have never found one that would 

 produce with it. It sells for the highest market 

 prices and is especially recommended by commission 

 merchants for long distance shipment on account of 

 its firmness and good keeping qualities.
