PENNSYLVANIA'S FAVORITE LATE BERRY 
The Fancy Trade Demands Berries 
Like Wm. Belt. It's a Favorite 
With Market Gardeners 
The Wm. Belt is grown largely in New 
York and Pennsylvania for fancy trade. It is 
in demand on account of its large size, good 
eating qualities and fine appearance, making 
it a favorite with both grower and consumer. 
WM. BELT is very productive, producing a 
good crop of fancy berries on just ordinary 
soils. It is not new by any means. We have 
been growing Wm. Belt for the past 25 years 
and it is just one of the varieties 
that has come to stay. About the 
only fault we can find with Wm. 
Belt is the fact that it is subject to 
rust on low, springy soils; therefore 
would advise pianting this variety 
on upland type or on heavy clay 
soils. It stands at the top of the list 
as a late money making berry and is 
highly prized by the market gar- 
deners that cater to the fancy trade 
Wm. Belt and Townking are two 
good late varieties to cater to. We 
have only a limited supply of Wm. 
Belt, so would advise placing order 
early that we may reserve your 
plants and ship at proper planting 
time.
