MIDSEASON TO LATE 
_ As a money-maker I know of no variety 
in the midseason to late class that will 
surpass the Joe. In productiveness it is 
almost by itself. In size and beauty it is 
all any one could desire. There is nothing but good 
qualities about the Joe. In plant growth Joe makes 
a Strong, clean plant. Sets just enough plants for 
a good matted row, showing up well on most all 
types of soils, and is at its best on clay or springy 
loam soil. 
Joe is giving satisfaction thruout the leading 
Strawberry sections of the country, and if you are 
looking for a real fancy berry for commercial pur- 
poses or fancy home trade you can not afford to 
miss planting Joe. We have listed Joe in our cata- 
logue for the past twenty years, and it is very 
seldom that we ever hear any one speak unfavor- 
ee of Big Joe. With us here it ranks with the 
est.

A BIG MONEY-MAKER FOR THE NORTHERN BERRY GROWER 
ABERDEEN is one of the most productive varieties on our list. 
Fruit averages large throughout the season. Color, a bright, shiny 
red. Berries mostly a top shape having a beautiful top green 
calyx that adds materially to its beauty. In plant growth it 
ranks with the very best, making a fine fruiting row on any 
ordinary soil. It is very solid, an excellent shipper when grown 
in the northern states. Some of the leading horticulturists of the 
North rank Aberdeen ahead of all other varieties, while one of 
the largest berry growers in Oswego County, New York, advises 
us that out of ten leading varieties fruiting on his farm Aberdeen 
was the heaviest yielder and sold for top prices throughout the 
shipping season. 
Give Aberdeen a fair trial on any ordinary soil and you will 
be surprised at the results. We have a good supply of plants. 
However, the demand is always heavy on this variety and usually 
late in the season finds us sold out. We would advise placing your 
order early and having us reserve sufficient Aberdeen plants 
to take care of your planting, making shipment when you are 
ready to set. Prices of Aberdeen will be found on page 38. 
Vigor—Makes plenty plants for fruiting bed on 
ordinary soil.
