Mead. Mid-Season, Perfect- 



Another new variety from Massachusetts that comes verj' 

 highly recommended and described as under. " Plant of per- 

 fect health and vigor, perfect flavoring, perfect form of highest 

 quality, rich glossy red on outside and has red flesh all the way 

 through, a great cropper, ranking with Clyde, Sample and Glen 

 Mary, a good shipper like Gaudy's Prize, will thrive on light land 

 as on any other, has no small berries, all the late formed ones 

 come up to good size." You can make no mistake in planting 

 a liberal quantity of Mead. 60 cts. per doz. ; ^4.00 per 100. 



Midnight. L.ate, Perfect. 



The introducer of this new variety, one of the most extensive 

 growers in Connecticut and an authority on Strawberries, says 



of it : "It is the latest, 

 the largest and the best 

 of all, and must become 

 very valuable as a market 

 berry and a delight in 

 the family garden, as it 

 extends the season of 

 delicious Strawberries 

 far beyond former years. 

 A superb, attractive, very 

 large berry. 60 cts. per 

 doz.; §4.00 per 100. 



Nejxr Home. 



Late, Perfect. 



While offered for the 

 first time, this is by no 

 means an untried novel tv , 

 having been extensively 

 grown for a number of 

 years by one of the most 

 prominent berr}- growers 

 in Maryland, who has 

 this season planted 20 

 acres alone, and who is 

 satisfied that it is the 

 most profitable berry in 

 his collection. Its chief 

 points of merit are ex- 

 treme lateness, great 

 prolificness, uniform 

 large size, long keeping 

 qualities and succeding 

 on all soils, gl 00 per 

 doz.; $8.CH3 per 100. 



President. Late pistiiiate. 



A variety of New Jersey origin introduced two years ago, and 

 which has given perfect satisfaction. In his report of the tests 

 on the grounds of the " Rural New Yorker," the editor in the 

 issue of June 28, 1902. has this to say, and subsequent trials 

 show the same meritorious qualities: "The President led all 

 other varieties in the development of fruits, ever\- plant pro- 

 ducing large clusters, and better still seems inclined to perfect 

 and bring to large size every berry. The color is bright and 

 clear, the flesh firm and the seeds few and widely separated. It 

 is just now (June 12th") ripening, and therefore comes in with 

 such late varieties as Gandy. The quality as grown here is fair 

 but not high, the acidity being quite mild. It is altogether the 

 most promising berry from a market standpoint that we have yet 

 tried." We recommend President for extensive planting. 60 

 cents per doz.; $4.00 per 100 



COLLECTIONS OF NEW STRAWBERRIES. 



Nothing is more interesting than the trj-ing of new Strawberries. The above nine superb new sorts offers an excellent opportunity 



to indulge in this fascinating work ; we offer them as under. 



AntO. Mid-Season, Perfect 



A new variety that promises to become a fixture where 

 strictly highest quality is wanted. It is described as standing 

 at the head of strawberries for large size of fruit, as well as for 

 its sweetness — which makes it one of the very best dessert 

 varieties — healthfulness, vigor and productiveness. Those who 

 have grown it claim that it stands drouth better than most sorts. 

 60 cts. per doz.; ^4.00 per 100. 



Challenge. Mld-Season, Perfect.

 endorsement of some of the best growers in the .West, makes 

 large healthy plants, fruit of large size, color clear dark red all 

 the way through, regular

 and very productive 

 The fruit always com- 

 mands a high price on 

 account of its fine form 

 and color. 60 cts. per 

 doz.; S4.00 per 100. 



Climax. 



Early, Perfect. 



A grand variety which 

 has very quickly become 

 popular with the most 

 critical growers in the 

 East. The plant is a 

 most vigorous and 

 healthy grower, enor- 

 m o u s 1 y productive, of 

 good sized, finely flavored 

 perfectly formed berries, 

 ripening extremely early, 

 on which account it must 

 be considered one of the 

 most valuable of the 

 newer berries. 60 cts. 

 per doz. ; ^4.00 per 1 00. 



Commonwealth. 



Iiate, Perfect.

 originated in Massachu- 

 setts. It matures a week

 ment of many prominent growers this is the coming late berry, 

 and as being the best and most productive of all very late sorts.

Fairfield. Extra Early, Perfect. 



A remarkable exira early variety ripening several days ahead 

 of our other early sorts. It is a choice seedling that has been
