"" DR. BURRILL (Early, Perfect) 



This new variety is very highly praised by the experts 

 because of its wonderful vigor. Having a very strong 

 root system, it is not easily affected by drouth, its foliage 

 is extra heavy and substantial, making it almost immune 

 from leaf diseases. 



The fruit is a deep glossy red, while the flesh is solid 

 and rich. We have great faith in this variety and recom- 

 mend it for extensive trial. 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 

 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



EARI.Y JERSEY GIANT 



(Early, Perfect) 



This is one of Dr. Van Fleet's hybrids, the result of 

 crossing some of the finest European varieties with the 

 best American sorts, resulting in a variety which ripens 

 with the earlies;. Berries very large, brilliant, scarlet 

 crimson, conical, with pointed tip, colors all over at once, 

 has a delightful aroma and mild wild strawberry flavor. 

 The plant is a strong grower and heavy yielder. 85 cts. 

 per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



GANDY'S PRIZE (Late, Perfect) 



The standard late variety, which has held its own for 

 many years, and by which every new late berry is judged. 

 It is a strong healthy grower, but needs a rich soil for its 

 perfect development. The berries are borne on long, 

 strong stalks, well above the ground, a variety that is 

 hard to beat. 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 

 per 1000. 



■^ GI^EN MARY 



(Mid-season to Late, imperfectly B!-sexuaI) 



Described by a large grower as follows : "I have known it 

 since its first bearing, and firmly believe it deserves the title of 

 'the berry grower's money maker.' " It makes a very strong 

 plant, but few of them. This reduces the cost of keeping the 

 row in proper shape for fruiting. Its roots are enormous, en- 

 abling it to ripen its great crop of monster berries in the dryest 

 season. 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



trUPTON (Late, Perfect) 



The introducers of this new berry claim it has no equal for 

 solidity, and because of its extraordinary substance is an ideal 

 berry for preserving. Add to this the fact that it is very pro- 

 lific, producing lavish quantities of large brilliant red, smooth- 

 surfaced, glossy berries of high flavor, it will be found extremely 

 desirable and valuable. 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 

 per 1000. 



MARSIIAI.L 



(Early to Mid-season, Perfect) 



This is one of the finest berries grown. It is so well and 

 favorably known that it is almost useless to describe it. The 

 plant is large and stocky; a vigorous grower and a good bearer. 

 One of the earliest of the very large varieties, and it usually 

 matures all its fruit. The berry is very large, of regular form, 

 dark, glossy red, very beautiful and of fine quality. It is the 

 great berry in New England, and no grower can afford to 

 leave out the Marshall. 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100 1 

 $50.00 per 1000. 



NICK OHMER 



(Mid-season to Late, Perfect) 



Mammoth size, beautiful color, and great productiveness. 

 The plant is exceedingly vigorous, with clean, healthy 

 foliage, without the slightest tendency to rust. A perfect 

 giant among strawberries — roundish-conical in form, uni- 

 form and regular; rich, glossy crimson, firm and solid, 

 excellent in quality, and average large to the very last 

 picking. 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 

 1000. 



OREAM 



(Very late. Perfect) 



Recommended by the introducers for the immense size 

 of its berries, which are very freely produced. 



In comparing it with that grand late variety, Gahdy's 

 Prize, it is claimed to ripen at the same time and to con- 

 tinue in fruit long after the Gandy's are past, thus length- 

 ening the Spring Strawberry season a week or ten davs. 

 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



U- 



PREMIER 



(Very Early, Perfect) 



The introducer says: "Last year Premier began ripen- 

 ing berries fully a week earlier than any other variety 

 and continued to bear heavily for over four weeks, the 

 last picking being as good as the first." 



A prominent grower, referring to the above, says that 

 he has fruited this variety only one season, but judging 

 from that he agrees with the introducer that it is one of 

 the most wonderful very early varieties he has ever seen. 

 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000.
