Gandy's Prize, i,ate, perfect. 



(See colored illustration on Front Cover). 

 A strong, healthy plant, needing rich soil for its 

 perfect development. One of the best berries for late 

 market. Fruit solid and fit for shipment to distant mar- 

 ets. Berry of fine flavor. The berries are borne upon 

 long, strong stalks, well above the ground. "Best when 

 fully ripe," says Mr. i Rudolph Bingham, of Camden, N. 

 J. Mr. Edwin Satterthwaite, the leading grower of 

 Eastern Pennsylvania, has fifteen acres of Gandy straw- 

 berries on his farm at Jenkintown. It is his leading 

 berry at this time. Under his high culture it is a money 

 maker. Walter Yahn, market gardener, Olnev, likes 

 Gandy best. 50 cents per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 

 per 1000. 



GOV. Hoard. Early to Mid-Season, Perfect. 



Originated in Wisconsin, an excellent sort, ripening 

 earlv and continuing in bearing for a longer period than 

 most varieties. On this account it is a good sort to plant 

 in small gardens where only a few plants of one kind is 

 wanted. Abundant cropper, fruit large and of splendid 

 qualitv. 50 cents per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 per 

 1000. ' 



Greenville. 



Mid-Season, Pistillate. 



A very fine sort considered by many an improve- 

 ment on the Bubach. The picture of this fine berry is 

 from a photograph of a box from the patch of Mr. 

 Albert Atkinson, of Three Tuns, Montgomery county, 

 Pa. The plants are thrift}', and this year s crop was very 

 satisfactory. Greenville bore the honors for productive- 

 ness at the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment 

 Station in 1895. Fertilize with May King, Sharpless or 

 other rather early perfect-flowering variety. 50 cents, 

 per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 per 1000. 



Haverland. 



Early, Pistillate. 



A vigorous plant of the Crescent type. Must be 

 fertilized with some perfect flowering sort, as May King 

 or Sharpless. Fruit stalks long. Enormously produc- 

 tive. "First choice decidedly," says William G. Em- 

 bree, a West Chester, Pa., grower. Berries medium to 

 large, of pale scarlet color, of good flavor, and so ex- 

 tremely prolific and showy that the Haverland is a wide 

 favorite for home use or market. Its merits as a cropper 

 make it one of the most profitable sorts. 50 cents per 

 dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 per 1000.
