BLAINE. — "A promising sort and one we find comes 

 right up to the old Gandy and in some respects is 

 ahead of it; plant large; berries as large as the largest, 

 with good color. Firm enough to carry anywhere." 

 Doz.. 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $5.00. 



FENDELL (P). — A southern child of worth— north- 

 ern parents — a seedling from Baltimore County, Md., of 

 \Vm. Belt. Wm. Belt is so fine that in the past, if 



confined to a single variety, it would have been the 

 one chosen. Fendell is superior to its celebrated pare.it 

 being larger in size, finer in flavor, of greater beauty 

 and more uniform; superior in habit of plant, gives a 

 Ijnger season of fruit and yields nearly double the 

 quantity of fruit. This is indeed, claiming a vast deal. 

 It has yielded at the rate of sixteen thousand eight 

 hundred quarts per acre. The berries are smooth and 

 gloss}-, of firm meaty texture and exceedingly full and 

 rich in flavor. The plant is of strong, remarkable vigor- 

 ous habit with clean, bright foliage and with unusual 

 power to resist drought. (See cut). Doz., 30c; 100, 

 80c; 1,000, $6.00. 



FLORELLA. — An early, exceedingly prolific and 

 profitable berry. A seedling of Bubach, pollenized by 

 Lady Thompson. It stands drought and hot sun better 

 than any other variety. Foliage dark green, free from 

 rust and looms up like a giant. Its root system is very 

 large, sending out large fibrous roots to a great dis- 

 tance. Berries large to ver>' large, crimson color ail 

 over, of fine flavor. Fruit stalks long and berries held 

 up from the dirt, very prolific and a good plant maker. 

 Season of ripening is as early as Lady Thompson. 

 Its firmness commends it to the commercial grower, and 

 its fine flavor places it in the front rank as a table 

 berrj-. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1,000, $5.00. 



GANDY.— Introduced by me in 1888 and now more 

 largely grown than any other variety. It ripens late 

 to very late — and the berries are large to very large, 

 bluntly conical, of the firmest texture and bright flame- 

 colored— which color they retain until they decay; but 

 m flavor it is rather acid and not of highest quality. 

 It is very nearly perfect in vigor and growth of plant 

 yet it is but moderately productive, except under 

 high culture and upon ver>' moist soil. It originated 

 m a meadow in South Jersey and its peculiarities are 

 its preference for very moist land and the fact that it 

 usually yields more bountifully the second than the 

 first year. Doz., 25c; 100, 60c; 1,000, $4.00. 



GEN. DE WET.— .V very late variety produced by the 

 originator of Oom Paul. Plant approaches perfection 

 in vigor and habit and is very prolific. The fruit stems 

 are strong and sturdy, well able to bear up the heavy 

 load of fruit the Gen. Ue Wet always brings forth. 



The fruit is of immense size, fine snape and color; dark 

 red and very glossy. It never rusts, is a superb grower 

 and the fruit is large and beautiful. Doz., 25c; 100, 

 75c; 1,000, $5.00. 



GLADSTONE. — Has all the merits of the grand old 

 Sharpless — great size, handsome appearance and mild 

 rich flavor — with added productiveness. It is similar 

 to the Sharpless in growth of plant and ripens at the 

 same time — midseason — and may justly be termed an 

 "Improved Sharpless." Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1,000, $4.00. 



MORNING STAR. — The largest and finest Straw- 

 berry as yet fully tested that rirjens early. Berry verj- 



large, broadly conical with blunt apex bright scarlet- 

 crimson, exceptionally uniform in size and shape. Plant 

 a strong grower, very healthy and a reliable yielder. It 



is exceptionally firm for an early berry; and best of 



all, of finest flavor; rich and sugar}-, (oee cut). Doz., 



25c; 100, 75c; 1,000, $4.00. 



OOM PAUL. — One of the very largest of strawberries. 



The berries are roundish-conical in shape, of a bright 



glossy crimson, firn. a:. : ltd quality-. It is so 

 large, six berries of it have been known to fill a quart, 

 and it never runs small at the last pickmgs. The plant 

 is large and robust, dark green, clean foliage, and ex- 

 ceedingly prolific for such a large berry. (See cut\ 

 Doz.. 25c; 100, 60c; 1,000, $4.00.
