\/ STRA WBERRIES, 



TENNESSEE PROLIFIC. 



Whilst not 

 strictly a new va- 

 riety this is not 

 generally knovm 

 and has not re- 

 ceive d the at- 

 tention it should. 

 It is already a fa- 

 vorite market 

 sort about Rich- 

 mond, Va., and 

 some other parts 

 of the South and 

 will doubtless 

 prove equally 

 valuable in other 

 locations north- 

 ward. Under good culture the berry equals Bubach in 

 size, color a bright crimson, firm and very good in qual- 

 ity. The plant is excessively productive, a thrifty 

 grower, with foliage that ably withstands the sun's 

 scorching rays of the South. It shows many points of 

 great merit and we think will give satisfaction to many 

 growers. It is one of the few Strawberries that suc- 

 ceed perfectly at the South and possesses the necessary 

 property of being a superior shipper and keeper. Early 

 to midseason^ Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $5.00. 



BISEL (P). 



A very promisil% new variety, much resembling its 

 parent, the Wilson, in earliness, firmness and product- 

 iveness, combined with large size and excellent quality. 

 The plant is all that can be desired in growth, hardi- 

 ness and foliage, being large, robust and productive. 

 The first maintains its large size to the last picking, 

 borne on stout trusses, is very uniform in shape and 

 size and of bright, glossy crimson. Well worthy of trial. 

 Early. Doz.,'§5c; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $7.00. 



V/ BELLE. 



Gives promise of being a profitable late market sort. 

 The berries are very large, long, solid and of very good 

 quality and the plant is an excellent grower and pro- 

 ductive. Berries of this variety have been picked that 

 measured two and thi-ee quarter inches in length and 

 one and a half inches in breadth. Late. Doz., 50c; 

 100, $2.50; 1000, $20.00. 



AUSTRALIAN EVERBEARING. 



For the home gar- 

 den this will be a 

 great acquisition 

 should it prove to 

 be all that is claim- 

 ed for it. It comes 

 into bearing early 

 and is said to con- 

 t i n u e bearing 

 throucfhout the en- 

 ti7'e season until 

 very late. The 

 beri-ies are large, 

 of a glowing crim- 

 son color, firm and 

 of fine, aromatic 

 flavor. The plant 

 is a good grower 

 and, at its home in 

 California, exceed- 

 ingly product- 

 ive. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00.

MARSHALL, 



Among the many new sorts this is one of the most 

 promising, and especially valuable for its excellent 

 quality and flavor; thus very desirable for table use. 

 The plant is strong and luxuriant in growth, product- 

 ive, and its foliage withstands hot suns well. The fruit 

 is uniformly large and of perfect form, dark crimson 

 when fully ripe, but colors up all over before ripe, an 

 advantage where shipment to mai'ket is concerned. 

 Doz., 75c; 100^$3.00; 1,000, $20.00. 



V GARDNER. 



From Iowa comes this very promising new Straw- 

 berry, where it was found, an accidental seedling. Its 

 many good points stand out so prominently that there 

 is little doubt but that it will soon occupy a foremost 

 place in the list of profitable sorts. The plant grows 

 well, is strong, robust and healthy. In productiveness 

 it is excelled by few varieties and it sets fully as much 

 fruit as does Parker Earle. The berries are large, crim- 

 son, veiy firm, and of excellent quality. In firmness 

 and ability to hold up well in shipping it is one of the 

 best, and market growers will find it unsurpassed for 

 shipping to distant markets. Its productiveness and 

 general adaptability to all soils leads us to regard it as 

 a profitable vai'iety also, and the same good qualities 

 render it desirable for home use. Early. Doz., 50c; 

 100, $2.00; 1,00, $15.00. 



OTSEGO (P), 



A comparatively new variety valuable for its large 

 size, beautiful color and good flavor. The plant is 

 strong and hardy, and seems to adapt itself to all soils. 

 The fruit is abundant, large, round, bright scarlet, and 

 good. We think it will give abundant satisfaction and 

 can I'ecommend it as being very deserving of a careful 

 and extended trial. Midseason to late. Doz., 50c; 100, 

 $2.00; 1000, $15.00. 



IOWA BEAUTY 



Unfortunately our plants of this superior variety be- 

 came, in some unaccountable manner, mixed at plant- 

 ing time and we are, theref oi-e, unable to ofl'er it this 

 year. We shall grow a supply the coming season from 

 our trial grounds and in future will doubtless be able 

 to supply all demands.
