For rates of postage for shipment by parcel post, see table. Rates of plants by the thou- 

 sand will be given upon request. 



For hill culture in the family garden, plant in rows two feet apart and the plants a foot 

 apart in the row, cutting oft all runners as the\- appear. If to be allowed to grow in mattecf 

 rows, set the plants in rows three feet apart and the plants one foot apart in the rows. 



For field culture, to be cultivated with horse and hoe harrow, plant in rows three and a 

 half feet apart and the plants one foot apart in the rows, requiring 12,445 plants per acre. 



All the varieties offered, except Glen Mar\-, have perfect fiowers and do not need the 

 association of any other varietv in order to be fruitful. 



Do not order less than a dozen of a variety, as a reliable test cannot be made with a less 

 number. Fifty of a variet}* will be supplied at the hundred rate, but less than fifty of a va- 

 riety must go at the dozen rate. 



The plants we have to offer this year are remarkably fine — never have had finer ones — 

 but, unfortunately, our supply is much less than in former jears. 



BARRYMORE— A superb variety, 

 bluntly conical berries are of large size, 



The 

 beau- 



succeed upon thin, sandy soil, but requires 

 loam or clay-loam and demands high culture. 

 The berries are uniform and beautiful, with 

 smooth, even surface and prominent seeds. 

 The color is bright, lively crimson and the 

 orevailing form is heart-shaped. Flesh firm, 

 quality ver^- good. Plants vigorous and healthy 

 with large foliage, but multiply sparingly. 

 Midseason until quite late. If one has the 

 right kind of land and will give it high cul- 

 ture, it is an excellent kind, otherwise it is 

 better to plant some other variety. Dozen, 

 mc: 100. $2.00. 



BRANDYWINE.— An old and popular va- 

 riet}' of general adaptability. The berries are 

 large, uniform, bright crimson, firm and of 

 good flavor. Plant of vigorous growth and 

 prolific. For good results it requires deep, 

 rich soil and plentv of manure. Midseason.

CHESAPEAKE (Pride of Red Bank).— 



L'pon soil and under conditions that suit it. 

 this is indeed a wonderful variety. It will not 



Hybrid, introduced by the Monmouth Nursery 

 and decidedly the finest and best early va- 

 riety. As a matter of fact, there is no known 

 variety that ripens earlier and no variety 

 yielding large berries that comes anywhere 

 near it in earliness. It is also brilliant scarlet- 

 crimson in color, and exceptionally firm; by 

 far the firmest of all early varieties. 



Berries very large, conical with pointed tip. 

 colors all over at once, has delightful aroma 

 and rich, mild wild strawberry flavor. Large, 

 light green cah'x or "burr." hence exceedingly 

 show\' and attractive. Blossoms, large, open 

 rather late and staminate. Plant a strong 

 grower with large leaves on long, pliant stems 

 and a heavv vielder. The largest and best verv 

 earlv varietv' Dozen. 70c.: 100. $2.00.
