J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— STRAWBERRIES

SENATOR DUNLAP.— For quarts, this va- 

 riety has few equals; and the berries, although 

 not of large size, are attractive and very firm. 

 It is one of the most reliable varieties for a 

 crop, has bright clear foliage and has become 

 exceedingly popular, especially throughout the 

 Middle XVest. Ripens early to midseason. 

 Dozen, 50c.; 100, :^1.50. 



STEVENS' LATE CHAMPION.— A de- 

 scendant of the Gandy. It ripens late and is 

 similar to the Gandy in many respects; except 

 that it 3'ields nearly twice as many quarts of 

 berries upon a given space, and the berries are 

 not so uniform in size and shape and by no 

 means so handsome. One of the most prolific 

 and valuable of the late varieties. Dozen, 50c.; 

 100, $1.50. 



SUCCESS— All things considered, this is 

 one of the best early varieties, both for the 

 home garden and nearby market. Berries 



slightly oblong with blunt end, bright scarlet or 

 flame color, quite large and uniform in size, 

 color and shape. Plants are vigorous, healthy, 

 and very prolific. It is an improved form of 

 the famous Chas. Downing of bygone days 

 The Success has proved to be a decided suc- 

 cess with us. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50. 



WILLIAM BELT.— Of all the Strawber- 

 ries grown in the United States, this variety 



h 



doubtless excels in popularity. The plant is 

 vigorous, though not a rampant grower, suc- 

 ceeds upon almost all soils, invariably yields 

 heavily and the berries are always of large 

 size and highest quality. Its flesh is solid and 

 deep crimson in color, while the blossoms are 

 large with abundance of pollen. It begins to 

 ripen quite early and continues until almost the 

 close of the season; the last berries being large, 

 handsome and fuU-f|avored. Dozen, 50c.; 100, 



POT-GROWN STRAWBERRIES 



These are young vigorous plants, grown in 

 2-inch pots, taken from the pots and 

 shipped with the earth at the roots. They are 

 much preferred by many gardeners and ama- 

 teurs, as they transplant without loss, and if 

 planted in early spring will produce a partial 

 crop of nice berries the first season; especially 

 the fall-bearing varieties. 



JOE, STEVENS' LATE, MARSHALL, 

 WM. BELT.— 75c. per dozen, $5.0() per 100. 



CHESAPEAKE, EARLY JERSEY 

 GIANT.— $1.00 per dozen; $6.00 per 100. 



EVERBEARING (Autumn King, Ideal, 

 Progressive, Superb). — $1.25 per dozen; $7.50 

 per 100. 



FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES 



The fall-bearing or so-styled "Everbearing" 

 Strawberries are interesting and have merit. 

 Fortunately nearly all of them are excellent in 

 quality and give a heavy yield of fruit in June. 

 The subsequent or autumn crop is much less 

 profuse. If, however, the blossoms are faith- 

 fully removed from the plants until the middle 

 to the last of June, the autumn crop will be 

 very greatly improved — both in size of yield 

 and the berries themselves. Aside from re- 

 moving the blossoms by hand picking the cul- 

 ture of these autumn-bearing varieties is the 

 same as other strawberries. 



FRANCIS. — A Fall or Everbearing variety 

 highly esteemed by some growers; especially 

 in the West. The plants are vigorous growers, 

 healthy and prolific, and the fruit is of good 

 size and excellent quality. With us it does not 

 multiply plants at all well. Dozen, 75c.; 100, 

 $2.50. 



IDEAL. — Of recent introduction and is a de- 

 cided improvement upon the older varieties; 

 particularly as a plant maker. The berries, 

 too, are of good size, color and quality and 

 are freely produced. We believe it will be- 

 come very popular in the near future. Dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $3.00. 



LUCKY BOY. — A very prominent straw- 

 berry grower in Maryland has just written us 

 as follows: 'AVithout doubt this is the best 

 ever-bearing strawberry as yet produced. It is 

 the biggest, sweetest and most productive." 



With us it has made a beautiful lot of plants, 

 but we have not had it long enough to test it 

 fully. We regard it as exceedinglv promising. 

 Dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



PEERLESS.— This variety has proved to be 

 a decided disappointment with us. Altliou.uh it 

 gives a splendid crop of fine berries in June, it 

 3nelds so sparingly in autumn we have de- 

 cided to discard it as a fall-bearing variety. 

 We have a large lot of splendid plants of it. 

 Dozen, 50c.; 100. $1.50. 



PROGRESSIVE.— The finest of the Rock- 

 hill varieties and one that has attained wide 

 popularity. The plants are of vigorous habit, 

 with large clean leaves, and they multiply bet- 

 ter than many of the fall-bearing varieties do. 

 and yield profusely; particularly in June. The 

 berries are so smooth and uniform in size and 

 shape they have the appearance of having been 

 made in a mould, are deep crimson, glossv 

 and of fairly good quality but rather "sm^U,
