CHESAPEAKE 



Upon soil and under conditions that exactly 

 suit it, this is indeed a wonderful variety. It 

 will not succeed upon thin, sand\- 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 prevailing 

 form is heart-shaped. Flesh firm, qualit}- very 

 good. Plants vigorous and healthy with large 

 foliage but multiply sparingly. Midseason uniil 

 quite late. If one has the right kind of land 

 and will give it high culture, it is an excellent 

 variety ; otherw^'se, it is better to plant some 

 other variety. Dozen. 6oc. ; lOO, S4.00. 



EARLY OZARK 



Until the appearance of Karly Jersey (jiant, 

 this was our best very early variety. It is among 

 the very first to ripen and the berries are of 

 fairly good size, bright crimson color, slightly 

 conical, quite firm and of excellent quality. Plants 

 healthy, multiply to excess unless checked and 

 are very prolific. 



GANDY 



Introduced by us in 1888 and very largely 

 grown in recent years. It ripens late to very 

 late — and the berries are large to ver>' large, 

 bluntly conical, of the firmest texture and bright 

 flame-colored — which color they retain until they 

 decay : but in flavor it is rather acid and not of 

 the highest quality. It_ is nearly perfect 



in vigor and growth of plant, yet it is but a 

 moderately productive variety, except under high 

 culture and upon moist soil. 



HUNDRED DOLLAR 



A very valuable midseason variety. The claim 

 of the introducer that "There is not another 

 variety of Strawberry that will outyield this 

 giant or surpass it in quality" has been fulfilled 

 to a large degree at Monmouth. The plant is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, and among the most 

 prolific. It ripens in midseason, the berries 

 average very large, the color is light scarlet and 

 the quality mild, sweet and luscious. It is not 

 very firm — not firm enough for long shipment. 

 There are indeed few varieties more valuable 

 for nearby markets or for the home garden. It 

 reminds us of the famous Chas. Downing of 

 forty years ago, but is superior to that grand old 

 variety, even in its palmy day. 



"Plants received this A.M. seem to be in fine condition. 

 Will set them out at once and report results later." — /. 

 Laming (N. Y.). 



"Th*" strawberry plants arrived last Thursday evening 

 in excellent condition. They were planted on Friday 

 and promise to do well." — Mrs. C. George Currie (X. H.).
