CALIFORNIA. 



troducer of this experi 

 mented with about 30,00( 

 hybrids out of which he 

 chose 84 as being worth- 

 while saving to carry on 

 the experiment. Four 

 years ago he finally fixed 

 the characteristics of seven 

 of these 84 in a sufficient 

 degree to consider them 

 fit for introduction. The 

 choicest of these, in his 

 opinion, he named Cali- 

 fornia, in honor of his 

 state, as the peer of them 

 all. California is a heav}- 

 producer of large berries 

 of the finest flavor and 

 aroma. The plants are 

 very hardi'. free from all 

 diseases, altogether con- 

 sidered by the originator 

 the culmination of his 35 

 years of effort in produc- 

 ing finer varieties through 

 hvbridizing. Dozen, $1.25: 

 100. $7.50. 



CHESAPEAKE —A splendid variety but to be at its best 

 should be grown on rich loamy soil and given 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, 

 quality very good. Plants vigorous and healthy with large 

 foliage. They multiply sparingly. ^^lidseason until quite late. 

 If one has rich soil and will cultivate it freely, it is an ex- 

 cellent kind. Dozen, $1.25; 100, $7.50. 



COLLINS. — A long season berry that is at its best when 

 most midsummer varieties stop bearing and before the late 

 varieties reach the height of their bearing season. This 

 proves a wonderful acquisition to the man who desires a 

 constant supply of high class berries. Being firm, it is 

 equall}^ useful as a shipper. Dozen. $1.25; 100, $7.50. 



GANDY. — Almost ever}- berry grower knows this old and 

 trusted friend. It was introduced b}' us thirty-four years 

 ago and has been largely grown ever since. The texture is 

 of the firmest and the color a bright flame. After picking, 

 this bright color remains until decay. Although the berries 

 are large to very large, the flavor is rather acid and not of 

 the highest quality. It is late to very late in ripening. 



GENERAL LIST OF VARIETIES 



Price, pot-grown plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00, except 

 as noted. On lots of 500 plants or more of any one 

 variety we will grant a special discount of 10% 



BARRYMORE. — A superb variety, as illustrated to left. 

 The bluntly conical berries are of large size, beautiful to 

 look upon, firm and meaty, and are of surpassing quality 

 — rich and sugary. The color is rich dark crimson (which 

 it holds unchanged after picked), with glossy surface; the 

 flesh is deep red. Valuable alike for the home garden 

 and for market growing. Midseason to late. 



BRANDYWINE.— One of the few old midseason va- 

 rieties that has lost none of its popularity due to its gen- 

 eral adaptability. The plants produce vast quantities of 

 uniformly large, bright crimson berries that are not only 

 firm enough for shipment but of good quality as well. 

 Rather exacting, however, in that it demands deep rich 

 soil, well manured, in order to give best results. 

 BUSHEL BASKET.— x\fter having fruited it for two sea- 

 sons, we consider this one of the very finest varieties intro- 

 duced in many years. We realized it must have unusual 

 merit when it was awarded the Barry Gold Aledal, but we are 

 frank to state we did not expect to have it prove so remark- 

 ably fine as it has. It is an immense plant, fruiting in mid- 

 season, and the fruit, though unusuallv large, is freely pro- 

 duced and of high quality. Dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00. 



CAMPBELL'S EARLY. 



BUSHEL BASKET 



— An extra early variety 

 grown very extensively in 

 the southern part of New 

 Jersey. The berries which 

 are uniform in size and 

 shape throughout the sea- 

 son, are bluntly conical, 

 lirm for an early variety 

 and bright flame crimson 

 in color. Plant a strong 

 robust grower and very 

 prolific. Highly com- 

 mended by State Horti- 

 cultural Society.
