^ COLUMBIA (P).— Has been termed "Gandy 

 Improved" and said to be "a much stronger plant 

 with wonderfully strong fruit stems. The fruit 

 is as fine as the finest Gandys, the season the 

 same and fully twice as productive." It yielded 

 at the rate of 10.000 quarts per acre at the X. Y. 

 Experimental Station. To say it is an improved 

 Gandy is saying a vast deal— to claim it will 

 yield twice as much per acre caps the climax. 

 Enough .said. Dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $6.00. 



/DARLINGTON.— A Xew -Jersey variety and sup- 

 posed to be a seedling of the Gandy, though its 

 parentage is unknown. It has been largely grown 

 for a number of years in the vicinity of its origin 

 but was not in commerce until the past year. 

 The berries are of fine size and form, deep red in 

 color and very firm. Claimed to "excel the Gandy 

 in size, vigor and vield." Dozen, 25c.; 100, 75c.: 

 1.000, $4.00. 



^ORNAN (Uncle Jim). — A strong growing va- 

 riety that gives a heavy yield of exceedingly large, 

 coarse berries, even in a dry season and upon 

 ordinarily fertile soil. The berries are of high 

 color, firm and pretty good quality. Season me- 

 dium to late. I grew this some years ago and 

 later dropped it, but have had so many calls for 

 it that I have again grown a stock of it. Thought 

 to be identical with "Wonder." Dozen, 25c.; 100, 

 75c.; 1,000, $5.00. 



lARLY OZARK. — A grand grower, with large 

 dark green, leathery leaf. It is as early as Ex- 

 celsior* or the extremely early but small Michael's 



Early, and almost as large as Gandy or any of 

 the other fine late varieties. The berries are al- 

 most round and bright red in color. Plant of 

 extremely strong growth and never rusts or scalds. 

 In addition to all the above, and above all, the 

 variety is enormously prolific. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 

 60j^, 1,000, $3.50. 



FAIRDALE GIANT.— The originator says: 'Tt 

 ripens one week in advance of Gandy and Stevens' 

 Late Champion. Their handsome appearance and 

 unusual large size make them a profit producer. 

 We can truthfully say that Fairdale Giant is the 

 largest variety we have out of about thirty difl"er- 

 ent kinds. Its flavor is the best, being of a sweet 

 richness that cannot fail to tickle the palate." 

 Dozen. 25c.; 100. 75c.; 1.000, $5.00. 



FEND ALL (P).— A Southern child of a worthy 

 Northern parent — a seedling of Wm. Belt, from 

 Baltimore County, Maryland. Wm. Belt is so fine 



that a few years ago, if confined to a single va- 

 riety, it would have been the one chosen. Fendall 

 surpasses its parent in size, flavor, beauty and uni- 

 formity. It also gives a longer season of fruit 

 and produces nearly double the quajatity of quarts 

 per acre. This is, indeed, claiming a great deal — 

 yet not too much. It has yielded at the rate of 

 nearly seventeen thousand quarts per acre. The 

 berries are smooth and glossy, of firm, meaty tex- 

 ture and exceedingly full and rich in flavor. Plant 

 of strong growth, with great power to resist 

 drought. Midseason until very late. Dozen, 25c.; 

 100, 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



FIRST QUALITY.— In this we have what is 

 very unusual in a Strawberry, namely, high qual- 

 ity and large yield. It has not as yet fruited 

 with me, but gathering from what other growers 

 say of it the berries are long and pointed like 

 the Haverland, brilliantly colored, of medium to 

 large size, firm and of a distinct, exceedingly high 

 quality. The plants are vigorous and free from 

 rust, with very strong, tall fruit stems that hold 

 the berries a])0ve the foliage in full view. It is 

 claimed it will yield double the crop of Brandy- 

 wine or Gandy and is very valuable for both the 

 home garden or market. Season medium to late. 

 Dozen, 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1,000, $5.00. 



^^REMONT WILLIAMS.— A variety that has 

 been highly commended by many growers in the 

 west — it has not as yet fruited at ^lonmouth. 

 Described as giving dark red conical berries that 

 are uniform, firm and of high quality, plants vig- 

 orous and prolific. Season late. Dozen, 25c. ; 100, 

 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



LUCK. — "As large as the Gandy but a 

 few days earlier and more productive. In form 

 it is broad, wedged shaped but uniformly smooth 

 with an even surface — never seamed or ridged. 

 Color dark red and glossy, making it very showy." 

 Dozen, 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1,000. $5.00. 



Macomb Co., Mich.. April 9, 1912. 

 I have received the berry plants, the biggest 

 plants I have ever received by mail and the big- 

 gest count. Yours after this and many thanks.
