GANDY. — Introduced by me in 1888 and now 

 more largely grown than any other variety. It 

 ripens late to very late — and the berries are large 

 to very large, bluntly conical, of the firmest tex- 

 ture 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 very 

 nearly perfect in vigor and growth of plant, yet 

 it is but a moderately productive variety, except 

 under high culture and upon very moist soil. It 

 originated in a meadow in South Jersey and its 

 peculiarities are its preference for very moist land 

 and the fact that it usually yields more bounti- 

 fully the second than the first year. Dozen, 25c.; 

 100, 60c.; 1,000, $3.00. 



i / GOLDEN GATE.— A fancy midseason berry, yet 

 Va strong growing and prolific variety. The foliage 

 is so large that single leaves measure nine inches 

 across. The berries are of the Marshall type, large 

 deep crimson, beautiful, firm and of high quality. 

 It colors all over with no green tip — and is so 

 prolific that twenty quarts can be grown to one 

 of the Marshall upon like spaces of land. Plant 

 very vigorous, without spot or blemish, and en- 

 dures drought better than other sorts. Awarded 

 first premium by the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society, and special premium for the best four 

 quarts of any variety. It is of superior quality 

 and so large that seven selected berries fill a quart 

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



/grand marie.— Another of Mr. S child's fig- 

 type berries that I have fully tested and I am 

 pleased to state I can endorse his description of 

 it which follows: "A large, hardy plant with up- 

 right habits of growth and well-balanced root 

 system. Stolons strong, making an abundance of 

 plants. Berry tapers to a point, even and smooth, 

 firm and sweet; color dark red clear through, 

 large to very large ; can remain on plant several 

 days after fully ripe, remaining rich and sweet, 

 of the nature of figs. Very prolific. Season 

 medium to late." Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, 

 , $4.00. 



V HERITAGE.— A grand and a most profitable 

 Strawberry and one that gives a long season — 

 from early to late. The berries are of great size, 



often ridged or seamed, bright crimson, very firm 

 and of superb quality. The plants are perfection 

 in growth, free from blemish and very, very pro- 

 lific, but, like other varieties that give a large 

 yield of large berries, it demands good soil and 

 good culture. Highly commended by the New Jer- 

 sey State Horticultural Society. An excellent sort 

 for the home garden as well as a very profitable 

 variety for market. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, 

 $4.00.
