THREE WS.— A Tennessee variety that has 

 made many friends in all parts of the country 

 and is rapidly gaining popularity. And Avell it 

 may; for it is so sweet it can be enjoyed without 

 sugar; an abundant bearer of large, beautiful ber- 

 ries for a very loiig season — from early midseason 

 until the latest — and is remarkably firm. The 

 color is deep crimson throughout. The texture 

 is so meaty and the surface so tough it can be 

 kept longer after picked and shipped a greater dis- 

 tance i» good condition than almost any other 

 ^ai-iety. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



r. S. KING EDWARD.— Originated in Ohio and 

 described by a grower in Massachusetts as fol- 

 lows: "It is the righ man's berry, poor man's 

 )rry, lazy man's berry and the market man's

berry. If one wishes to grow the largest number 

 of quarts to the acre this is the berry to grow 

 every time. It is not one of those large, coarse, 

 over large berries, but of uniform size throughout 

 the season ; indeed, every berry looks as though 

 they were all run in the same mould. They are 

 a very attractive, Mght scarlet color. . . . The 

 ])lant is a strong staminate variety and is just 

 loaded with fruit. Quarts, quarts, quarts; as 

 thick as cultivated Cranberries. It is a mortgage 

 lifter. Unfortunately there are two Strawberries 

 by this name. King Edward. One originated in 

 England and the best one in America. You want 

 the U. S. King Edward because it is the best."

This is to Certify, That I have this 23d day 

 of September. 1912, inspected the general 

 nursery stock growing on the Monmouth Nur- 

 series, J. T. Lovett, Proprietor, at Little Sil- 

 ver, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, and 

 have found the same apparently free from 

 San Jose Scale and otlier dangerously injuri- 

 out insect pests ; also that the examined stock 

 seemed healthy. 



I Further Certify. That the nursery has a 

 properly constructed house, 16x10x6% feet, 

 for fumigating with hydrocyanic acid gas, 

 upon which I have marked the quantity of 

 cyanide of potassium required for an effective 

 charge. 



This certificate expires June 1st, 1913, and 

 covers only such stock actually on the nur- 

 series when examined.

WM. BELT.— Of all the Strawberries grown in 

 the United States, this variety doubtless excels 

 in popularity to-day; and well it may, for it is 

 a superb sort. The plant is vigorous, though not 

 a rampant grower, succeeds upon almost all soils, 

 invariably yields very heavily and the berries 

 are always of large size and high 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 full-flavored. Indeed, 

 it is a king among Strawberries, as it is firm and 

 among the largest — many of the berries being 

 of great size — and gives large pickings for a longer 

 period than almost anv other variety. Dozen, 

 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 



Of herbaceous habit, with a mass of deep green 

 foliage and large, pure white blossoms. It pro- 

 duces ripe berries from early in July until frost. 

 These are sparkling crimson, of globular shape 

 and often of great size. In the fresh state the 



fruit lacks flavor; when cooked, however, it is ex- 

 cellent. Mixed with such varieties as the Cardi- 

 nal Raspberry and cooked, it is simplv delicious. 

 Dozen, $1.00;' 100, $5.00. By mail at 'dozen rates 

 if preferred. 



Guilford Co., N. C, April 18, 1012. 

 The ])lants came yesterday in good condition: I 

 feel proud of them. The plants all seem to be 

 the cream of the berry world.
