STRAWBERRIES 



For rates of postage by parcel post, see page I of the catalog. Thousand lots will be shipped 

 by express only. 



For hill culture in the family garden, plant in rows two feet apart and the plants a foot 

 apart in the row, cutting off all runners as they appear. If to be allowed to grow in matted 

 rows, set the plants in rows three feet apart and the plants one foot apart in the rows. 



For field culture, to be cultivated with horse and hoe-harrow, plant in rows three and a 

 half feet apart and the plants one foot apart in the rows; requiring 12,445 plants per acre. 



Each variety offered has perfect flowers and does not need the association of any other 

 variety in order to be fruitful. Do not order less than a dozen of a variety, as a reliable 

 test cannot be made with a less number. Fifty of a variety will be supplied at the 100 rate 

 and 500 of a variety at the 1,000 rate. Less than fifty of a variety must go at the dozen rate 

 and less than 500 of a variety must go at the hundred rate. 



CHESAPEAKE.— Upon soil and under con- 

 ditions that suit it, this is' indeed a wonderful 

 variety. It will not succeed upon thin, sandy 

 soil, but requires loam or clay-loam, and de- 

 mands high culture. The berries are very large 

 and beautiful, with smooth, even surface and 

 prominent seeds. The color is bright lively crim- 

 son, and the prevailing form is _ heart-shaped 

 with pointed tip. Flesh firm, quality very good. 

 Plants vigorous and healthy with large foliage, 

 but multiply sparingly. Midseason until quite 

 late. If one has the right kind of land and will 

 give it high culture, it is exceedingly profitable. 

 A number of growers in the vicinity of Little 

 Silver have made small fortunes from it during 

 the past few years. The berries, which were 

 largely sold in Red Bank, have been so fine, it 

 has been given the name of "Pride of Red Bank" 

 in the markets there. Dozen, 45c.; 100, $1.50; 

 1,000, $10.00. 



\/ EDMUND WILSON. — A striking unique 

 strawberry and strictly an amateur — not a com- 

 mercial variety. The plants resemble potato 

 vines in size and vigor; the berries are as large 



ful 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. 

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

 • BRAND YWINE.— An old and popular va- 

 riety of general adaptability. The berries are 

 large, bluntly conical, uniform bright crimson, 

 firm and of good flavor. Plant of vigorous 

 growth and prolific. For good results, it requires 

 deep, rich soil and plenty of manure. Midseason. 

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



CAMPBELL'S EARLY. — A variety from 

 Cumberland County, N. J., the home of the 

 Gandy, and is claimed to be as valuable as an 

 early variety as is the Gandy as a late one. The 

 berries, which are exceptionally uniform in size 

 and shape throughout the season, are bluntly 

 conical, firm for an early variety and bright flame 

 crimson in color. Plant a strong, robust grower 

 and very prolific. Highly commended at the 

 meeting of our State Horticultural Society and 

 bv a number of growers we have met. Dozen, 

 35c.; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $6.00. 



' EARLY OZARK.— Until the appearance of 

 Early Jersey Giant, this was our best early va- 

 riety. It is a splendid growing plant with healthy 

 leaf and a profuse yielder. Succeeds everywhere, 

 even at the south where many excellent varieties 

 fail. It is among the very first to ripen and the 

 berries are of fairly good size, are bright crim- 

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



as small apples or oranges. Form globular or 

 bluntly heart-shaped, of deep maroon color with 

 smooth surface and quite firm. Upon good soil 

 the plants attain a height of twelve to fifteen 

 inches, with a spread of fully a foot, and are eiior- 

 mously prolific. Ripens in midseason. Dozen, 

 Oc; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $12.00. 



GANDY.— Introduced by us in 1888 and 

 now perhaps more largely grown than any other 

 variety. It ripens late to very late, and the 

 berries are large to very large, bluntly conical, 

 of firmest texture and bright flame color — which 

 color they retain until they decay; but in flavor 

 it is rather acid and not of the highest quality. 

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