CRESCENT f PA— Very few varieties are so 

 productive as this and none 

 succeed better under neglect. 

 The plant Is most vigorous, and 

 for best results should not be 

 allowed to mat closely. The 

 berries are medium to small in 

 size, rather poor quality and a 

 little soft for shipment. Bright 

 scarlet and attractive. Early. 

 Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $2.50. 



GANDY ( First Season A —The best late straw- 

 berry yet Introduced and 

 the leading late variety with 

 fruit growers all over the 

 country. In size and firm- 

 ness it is all that can be de- 

 sired, and In vigor of plant 

 and growth It is eminently 

 satisfactory. The berries 

 are large, very uniform, of 

 bright crimson color, hand- 

 some and showy, Arm and 

 of good quality. Requires 

 good soil and culture, and with these it cannot be 

 excelled as a late berry for size, beauty and gen- 

 eral appearance. It will be found highly profitable 

 for a fancy market. Late to very late. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 75c; 1000, $3.50.

 conical, pale scarlet, rather soft, but of extra 

 high quality. Midseason. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00;

 profitable variety for a near 

 market by reason of its great 

 productiveness. The plant is 

 an excellent grower and has 

 clean, healthy foliage. Ber- 

 ries are large, long with 

 rounded apex, of a bright 

 glossy crimson, good quality, 

 moderately firm. It has been 

 largely planted for market

 y Kentucky.- An old popular late sort, very 

 productive and of fine quality, 

 but too soft for long sbiimtnts. 

 The plant is a good grov er, and, 

 like the Downing, succeeds on 

 all soil and under almost all 

 conditions. Excellent lor the 

 family gardtn. Other late sorts 

 are, however, taking its place 

 and It is In much less demand 

 now than some ytars ago. Dcz„ 

 35c; 100, 75c; 1000, $3 00. 



VMeek's Early.— The best extra early and 

 the earliest good strawberry. It is larger than 

 Hoffman and Michael's Early, Arm and good in 

 quality. Plant is a large, thrifty grower with 

 clean, bright foliage. Such a very early sort is val-

 mend it to those seeking an extra early variety.

den and most 



market growing that has yet 

 been introduced, chiefly by 

 reason of its productiveness, 

 firmness, and bright fresh color. 

 The plant is an excellent grow- 

 er with clean bright foliage 

 that shows not a trace of rust, 

 and it is very productive. The 

 berries are large, and very uni- 

 form in size and shape, bright Icrlmson, firm, and 

 when fully ripe are of good quality. It colors up 

 all over before being fully ripe and when picked 

 in this condition will carry long distances and 

 "stand up" for a long time in fine order. It ripens 

 early and continues in. bearing a long time. We 

 have received most favorable reports of this variety 

 from almost every State in the Union. We will 

 print but the one following, which was not sent to 

 us but to another nurseryman, as all are of the 

 same tenor and purport: 



"I purchased last August, six hundred pot- 

 ted strawberry plants as follows: Two hundred 

 each of Cumberland, Parker Earle and Lovett's 

 Early. Tosiyl am pleased with results does not 

 express my pleasure. Just fancy a back-door berry 

 patch, 31x40, yielding in ten months three hundred 

 quarts, and giving me a profit of $43.00. I could 

 n t ask or expect more. My favorite is the Lov- 

 ett's Early, which yielded me two-thirds of the 

 total, or one quart to a plant; they were first and 

 last, or one month in bearing. Too much praise- 

 cannot be given this variety. I think it to be the 

 climax of strawberries." — James H. Ackley, 

 Duchess Co., N. Y. July 5th, 1893.

^Michel's Early (Osceola).— Adapted to the 

 South. It is of the Crescent type of berry with a 

 vigorous and healthy plant. Here it is small and- 

 does not always bear well but its earllness and 

 firmness render it valuable in suitable locations. 

 Extra early. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $3.00.

 either for home use or maruet. 

 It forms a stocky plant; clean 

 bright foliage withstanding hot 

 suns. Berries large, long, reg- 

 ular and uniform, crimson, mod- 

 erately firm and good. It suc- 

 ceeds on all soils and yields enor- 

 mously. It is remarkable for its

 drought and to flourish and bear
