Little Silver, N. J. 



FEND ALL (P).— I will have no plants of this 

 choice variety for sale until another season. 



G ANDY— Introduced by me in 1888 and now 

 more largely gro^vn than any other variety. It 

 ripens late to very late— and the berries are large 

 to very large, blimtly 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 ptroductive variety, except 

 under high cultiue 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 vear. Dozen, 25c.; 

 100* 60c.; 1,000, S3.00.

GOLDEN GATE.— A fancy midseason berry, a 

 strong growing and prolific variety. 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 

 two quarts can be grown to one of the Mar- 

 shall upon like spaces of land. Plant very vig- 

 orous, without spot or blemish, and endures 

 drought better than other sorts. It is of supe- 

 rior quality and so large that seven selected ber- 

 ries fill a 'quart basket. Dozen. 25c.; 100, 60c.; 

 1,000, $4.00. 



Small Fruit Plants 



HERITAGE. — A long season variety — from 

 early until late — and a most profitable Straw- 

 berry. The berries are large, many of them very 

 large, and the yield is hea\-y. The quality is 

 good and the texture firm, but unfortunately 

 many of the berries are ridged and seamed and 

 the color is not very bright; hence, it does not 

 present an attractive appearance in market. How- 

 ever, the plants are so vigorous and healthy and 

 yield so bountifully it has much value. An ex- 

 cellent sort for the home garden. Dozen, 25c.; 

 100. 60c.; 1.000. S3. 50. 



HUB. — This Xew England variety, I am com- 

 pelled to admit, has the season just past and the 

 first at Monmouth, proved a disappointment to 

 me. The berries are attractive and of good size 

 and flavor, but the plant by the side of the Van 

 Fleet Hybrids. Pearl, Progressive and other new 

 and valuable kinds, attained but small propor- 

 tions and produced but a moderate crop. At Mon- 

 mouth it was among the latest to ripen. I re- 

 ceived my plants direct from Mr. Warren, the 

 introducer, and I cannot see how there can be 

 any error about them. Undoubtedly it demands 

 a deep, fertile, loamy soil and high culture for 

 success. Dozen, 35c.'; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. 



^HUNDRED DOLLAR.— The originator claimed 

 so much for this variety that I discounted what 



he said of it. This year's fruiting, however, has 

 convinced me it was an error to do so, and his 

 statement that '"There is not another variety 

 of Strawberry that will outyield this giant or 

 surpass it in quality" may be accepted with 

 slight modification. It ripens in midseason, the 

 berries average very large indeed, the color is 

 bright scarlet and the quality mild, sweet and 

 luscious. It is not very firm. The plant is a 

 strong, vigorous grower and among the most 

 prolific. It is a superior variety for the home 

 garden or nearby market. 



In fine quality and general make-up. it reminds 

 me of the once famous Charles Downing. It is 

 a finer variety, however, than the Downing ever 

 was. It is superb. Dozen. 25c.: 100. 60c.: 1.000. 

 83.50.

 are doing finely. E. J. Ward.
