^THREE W'S.— A Tennessee variety that has '/ WM. BELT.— Of all the Strawberries grown in 

 made many friends in all parts of the country the United States, this variety doubtless excels 



and is rapidly gaining popularity. And well it 

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

 sugar; an abundant bearer of large, beautiful ber- 

 ries for a vefy long 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 in good condition than almost anv other 

 variety. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; i;000, $3.50. 



U. S. KING EDWARD.— A prominent Straw- 

 berry grower of Massachusetts says: "It is the 



rich man's berry, poor man's berry, lazy man's 

 berry and the market man's berry. If one wishes 

 to grow the largest number of quarts to the acre 

 and has to sell at low prices, 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 light scarlet color. 

 . . ^ . The plant is a strong staminate variety 

 and is just loaded with frliit. Quarts, quarts, 

 quarts; as thick as cultivated Cranberries. It 

 is a mortgage lifter, too. Unfortunately, there 

 are two Strawberries by this name, King Edward. 

 One originated in England and the best in Amer- 

 ica. You want the U. S. King Edward because 

 it is the best. Ripens in midseason." Dozen, 

 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $3.50. 



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 gi-eat size — and gives large pickings for a longer 

 period than almost anv other varietv. Dozen.

STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 



Of herbaceous habit, with a mass of deep greti. 

 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 simply delicious. 

 Dozen. -Si. 00;' 100, $5.00. By mail at dozen rates 

 if preferred.
