General List of Strawberries 



My strawberry plants are remarkably fine this year: they could not well be finer. 



If to he sent by mail, add 25c per 100 to prices annexed. Plants sent by mail at dozen rates, if desired. 



ABrXGTON. — In a general way. it is similar to the old 

 Eubach. although of brighter, more attractive color, firmer 

 texture, and has the advantage over its parent (Bubach) 



in having a perfect blossom, 

 of high quality, and for this 

 as some others for the home 

 habit, a good plant maker, 



Though of good, it is not 

 reason is not so desirable 

 garden. Plant of vigorous 

 vith clean, healthy foliage, 



and the fruit is so large and attractive and the plant so 

 remarkably prolific that it is of great value to the market 

 grower. Ripens in midseason. Doz., 25c; 100, 60c; 

 1000, $4.00. 



BRA>"DTWI>E. — A superb variety of general adapta- 

 bility and one of the most popular. The berries are 

 large, roundish-conical, regular, bright glossy crimson, 

 firm and of good flavor. Plant a fine grower, vigorous 

 and productive. For best results it .should be grown on 

 strong, rich soil. Ripens in midseason. Doz., 25c; 100, 

 50c: 1000, $3.50. 



CARDINAL (P). — A marvel in vigor and productive- 

 ness, exceptionally firm and very handsome. It is a 

 strictly business berry — gets right down to business at 

 once and keeps at it all the time. The quality is not 

 fine — too tart and not refined — but it looks so well, yields 

 so well, sells so well and is so easily grown, it is a most 

 profitable variety to grow. The berries average large 



and are bluntly conical with a bright green calyx ot 

 "burr"; and they "stand up" remarkably well after ship- 

 ment. Season medium until quite late. Doz., 25c; 100, 

 60c; 1000, $3.50. 



CHESAPEAKE.— A superb berry because of its great size, 

 uniformity, firmness and superior quality. One of the- 

 easiest varieties to pick, bearing a large quantity of fruit 



cn the strong, vigorous single stems, a great proportion 

 of which stand upright from the ground. Though this 

 variety does not set an immense amount of fruit, yet 

 every blossom makes a berry, not wasting its vitality in 

 setting a large number of berries that can never mature. 

 The result is that each berry may be termed "fancy." 

 It ripens at practically the same time as the Gandy; 

 starting three or four days earlier. The berries are all 

 very large and beautiful, so regular in form and size as 

 to suggest being cast from a mold. Of the very highest 

 quality. Does not make sufficient plant growth on light, 

 dry soil. Doz., 25c; 100, 60c; 1000, $4.00. 



CLIMAX. — A large, handsome, firm berry, with healthy 

 and prolific plant. It has proved profitable and a valu- 

 able variety over a wide range of territory and has many 

 staunch friends. Early to midseason. Doz., 25c; 100,^ 

 60c; 1000, $3.50. 



COMMONWEALTH.— The finest late variety for the fam- 

 ily garden I have yet fully tested. It is very late, of 

 superb quality and a wonderful yielder. It surpasses 

 by far the Gandy in quality, though it is not so attractive 

 in color. Plant vigorous ana healthy. Doz., 25c; 100, 

 60c; 1000, $4.00. 



DOBNAN (Uncle Jim). — A superb variety, giving berries 

 of great size and an enormous yield upon rich, deep soil. 

 A western grower in speaking of it says: "One of the- 

 noblest varieties of Strawberries ever originated. • * ♦ 

 It is dark red on the outside, shading to a bright red on- 

 the lower. It is one of the meatiest and the richest of 

 berries and its delicious sub-acid flavor makes it possible 

 for the most pronounced dyspeptic to eat the fruit with 

 impunity," 



I have grown the variety many years and the above 

 describes it very well. The berries are conical, with 

 blunt end, and ripen late. Plant of rampant growth, 

 with long, deep roots, hence suffer less from drought 

 than most varieties. Doz., 25c; 100. 60c; 1000. $3.50.
