KEAVITT'S WONDER— A most distinct variety, having 

 an exceptionally mild, sweet flavor. The long, bright red 

 berries are glossy and have long necks; are highly per- 



fumed, sweet and firm, very regular in size and shape, 

 easily hulled but are not very large. Plant a wonderful 

 yielder under high culture, but unfortunately lacks stam- 

 ina and will not succeed on thin, light soil. Ripens in 

 midseason. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c. 



KLO.MUKE. — So named by reason of its great yield 

 and gold producing properties. The berries are large, 

 broad and bluntly conical and rich blood red in color, 

 both inside and outside. A very distinct variety both in 

 plant, flavor and appearance; the flavor being a mingling 

 of sweetness and subdued acid, rich and juicy; the leaves 

 light green like the old time popular Green Prolific, tall 

 and compact. Ripens in midseason and its yield is sim- 

 ply enormous. Doz., 25c; 100, 60c; 1000, $3.50. 



MeKI5L£Y. — The richest and most luscious in quality 

 of any variety in cultivation; equaling in high flavor and 

 aroma the wild Strawberry of our childhood. Berries 

 very large, handsome and freely produced on strong, 

 healthy plants; ripens in midseason and is too tender in 

 texture to endure long shipment. It is pre-eminently a 

 variety for the home garden, and if confined to a single 

 variety, it is the one I should plant for the table. Every- 

 body who enjoys fine Strawberries should plant this 

 variety. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $5.00. 



MOeMNG ST.4B.— The largest and finest Strawberry as 

 yet fully tested that ripens early. Berry very large, 

 broadly conical with blunt apex bright scarlet-crimson, 

 exceptionally uniform in size and shape. Plant a strong 

 grower, very healthy and a reliable yielder. It is ex- 

 ceptionally firm for an early berry; and best of all. of 

 finest flavor; rich and sugary. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 

 1000. $4.00. 



OOB PAUL. — One of the very largest of Strawberries. 

 The berries are roundish-conical in shape, of a bright 

 glossy crimson, firm and of superb quality. It is so 

 large six berries of it have been known to fill a quart, 

 and it never runs small at the last pickings. The plant 

 is large and robust, dark green, clean foliage, and ex- 

 ceedingly prolific for such a large berry. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 60c. 



SENATOR IHNLAP.— For quarts, quarts, quarts, this 

 variety has indeed few equals! And the berries are at- 

 tractive and very firm. It has become exceedingly popu- 

 lar, particularly throughout the west and southwest. The 

 plant is not of great size, but exceedingly vigorous, bright 

 and clean and full of business. Senator Dunlap belongs 

 to the Warfield type, but is a better berry than Warfield 



in every way; a better plant, a stronger grower and the 

 berries are larger and firmer. I am told there are many 

 spurious plants being sold for it. Ripens in midseason. 

 Doz., 25c; 100, 60c; 1000, $3.00. 



ST. LOOS.— The best very early variety by far, all 

 things considered, that I have fully tested. The berries 



are conical, of good size, bright flame-color and of sweet,. 



lu^^cious quality. .\n extra vigorous, clean grower and 

 very prolific. Other merits are its exceptional firmness 

 for an early variety and the fact that the fruit is pro- 

 duced on long stems, rendering picking an easy task. It 

 gave us ripe fruit, the season just past, on May 22d, a 

 week in advance of any other variety, and I regard it 

 as very valuable. Doz., 25c; TOO, 60c; 1000, $3.50. 



STETENS- LATE CHAMPION,— A descendant of the 

 grand old Gandy, similar in habit but more prolific by far. 

 It ripens late, and is similar to the Gandy in many re- 



spects, except that it yields nearly or quite twice as many 

 quarts of berries upon a given space and the berries are 

 not so uniform in size and shape and by no neans so 

 handsome. The most prolific and profitable of the late 

 varieties for market growing and a valuable sort for the 

 home garden. Doz.. 25c; 100, 60c; 1000, $3.50.
