 STRAWBERRIES 



NEW STRAWBERRIES 



Heritage. ^ new see< iling Strawberry, 

 originated in Burlington 

 County, N. J. Plant is very large, of heavy 

 texture, persistent in propagation, deep- 

 rooted free in fruiting; season, midseason 

 to very late. The berry is dark, shining 

 crimson in color to center, carries an unusu- 

 ally large, heavy green calyx ; very large, 

 tapering and regular, of delicious flavor ; 

 being firm, it is a good shipper. I consider 

 this a promising new variety. $i per doz., 

 postpaid ; by express, 75 cts. per doz., $3 per 

 100, $10 per 1,000. 



Great Scott. ™ s is a cross between 

 Bubach and Belmont, -

great blood for size, beauty, yield and qual- 

 ity. The plant is perfection itself. The foliage and fruit shine as though varnished, having no 



blight or rust. The fruit is of a bright scarlet color, turning crimson when very ripe. Its season is from medium to late 

 postpaid; by express, 35 cts. per doz., $1 per 50, $1.50 per 100, $7.50 per 1,000. 



The great market berry. Very large and handsome, richly colored and a delightfully flavored Strawberry for the 

 table. Its healthy, vigorous growth is phenomenal, sending out its runners until the ground is matted with them, 

 and its great, deep-rooting qualities enable it to produce beautiful berries in a dry season when other varieties are fruitless from this rea- 

 son ; and coming after almost all other sorts are gone. 50 cts. per doz., postpaid ; by express, 40 cts. per doz., 80 cts. per 100, $6 per 1,000. 



Oom Paul. ^ ne new Strawberry, Oom Paul, is a wonder. Stupendous in size and delicious in flavor, nice shape, elegant color, ship- 



1 ping the best. Another strong point in favor of Oom Paul is that the last picking never runs small. Perfect bloomer. 50 



cts. per doz., postpaid ; by express, 40 cts. per doz., 80 cts. per 100, $6 per 1,000. 



Late Champion.

 perfect in form and firm ; color bright crimson and as glossy as if 

 varnished. Quality superb ; delightful aroma, suggestive of both 

 strawberries and peaches. Perfect-blooming.

 the extra-large varieties to ripen, and, although of great size, the 

 fruit is rarely misshapen. Color is a rich, glossy crimson. Perfect- 

 blooming. 



Norwood. Requires intelligent care, but when carefully grown, 

 repays the effort spent upon it. It is firm, glossy, beautiful, fine
