STOKES' STRAWBERRIES 



NEW SORTS 



Great Scott. This giant among Strawberries is a cross 

 between Bubach and Belmont, — great blood for size, beauty, j ield 

 and quality. The plant is perfection itself. The foliage and fruit 

 shine as though varnished, having no blight or rust. The fruit is 

 very large, even the last picking, of a bright scarlet color, turning 

 crimson when very ripe. Its season is from medium to late. Per 

 doz. 50 cts., postpaid; by express, per doz., 35 cts. ; per 50, Si ; 

 per 100, $1.50. 



Stokes' Late Champion, a large part of the profit in 



strawberr\--growing is to have first-class fruit when the market is 

 not glutted ; and the Stokes' Late Champion takes care of the 



late market in a 

 masterly fashion. 

 I believe it to be 

 the best late Straw- 

 berry ever intro- 

 duced. In size it is 

 uniformly very 

 large and hand- 

 some, very richly 

 colored and a de- 

 lightfully flavored 

 Strawberry for the 

 table. Its'healthy, 

 vigorous growth is 

 phenomenal, send- 

 ing out its runners 

 until the ground is 

 matted with them, 

 and its great, deep- 

 rooting qualities 

 enableit toproduce 

 beautiful berries in 

 a drj' season when 

 other varieties are 

 fruitless from this 

 reason : and com- 

 ing after almost all 

 other sorts are 

 gone, it holds the 

 late market to the 

 grower's great 

 profit. Per doz. 40 

 cts., postpaid ; by e.xpress, per doz., 30c.; per 100, $1 ; peri,ooo,$6. 



liady Garrison. This is another of the big yielders, sure 

 croppers, under all sorts of conditions of soil and culture. An all- 

 round good Strawberry. Heavy, rank foliage of deepest green, no 

 rust or blight, or sign of weakening of an)- kind. A perfect bloom- 

 er, with many strong fruit-stalks: begins to ripen early and the 

 season e.xtends through to the later-ripening varieties. Fruit of 

 large size, roundish conical form, bright glossy red color and fine 

 flavor. Per doz., 50 cts., postpaid ; by e.xpress, per doz., 30 cts.; per 

 50, 75 cts.; per 100, $1.25; per 1,000, $10. 



Stokes' Late Champion 



NEW SORTS, continued 



New Early Beauty. The new Early Beauty Strawberry 

 is without any question, the strongest grower of any berry we 

 have ever had any knowledge of. At inyFloracroft Gardens it has 

 proven itself a wonder in this respect, and will undoubtedly, 

 from its very vigorous constitution, prove a splendid sort from 

 which to get early crosses for other new varieties. The fruit ripens 

 the very earliest of any berry which I have ever known. It is of 

 large size, of the pointed shape. The berry is a rich, glossy red ; 

 handsome. Perfect-flowering variety, Per doz. 40 cts., postpaid; 

 by e.xpress, per doz., 30 cts.; per 100, Si, per 1,000, $6. 



CHOICE STANDARD SORTS 



Com Paul. The new Strawberry, Oom Paul, is a wonder. Stu- 

 pendous in size and delicious in flavor, nice shape, elegant color, 

 shipping the best. Another strong point in favor of Oom Paul is 

 that the last picking never runs small. Perfect bloomer. 



The Maximns. One of the largest and most beautiful of all Straw- 

 berries. Perfect bloomer; plant strong and robust. Produces two 

 and four fruit stalks to a plant, well filled with very large berries. 

 Berries conical, deep glossy scarlet ; flesh pink, sometimes white 

 at the center, very tender, of mild flavor. Late. 



Glen Mary. Very vigorous, perfect-blooming plant of Brandywine 

 and Isabel type. Enormously productive of large, bright, deep 

 red berries. Flesh very firm. Light red clear to the center ; 

 sweet, rich and high-flavored, decidedly good berry in point of 

 plant, yield, fine form, bright color, firmness and good quality. 

 Midseason. 



Marshall Midseason. Berries very beautiful and average extra- 

 ordinarily large — often fourteen will fill a quart measure. For home 

 use it is peerless. The first of the extra-large varieties to ripen, 

 and, although of great size, the fruit is rarely misshapen. Color is 

 a rich, glossy crimson, admired by all. Perfect blooming. 



Brandywine. Midseason to very late. Brandywine is already 

 world-famous; in fact, we doubt if any Strawlierry ever before has 

 received such enthusiastic praise over so wide an extent of terri- 

 tory. The berries are of large size, glossy scarlet, very firm, solid 

 and shapely, of delightful aroma, rich, juicy and luscious, and won- 

 derfully productive. Perfect-blooming. 



The Gandy, Late. One of the best late Strawberries ever intro- 

 duced. Strictl)- fancy. The fruits are uniformly large, 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. 



Bnbach, No. 5. Midseason. A prominent grower says: " If all 

 varieties were culled out but ten, he would place Bubach, No. 5, at 

 the head of the list on account of its large, bright berries, immense 

 yield and fine flavor." Pistillate variety.
