 Joe. Perfect bloom. Season medium to late. 

 Plant is vigorous and long-lived, and foli- 

 age is clean and healthy; flower perfect. 

 Productive and carries its fruit well. 

 Sample. Imperfect bloom. The plant is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, very productive, 

 texture firm, making an excellent shipper. 

 The berries color all over at once, and look 

 very pretty in the package. Large size, 

 midseason, fine quality, conical shape and 

 regular in form. One of the best for market. 

 Saunders. Perfect bloom. Originated by John Little, of Canada. A valuable market berry; a 



good growerand heavy bearer. Fruit large, conical, darkglossy red; quality good. Season medium. 



Stevens Late Champion. 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 reason; and, coming 

 after almost all other sorts are gone. 

 MarshaU. Midseason. 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. Perfect blooming. 

 Success. Perfect bloomer. Early, large, fairly firm and of a bright crimson color. It is the best early berry we have yet fruited. If you 

 want a large, early berry that will yield, plant Success.
