THE GREATEST STRAWBERRIES ON EARTH. 



BRANDYWINE— Berries of the Brandywine 

 are of niagnilicent and immense size, very 

 firm, solid and shapely forsolarcre a berry. 

 In general itis broadly heart-shainnl with- 

 out neck, occasionally fruits tvill be found 

 shaped as if two berries •vi'cre joined to- 

 gether; flesh red to the core, of delightful 

 aroma, rich, jucy and luscious. The color 

 is of a rich, dark, plossy scarlet. Color- 

 ing uniform all over, no white blotches 

 or green tips ; its large, green calyx greatly 

 adds to the attractiveness of the fruit. 

 In productiveness the Brandywine straw- 

 berry is truly a marvel, both in size and 

 quantity. The splendid large berries are 

 borne on stiff, stout stems, ripening in 

 succession for a long period, from mid- 

 season until the very latest, holding up 

 its size to the last and every berry coming 

 to maturity. Plants very vigorous and 

 hardy, throwing out strong runners. 

 The foliage is of the largest and thriftiest.

PRINCESS— (P)— From Minnesota; plant 

 healthy and vigorous ; it is very produc- 

 tive, blossoms pistillate; fruit large and 

 of regular form, light red color and ex- 

 cellent flavor. Is one of the heaviest 

 yielders I have, the fruit literally piles 

 up three and four deep around the' plant. 

 Plant largely of this, it is one of the very 

 best. 25c per doz.,b0c per 100, S4 per i.OOO. 



BEDERWOOD— A new and exceedingly valu- 

 able early strawberry. Conceded to be 

 the best early berry for home use and 

 worthy of great praise. Probably the 

 best early variety ever introduced ; it is 

 not only very early, but immensely pro- 

 ductive. Theplantis faultless, of healthy, 

 vigorous growth, and an enormous bearer, 

 perhaps equal ta any of th e pistillate sorts 

 in this respect ; the berries of large size of 

 regular roundish form, light scarlet, of 

 excellent quality, remaining in f ruit a long 

 time. We picked berries every day for a 

 month from it last season. 25c per doz., 

 60c per 100, ft per 1,000. 



JESSIE — A very large and handsome straw- 

 berry, of bright, glossy, crimson color. 

 Where light, rich soil and good cultivation 

 is given, it gives splendid satisfaction. Its large size, handsome 

 regular form and fine quality makes it the most desirable of all 

 berries. Plant strong, stocky, vigorous, free from rust and it is 

 wonderfully productive ; one of the very best. 25c per doz., 75c

 long time in fruit ; plant very vigorous and hardy and will pro- 

 duce good crops undergreater neglect than any other strawberry.

NEW MARGARET— The plant is large and healthy and so vigorous 

 in growth that it will mature its last berries and continue green 

 and luxuriant while anabundanceof strong runners are produced. 

 The foliage is dark green and so cTean and healthy looking that 

 it is a pleasure to work among the plants. The blossom is per- 

 fect and one of the strongest ever seen. It commences to ripen 

 soon after the early varieties, and bears until nearly all others 

 are gone. With a good chance its berries are all of large size. 

 The plant with its habit of growth and productiveness is fault- 

 less. The fruit is usually 

 conical, sometimes rather 

 long, never co( kscombed 

 or misshaped, often neck- 

 ed. The color is a dark, 

 glossy red, and the berries 

 are not inclined to have 

 white tips. The large, 

 green calyx adds to its 

 beauty. The flesh is firm- 

 er than most large ber- 

 ries, and of excellent fla- 

 vor. For healthy, vigor- 

 ous growth, productive- 

 ness, size, beauty and 

 quality, the Margaret is 

 a remarkable grower,and 

 all who have tried it are 

 enthusiastic i n their 

 praises of this most ex- 

 cellent of strawberries. 

 When ordering be sure

 in your list. 30c per doz.,
