THE W. F. ALtLen Co., Salisbury, Md. SS: 
Medium Early Varieties 
COOPER. The plant growth of Cooper is very vigorous, making a moderate 
number of large, strong plants rather than tremendous numbers of smaller ones, 
although on very rich land when the weather is favorable, they will get a little too 
thick if not kept thinned. Under favorable conditions, Cooper is the largest good 
early berry that we have. It will average even larger than Premier, is very fine in 
quality and handsome in appearance. It is excellent for local market or nearby 
shipment, but not for shipping long distances. Cooper’s main value, we believe, 
will be to growers who have a good local market and want a berry somewhat larger 
than Premier, otherwise we cannot see why it should replace Premier for main 
crop berry of this season.. When planting Cooper, avoid land that is very wet. 
We have a nice stock of large, strong plants. Price-list, page 35. 
DR. BURRILL (Sen. Dunlap). This variety is either identical with Senator 
Dunlap or so near like it that there is absolutely no reason for growing them as 
separate varieties. In some berry catalogues you will find the two varieties de- 
scribed and listed separately, but the only actual difference is that if bought as 
Dr. Burrill you pay a dollar or two more per thousand for the plants. For full 
description, see Senator Dunlap, on this page. 
KLONDYKE. Is the leading market berry in many sections of the South. 
Klondyke with Missionary, early, and Aroma, late, are probably the three most 
generally grown berries in the South, altho Premier is gradually becoming a fav- 
orite as far south as North Carolina and Tennessee. Klondyke berries ripen 
evenly all over, are round in shape and are very solid so that they will stand ship- 
ment long distances and get into market in almost perfect condition. The flavor 
is slightly acid, but this, with the uniform shape and firm texture of the berry, 
has made Klondyke a favorite with those who make a business of canning and 
preserving. The greatest weakness of Klondyke is that it is not very productive 
and that the berries tend to run down in size toward the end of the season. How- 
ever, it seems to be generally true that a bed of Klondyke the second year will 
produce more berries and better berries than the first year. Chesapeake is another 
variety which seems to be almost as good the second year as the first. Many 
growers who have grown and shipped Klondyke profitably for years will still 
want to rely on it, chiefly on account of its firmness. Price-list, page 35. 
LADY CORNEILLE. A free growing variety of the Missionary type. Does 
well most everywhere but particularly adapted to ligher soil types and warmer 
climates. As compared to Missionary, Lady Corneille is about equal in product- 
iveness, berries average about same size, somewhat better in quality, and of long, 
conical shape rather than round like Missionary. In addition to being a free 
grower, productive and of good quality, Lady Corneille is an excellent shipping 
berry. Well worth trying. Price-list, page 35. 
MISSIONARY. Leading berry in Florida and popular in other Southern 
States. Missionary will do well on almost all soils, but will do better than most 
on the lighter soil types. The berries are medium in size, dark red in color, rather 
tart in quality, and attractive in appearance. It isa very good shipper and is also 
a favorite with the “‘cold pack”’ or “‘juice’’ men. Price-list, page 35. 
SEN. DUNLAP (Dr. Burrill). A vigorous growing variety that under good 
growing conditions should be kept thinned tozget the best fruit. It is easy to get 
a good fruiting bed and the plants always bear a heavy crop of fruit. The berries 
are medium in size, bright, rich rel] clear throligh and fair in quality. Asa pro- 
ducer, Dunlap ranks with Premier, Big Late, Haverland and Paul Jones. The 
blossoms are perfect. Dunlap:covers about the same season as Premier and we 
prefer Premier, but Dunlap still finds favor with large numbers of experienced 
strawberry growers and we have a nice stock of plants for those who want them.
