and a little firmer. However, the berries are not as large in size, not as handsome 

 in appearance and not quite as good in quality. It is a variety well worth trying r 

 and in case you have tried Big Joe and found that it doesn't quite suit your soil 

 or climate, we would try Eaton as the most likely mid-season berry to take its- 

 place. We have a nice stock of plants of this variety, and we feel that it will pay 

 strawberry growers to, at least, give it a trial. Price list, page 35. 



Glen Mary. In the Middle and Northern States where Glen Mary is at its- 

 best, probably no variety of strawberries will produce more quarts per acre. The 

 berries are large, firm enough to ship, of handsome appearance and good quality. 

 Glen Mary is a strong grower and produces an abundance of foliage. The blossoms 

 are about half perfect, but carry enough pollen for their own fruit. However, we 

 believe the size and quality of the berries can be increased by planting a few rows 

 of some strong pollenizer, such as Big Joe. Glen Mary is an old favorite still 

 popular with many growers. Price list, page 35. 



Haverland. A popular old standard. The fruit is of large size, rather light in 

 color and firm enough to stand shipment in good shape. The blossoms are imper- 

 fect and exceedingly hardy, making it very desirable where late frosts are likely. 

 Dunlap, Big Joe and Eaton are all good varieties to pollenize Haverland. The 

 plants should be well mulched if possible, as the fruit stems are not able to hold 

 the immense loads of berries off the ground. Haverland has been very popular in 

 Ohio, Indiana, and also in the Western part of North Carolina. Many growers still 

 like it and make big money growing Haverland. Others are discarding it in favor 

 of Premier and Big Joe. We have one customer who told us that he regularly makes 

 over $1000 per acre growing Haverland. He says it will sell on his market at a 

 premium over many other varieties. Haverland is grown mostly by experienced 

 strawberry growers. We have a fine stock of plants for them, or any others who 

 want to try it. Price list, page 35. 



Paul Jones. Except, possibly, Premier, Paul Jones is the most productive 

 berry we have. It is a very vigorous grower and makes a strong, healthy plant bed 

 under almost all conditions. In any sections where great quantities of berries are
