TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Premier is one of the very best very early Strawberries 

 EXTRA-EARLY STRAWBERRIES, continued 



and a prize-winner. It is the money-making king 

 of all early varieties. Last year the Premier began 

 ripening berries fully a week earlier than any other 

 variety and continued to fruit heavily for more 

 than four weeks. And the last picking was as good 

 as the first. Another quality in which the Premier 

 excels is that of a pollenizer for pistillate varieties, 

 a characteristic of unusual value because of its long 

 blooming season." We have fruited this variety 

 only one season, but, judging from that, we agree 

 with the introducer that it is one of the most wonder- 

 ful very early varieties that we have ever seen. 

 Whether you are growing for home use, local market. 

 or distant shipment, you should have some Premier. 

 We intend to plant heavily for our own fruiting 

 and we very strongly advise and urge all those who 

 own a plot of ground, or can rent a plot, to do the 

 same. Price, $5 per 1,000. 



For the home table or local market 

 St. Louis is great. It is a native 



Somerset. 



We fruited Somerset for the first 

 time last year. The berries were of 



St. Louis. 



of Arkansas and, as grown here, it makes a strong, 

 healthy plant, which is very productive of large 

 berries, about the same shape and color as the 

 Haverland. They are excellent in quality but not 

 good shippers. Price. S4 per 1.000. 



good quality, of uniformly large size, and firm enough 

 to ship. In some sections this is very highly thought 

 of as an earhy market berry. Our plants last year 

 did not produce quite so heavily as we thought they 

 should, but the berries we had were very fine and 

 brought good prices. Price, S3 per 1,000. 

 Wild WOOd. ™ s ,is another early variety 

 — —— — — — suited especially lor the home 



garden. As the name suggests, it has a delicious 

 wild-strawberry flavor, and we are sure it will please 

 everyone who wants early berries for the home 

 garden. The berries are medium in size, bright scar- 

 let in color, and are borne in great profusion. The 

 blossoms will produce some pollen, but when planted 

 beside some variety like Mitchell's Early, St. Louis, 

 or Premier, it will give a larger crop of better fruit. 

 Price, $4 per r,ooo. 



Campbell's Early. ™ s is ™ ear 'y **■ 



— £— riety, grown exten- 

 sively in some sections of New Jersey. Those who 

 have grown it are very much pleased with its 

 behavior, and we would suggest that you try it out. 

 Price, S5 oer 1,000.
