Klondyke. A gold nugget for the southern grower 

 MEDIUM -EARLY STRAWBERRIES, continued 



Early Woodrow. 



We fruited this last year 

 for the first time and it 

 proved to be quite productive. The berries are large 

 in size, highly colored, and exceedingly firm. We 

 advise our customers to get a few plants of this 

 variety and try it out. Wherever it succeeds we 

 believe it will make a great shipping berry. The 

 introducer claims that it brought a premium over 

 all other early varieties and that in an actual test, 

 side by side with Klondyke, it kept longer in perfect 

 condition. We consider Early Woodrow worthy of 

 trial. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 



Almost as early as Excelsior 

 with somewhat larger fruit. 

 It is immensely productive and has large green caps 

 and a brilliant color that are most attractive. One 

 of our customers in Ohio, who has tested out over a 

 hundred varieties, says that Ewell's Early has not 

 had a square deal and deserves to be grown more 

 generally. Price, £3 per 1 .000.

GOLD DOLLAR. 



Lady Corneille (see page 



After having fruited this 

 variety for several years 

 we are highly pleased with it. The plant is a strong, 

 healthy grower and produces a very heavy crop of 

 fruit. The berries are of good size, highly colored, 

 and perfect in shape. It has perfect blossoms, every 

 one of which matures a good berry. They have 

 bright green caps of medium size, which with their 

 unusual uniformity and perfect shape make them 

 most attractive in the package. In firmness Gold 

 Dollar is the equal of Excelsior and will stand ship- 

 ment to distant markets. We predict that it will 

 be quite widely grown. Price, $4 per 1 ,000. 

 James E Produces a good crop of large, highly 



- colored, good-quality berries that 



are very attractive in appearance. It originated in 

 Virginia and is grown extensively there for nearby 

 markets. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 

 KLONDYKE. Possibly excepting Senator 



Dunlap, this is the most widely 



grown variety in 

 the United 

 States. Hun- 

 dreds and hun- 

 dreds of acres 

 are planted 

 throughout the 

 South. It is one 

 of the best ship- 

 pers and will, 

 carry almost 

 any distance. It 

 demands top 

 prices in the 

 market and 

 often brings a 

 premium over 

 other varieties, 

 which show up 

 better in the 

 field. This is 

 due to its good 

 carrying quali- 

 ties and to the 

 fact that the 

 berries ripen 

 evenly and are 

 uniform in size.
