MEDIUM-EARLY 



STRAWBERRIES,

Klondyke is a very 

 good grower and 

 adapted to a wide 

 variety of soils. It 

 is especially pop- 

 ular in the middle 

 and southern states. 

 Many large asso- 

 ciations in the 

 South are planting 

 Klondyke for their 

 main crop, due to 

 the fact that it is 

 a good shipper. At 

 nearby shipping sta- 

 tions we have seen 

 buyers go over load 

 after load of berries 

 and pay more for 

 the Klondyke than 

 for any other va- 

 riety of its season. 

 In this section it 

 commands the high- 

 est price until Big 

 Joe and Chesapeake 

 begin to ripen. A 

 good many growers 

 and associations 

 know this berry 

 and will plant it 

 anyway. For those 

 in the southern or middle states who are not sure 

 what to plant we recommend Klondyke as a market 

 berry. The blossoms of Klondyke are perfect and 

 the plants are very- vigorous and healthy. Klondyke 

 •will grow anywhere and this fact helps to make it 

 the immensely popular berry that it is. Price, 

 $3 per 1,000. 



LADY CORNEILLE. p n >\ TT ho h . 3ve 



fruited this variety 



largely, claim that it is better than Klondyke and, 

 if it is, you cannot afford to be without it. We have 

 seen it fruiting in California and, if its behavior 

 there is any indication of what it will do generally, 

 it is a very valuable variety indeed. The plant is a 

 strong grower and does well on almost any soil. 

 The blossoms are perfect ; the berries are large, con- 

 ical in shape, uniform in size, and hold up well until 

 the end of the season. The fruit is dark red in color 

 and covered with prominent golden seeds. It has 

 added value in that it is very firm and able to stand 

 long-distance shipments in good condition. For the 



Longfellow (see page 24). An exceedingly promising sort 



middle and southern states we recommend Lady 

 Corneille very highly, and it should be tried out in 

 all sections where Strawberries are grown exten- 

 sively. Price, S3. 50 per 1 ,000. 



Lady Thompson. An 0,d stand ard that f°r 



- r many years was prac- 

 tically the only variety grown in the great berry 

 section of North Carolina. It makes strong, vigorous, 

 healthy plants that produce large crops of medium- 

 sized, handsome, well-shaped berries. It is firm 

 enough for shipping and is still used as a fancy 

 shipping berry in many sections of the South. Price, 

 S3. 50 per 1,000. 



Lea Southern growers who have tried Lea 



- speak of it in the very highest terms as a 



valuable market berry. The originator says: "It is 

 the best thing I have in the Strawberry line. Lea 

 sold with Bubach and will stand more rainy weather 

 and keep in better condition than any berry I ever 

 saw." The plant is a strong, sturdy grower without 

 a spot of rust or other defect in its foliage. The 

 fruit ripens evenly, is of 

 uniform size, and is pro- 

 duced in large quantities. 

 The demand for Lea is 

 certain to increase after 

 it becomes more widely 

 known. Price, S3 per 

 1 ,000. 



NONE CAN BE BETTER 



The berry plants, fall-bear- 

 ing Strawberries. I got from 

 you last spring did wonder- 

 fully well. The plants were 

 fine; I did not lose one. I 

 am one of your old customers 

 and know from past orders • 

 what your plants are. None 

 can be better. — Mrs. B. B.
