TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



25 



MEDIUM-EARLY STRAWBERRIES, continued 



Providence. 



Originated in Somerset County, 

 Man-land. The originator says : 



"It is one of the finest berries I have ever seen and 

 it does well on either stiff or light, sandy soil and has 

 never shown any rust or other diseases. The berries 

 are of excellent color and firm enough to make it a 

 splendid shipping variety. It holds up well in size 

 to the end of the season. Price, S5 per 1 ,000. 



SENATOR DUNLAP. This is a variety 



: for the amateur 



and for the more experienced in Strawberry-growing. 

 It is adapted to any type of soil and does well in all 

 sections where it is grown. The plants are rather 

 small, but they have long fibrous roots, which make 

 them good drought-resisters. They make a vigorous 

 growth and should be kept thinned out in order to 

 get the best results. The fruit is bright red, with a 

 glossy finish, shading to a deep scarlet on the under 

 side. The seeds are a bright yellow and very promi- 

 nent. The meat is bright red all through and exceed- 

 ingly juicy. Altogether they make a very handsome 

 appearance in the package. The plants produce a 

 heavy crop of fruit and the berries hold up well in 

 size clear to the end of the season. Senator Dunlap 

 has perfect blossoms, which produce an enormous 

 amount of pollen, making it very valuable for pollen- 

 izing imperfect-flowering varieties, all the more so 

 because it commences to bloom medium early and 

 lasts through a long season. Growers throughout the 

 country know the Senator Dunlap and we always 

 count on a heavy demand for it. It is one of the 

 surest varieties to produce a crop and the crop it 

 produces is very large, the quality is good, and it is 

 a fairly good shipping berry. If you are in doubt 

 about what to order, and especially if you are in- 



TWILLEY. 



experienced in berry-growing, Senator Dunlap is the 

 safest variety to plant. You should plant Senator 

 Dunlap for its own sake and also to use as a pollen- 

 izer for some of the fancy, pistillate varieties. Price, 

 S3 per 1,000. 

 StlCCeSS Season medium early. The blossoms 



are perfect and the plant is a vigorous 



grower. The fruit is large in size and the variety 

 has become quite popular in New Jersey and certain 

 sections of Pennsylvania. Price, S3. 50 per 1,000. 



We fruited on our farms last 

 year about sixty varieties. Of 

 them all there was not one which gave us more 

 quarts per acre than did the Twilley. It is a very 

 strong grower, has perfect blossoms, and is a strong 

 pollenizer. The berries are rather long, light in 

 color, and have a large, bright green cap, which 

 makes them very attractive. The fruit is of good 

 quality and is firm enough to ship anywhere. We 

 have no firmer shipping berry on our list than this. 

 In all sections where berries are grown for market 

 Twilley will be a valuable berry to grow. Try it. 

 Price, $5 per 1 ,000. 



Billv SundaV ^ e nave not Suited this va- 



k. ii riety on our own grounds, 



but the introducer recommends it very highly. He 

 says: "Billy Sunday is a prolific yielder of high- 

 grade berries, which will produce continuously from 

 early to late. Foliage is tall and large; fruiting 

 stems are long and hold the fruit well above the 

 foliage, until the fruit weighs them down. In form, 

 flavor, color and size, this delicious and beautiful 

 variety is of the type that the public demands." 

 The blossoms are perfect. Our young plants give 

 promise of carrying out all claims made for it.

DID NOT LOSE A SINGLE PLANT 

 First order plants received November, 1914.

 ever seen. I did not lose a single plant, —

BIG JOE CAN'T BE BEATEN 

 The plants bought of you last season were fine, the best-
