Amanda, the largest berry we grow 



Mid-season Strawberries 



Amanda. ^ n ' s ' s tne ' ar g est berry that we 

 — — — — — ^— have. In fruiting season you can 

 easily find berries twenty-one of which will fill a 

 quart-basket. The plants are vigorous, healthy, 

 large and upright in growth. Blossoms are perfect. 

 The fruit is of very large size, dark red in color, and 

 of good quality. It is one of 

 the most productive varieties 

 we have and growers wishing 

 extra-large, good-quality berries, 

 should plant some Amanda. 

 Price, $5 per 1,000. 



Abington. 



This variety 

 is a vigorous 

 grower and quite 

 productive of large, 

 firm berries. Fruit 

 is well c olored, 

 good enough for 

 the home table, and 

 firm enough to ship. 

 It ripens in mid- 

 season and ha-s per- 

 fect blossoms. It 

 is always good and 

 seems to be im- 

 proving with age. 

 Price, $3.50 per 

 1 ,000. 



Bradley. This is a good variety and exceed- 



— ingly productive. Large in size and 



firm enough to make a good shipping berry. The 

 blossoms are perfect and the berries are of good 

 color, uniformly conical in shape. It has yielded 

 for us on thin land over 5,000 quarts per acre without 

 fertilization. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 



BUBACH (Colossus). A fancy market berry 



that sells for a price above the 



average. This grand old variety has been on the 

 market for over thirty years and does not seem to 

 have lost any of its original vigor. We have heard 

 some complaint about its not making enough plants, 

 but our land seems peculiarly adapted to it and we 

 seldom have any trouble in getting all the beds 

 that could be desired. We believe our strain of this 

 variety is as good as the original stock was thirty 

 years ago. One customer says that his Bubach were 

 by far the finest Strawberries and brought the best 

 price in his market. Another says he has never 

 seen its equal. The illustration will give you an 

 idea of what an attractive display it makes in the 

 crates. The blossoms of Bubach are imperfect and 

 among the best varieties to plant with it are Big 

 Joe, Senator Dunlap, Ekey, Gold Dollar, and 

 Twilley. This variety is especially popular in the 

 North, and if you have not already grown it, it would 

 pay you to do so. It is an old standard that can be 

 depended on to give a big crop of large berries 

 which bring a top-notch price on any market. 

 Price, $3.50 per 1,000.
