TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



31 



MID-SEASON STRAWBERRIES, continued 



contrast. The flavor of the fruit is mild and deli- 

 cious. The calyx is a dark rich green which adds to 

 the beauty of the berry. The berries are very firm 

 and ship exceedingly well. Another valuable point, 

 in addition to the vigorous nature of the plant, its 

 productiveness, and high quality of fruit, is the 

 fact that it is an exceptionally strong bisexual. All 

 points considered, this variety is most appropriately 

 named, as it surely is magical in its productive 

 powers and the berries it produces so abundantly 

 are gems of beauty and deliciousness." Judging 

 from the way our young plants are growing, this 

 variety seems to be all that the introducer claims 

 for it and we believe everyone should try it out. 

 Price, S5 per 1,000. 



Marshall (Norwood). A fancy old variety 



known to most Strawberry-growers. 



It is one of the largest berries on the market. The 

 berries are of fine quality and handsome appearance 

 and it is popular with those who want to produce 

 the very finest fruit. It is often used in making 

 crosses of other varieties. If we could get a variety 

 with the productiveness of Longfellow, Haverland, 

 or Twilley, combined with the large size and hand- 

 some appearance of the Marshall, we would indeed 

 have something valuable. Being very hard to grow, 

 plants other than Marshall have been sent out to 

 the trade. We assure you that our stock is strictly 

 true to name on Marshall as well as on all the 

 other varieties which we grow. Price, $5 per 1,000. 



EXCELLENT CONDITION 

 The plants were received in excellent 

 condition, as usual. Many thanks. —

New York. 



Parsons* Beauty. 



Many housekeepers in this coun- 

 try feel they cannot have a 

 Strawberry bed for the home garden unless they 

 have some New York, as its quality is seldom 

 equaled. It is very prolific and bears through a long 

 season. The berries are large and the seeds are so 

 near the color of the berries and so deep-set that 

 they are scarcely noticeable. Its excellent quality 

 and large size make it a very popular Strawberry 

 for the home garden and local market. It is the 

 sweetest berry we know of and is rivaled in quality 

 only by Wm. Belt, McAlpin, Hustler, and a few 

 others. Price, S5 per 1,000. 



A very strong-growing 

 variety. Very produc- 

 tive of medium-large, good-quality berries. The 

 fruit is uniform in size and holds up well to the end 

 of the season. It is recommended especially for 

 local market, as it is not firm enough for distant 

 shipping. In some sections, where it can be picked 

 in the afternoon and hauled to market the next 

 morning, it is very popular. The berries are dark in 

 color and have a bright green cap, which makes them 

 very attractive. The good quality of the fruit is a 

 valuable aid in selling them. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 



PAUL JONES. A . m ? n % mo r e than fifty ya- 



^ — — ^^— ^— neties which we fruited 

 last spring Paul Jones gave us the biggest surprise 

 of all. It was one of the most productive varieties 

 that we had. The fruit was of good size and hand- 

 some appearance. It is claimed to be a 

 seedling of Brandywine and Haverland. 

 The blossoms are imperfect and the plants 

 are wonderfully productive of beautiful 



Heritage (see page 30). Strictly fancy; uniformly large; good for home use or market
