MID-SEASON STRAWBERRIES, continued 



Warfield. ^ e P°P u ' ar °'d standard 

 * for canning. It is espe- 

 cially desirable on account of its rich flavor 

 and high color. It is a vigorous grower and 

 a persistent plant-maker. For 

 this reason the plants must be 

 thinned out to give the best 

 If not allowed to grow 

 too thick, it will pro- 

 duce a great crop of 

 very desirable, 

 medium-sized berries 

 that are highly flavored 

 and highly colored. 

 Ripens mid-season and 

 is especially popular 

 in the West. Price, 

 $3 50 per 1,000. 

 Originated by Mr. S. 

 H. Warren, of Auburn- 

 dale, Massachusetts, and introduced by us 

 two years ago. Mr. Warren was a veteran berry-grower and after growing 

 the best varieties for fifty-eight years, he considered Warren the best he 

 had ever seen. After having fruited this variety and having received 

 much favorable comment on it from our customers, we are prepared to 

 recommend it very highly. It does best on loamy soil, not being so well 

 adapted to the lighter types. Plants are exceedingly vigorous, with a 

 dark green leathery foliage, and produce a splendid crop of large, high- 

 quality, high-colored berries, which have taken first prize at the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Show. For the North and West, we consider 

 Warren one of the most valuable varieties on the market. Mrs. F. B. 

 Peyton, of Albemarle County, Virginia, says: "I want you to know how 

 thoroughly satisfied I am with the yield, size, and delicious flavor of the 

 Chesapeake and Warren Strawberries from the plants gotten from you 

 last year. They were certainly the finest fruit we have ever seen." Give 

 it a trial on some good rich land. You will be surprised and pleased with 

 the result. Price, $5 per 1 ,000. 



At one time probably more widely grown than 

 any other variety and it is still grown in parts 

 of New York, mostly for canning purposes. The berries are somewhat 

 tart but are quite firm and make good shippers. We frequently have 

 calls for this variety and, as our plants are bedding up nicely, showing 

 much of the old-time vigor of the variety, we hope to be able to supply 

 the demand. Price, $4 per 1,000. 



The plants of this variety are vigorous in growth. They 

 produce a large crop of good-sized berries which are borne 

 on unusually long stems. The fruit is highly colored and very attractive; the berries are somewhat irregular 

 in shape, running from long-conical to broad-conical. The blossoms are perfect. We think the demand 

 will increase in many sections when it is known better. It is an all-round valuable variety and an especially 

 good shipper, one of the few berries that grows better with each succeeding picking. Price, $3.50 per 1,000.
