Aroma Strawberries 



Late Strawberries 



A ROMA. ^ n °^ stan dard variety that has been on the market a good 



- many years and seems to be gaining in popularity all the time. 



We often receive letters from customers saying that "new varieties may be 

 good, but Aroma is good enough for me." Mr. Alonzo Stewart, of Edwards 

 County, Illinois, says: "I have never been deceived in your plants. I can 

 truthfully say that the Aroma is the best berry I have ever grown. I always 

 recommend your plants to my friends." The foliage is dark green and of a 

 spreading habit. It is a perfect-flowering variety and as a pollenizer of pistillate 

 varieties of its season, it is unexcelled. Mr. Snyder, of Indiana, planted Aroma 

 and Fendall together and got a crop of 15,000 quarts of fancy berries per acre. 

 It has a very long picking season. The blossoms begin to open medium early 

 and continue until late. The berries are rich in color, large in size, and deli- 

 ciously aromatic in flavor. Through Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and in 

 many other sections, it is probably the most widely grown variety, as a fancy 



market berry. It has a handsome green cap which makes it show 

 / up well in the package. The berries are firm in texture and solid 



^nough to make an excellent shipping berry. Plant Aroma alone or 



with Fendall, Hustler, Sample, 

 Haverland, and other fancy pis- 

 tillate varieties. . Aroma is a 

 money-making berry and we 

 would like to see it 

 grown more widely. 

 Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 



Brandywine. 



This is another most 

 popular late variety 

 for tropical and semi- 

 tropical sections. We 

 especially recommend 

 this for Bermuda, 

 Cuba, the Pacific coast 

 states and the Gulf 

 states. At the same time 

 it is a valuable variety 

 in the North where it 

 originated. The plant 

 is healthy and vigorous 

 and produces a fine 

 crop of large, hand- 

 some fruit which usu- 

 ally brings more than 

 the average price. We 

 have a fine stock of 

 Brandywine plants 

 this season and hope 

 to be able to fill all 

 orders. The picture on 

 the left shows the fine 

 shape and large size. 

 Brandywine. A most popular late variety both Norm and South Price, $3.50 per t 000.
