TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



Hustler Strawberries 



LATE STRAWBERRIES, continued 



feel sure you will make no mistake in planting it. 

 The berries are large and pointed, somewhat like 

 the Haverland. It is a great cropper, fairly uniform 

 in shape and color, and there is something about 

 the flavor that causes you to want more. The 

 plants are vigorous and healthy and it is one of the 

 best growers on the farm. It seems to us that 

 this variety has been somewhat overlooked, as the 

 demand for it does not seem to be so strong as its 

 merits deserve. The blossoms are perfect and 

 produce an abundance of pollen, making it a good 

 variety to plant with imperfect-flowering varieties 

 of its season. Price, S4 per 1,000. 



HUSTLER 



This new variety, introduced by us two years 

 ago, is a native of Pennsylvania and it is destined 

 to become one of the great fancy Strawberries, 

 throughout the country. It is a vigorous grower, 

 making a few large strong plants rather than many 

 small ones. The fruit averages large in size, is 

 uniform, and firm enough to ship to a distant market. 

 The berry is rich scarlet in color, excellent in quality, 

 and altogether one of the handsomest berries that 

 we know. Hustler is one of the varieties that we 

 are going to plant heavily this season for fruit 

 alone and we know of no better recommendation 

 we can give it than that. The blossoms are imperfect 

 and should be planted with some perfect-flowering 

 variety. We intend to plant Big Joe and Hustler 

 together and we have confidence that this combina- 

 tion will be a good one. A valuable feature of this 

 variety is that it seems to please buyers on the large 

 markets. Many other varieties will be passed by in 

 order to get the Hustler. The accompanying illus- 

 tration shows the shape and size of the berries. If 

 growers really knew how good this was, we believe 

 our large stock would be entirely sold out long before 

 the shipping season begins. Price, Sio per 1,000. 



Kansas f rru ' t ' s above medium in size and the 

 * plants are immensely productive. The 

 color is a brilliant crimson clear through the berry. 

 It is one of the most fragrant of Strawberries and 

 the plants are free from rust and other diseases.

J 01 immensely large 



berries that are highly colored and almost perfectly 

 round. The quality is very good but the extra- 

 large size is the most prominent feature of the 

 variety and when picked a basket of these berries 

 is about as fancy as Strawberries can be. The intro- 

 ducer says of it: "I regard it as the most beautiful 

 Strawberry I have ever seen. Blossoms are strongly 

 staminate and are held up by the foliage; the yield 

 is enormous; berries are of immense size, truly 

 mammoth, heart-shaped with blunt apex, and 

 exceptionally uniform in shape and size; surface is 

 smooth and of a most beautiful color; and the 

 berries are of meaty texture which makes them less 

 liable to 'bleed' when handled." We recommend 

 it for trial as a fancy, very large, late berry. See 

 illustration below. Price. 55 per 1,000.
