VERY LATE STRAWBERRIES, continued 



are picked. The flavor of the berries is excellent. Kellogg's Prize is one of 

 the most productive very late varieties we have seen and it holds its size 

 well until the end of the season. A good point about this variety is that 

 it gets better with each succeeding season, giving two or three big crops 

 of very fine berries. We are hearing good reports from it everywhere and 

 we have grown a large stock, hoping to be able to supply the demand, 

 which is increasing each year. Price, $5 per 1 ,000. 



MaSCOt. P' ants m ake a strong healthy growth with plenty of runners 



. — - and are very productive. We have picked several quarts of 



this variety, twenty-seven filling a quart-basket heaping full. The berries 

 are rich glossy red and of good quality. Not quite so late as Orem, but in 

 other ways compares favorably with that variety. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 



Orem. ^" s * s tne ver y l atest berry that we have and it is a good one. 



! Many growers, especially those who are supplying a local 



market, are planting Orem to extend their season as long as possible. The 

 plant is a vigorous grower and produces a big crop of large bright red berries 

 that have a beautiful green cap, making them show up very nicely in the 

 package. The berries are excellent in quality and this fact coupled with 

 their large size, attractive appearance, and extreme lateness of season, 

 makes them a valuable variety for the market-gardener. They bring good 

 prices after all other fancy berries are gone. Price, $4 per 1 ,000. 



Pearl '^ P er ^ ect -fl owerm g variety which originated in Indiana. It is 



- claimed that on the farm of the originator it bears large-sized 



fruit several days after the Gandy has ceased bearing. It holds up in size 

 and quality until the last picking. The berries ripen evenly and are of good 

 quality and uniformly large. The foliage is free from rust and is able to 

 withstand the drought much better than most other varieties. Pearl is a 

 good pollenizer of Kellogg's Prize, Sample, and Hustler. Price, $5 per 1,000.
