Missionary.' — A 



very popular 

 market berry 

 for long dis- 

 tance shipping. 



Especially rec- 

 ommended for 

 the South. 



Medium Early Varieties 



MISSIONARY. A good standard market berry for many sections of the South. 

 It is the very best variety for Florida. The fancy berries we see on the Northern markets 

 in the winter months, selling for 50 cts. and more per quart are Florida Missionaries. 

 It will produce a crop with as little moisture as any variety we know of. The blossoms 

 are perfect and the berries are handsome in appearance. 



Florida and Gulf Coast growers should buy our healthy, vigorous plants in Feb- 

 ruary or March to grow their stock plants from for early fall planting. There are no 

 better plants than ours for this purpose. Price list page 35. 



Dr. Burrill. Our orignal stock of this variety was obtained from the introducer, 

 and after growing it for several years we could find no difference from the Senator 

 Dunlap. The introducer insisted there was a difference, so last season we bought another 

 stock of plants from him and planted some of our Dunlap right beside it. So far as we 

 can tell from vigor of plant growth and other foliage characteristics, there seems to be 

 no difference. We shall watch these very closely at fruiting time to see just what dif- 

 ference, if any, we can detect. It is a very vigorous grower and a heavy cropper. The 

 berries are medium sized, fairly good shippers and excellent for canning and table use. 

 Blossoms perfect. Good pollenizers. Price list page 35. 



Early Jersey Giant. A very large medium early berry of highest quality. Coni- 

 cal in shape, deep red in color. Large green caps which make fruit very attractive. 

 Blossoms perfect. Berries large and firm and delicious in quality. Good for fancy 

 trade. Price list page 35.
