KLONDYKE, the Great Southern Market Berry. 



KLONDYKE. The leading market berry of the Southern States. The reasons it is so 

 liked are many. The plant is a vigorous grower and quite healthy. It bears a good 

 crop and the berries are medium to large in size, ripen evenly all over and are rather 

 light in color and most important of all, are firm enough to ship hundreds of miles and 

 still go in market in perfect condition. Not a home-garden, or local market berry, 

 but one of the best for shipping. Price list page 35. 



SENATOR DUNLAP. (Dr. Burrill). Probably the most widely grown berry 

 throughout the country north of the Mason and Dixon line, unless it is Premier. Sen- 

 ator Dunlap is universally a favorite. It does well on any type of soil in any locality. 

 The plants are rather small and on rich land should be kept thinned somewhat to se- 

 cure best fruit. They have long fibrous roots which make them good drought resisters. 

 Berries medium to large in size, bright rich red clear through and of fine quality. The 

 blossoms are perfect and produce a lot of pollen making Dunlap one of the best to plant 

 with Haverland, Paul Jones or Warfield. For the inexperienced grower Dunlap is safe. 

 For the experienced grower Dunlap is one of the best, if not the best, of the medium 

 early varieties. It has been tried and found worthy. Price list page 35. 



Tennessee Proline. A fairly vigorous grower. Perfect blossoms. Very pro- 

 ductive of medium-sized, good quality berries, which are rather light in color. Good 

 for home use or local market, but not firm enough to stand shipping. Price list page 35. 



Mid-Season Varieties 



Abington. An old standard most popular in Massachusetts and other parts of 

 New England. Berries large, good quality. Blossoms perfect. Price list page 35. 



DELICIOUS. A new variety which we are growing this year for the first time. 

 The introducer says of it, "The plants are vigorous and healthy and root very deeply. 

 Foliage is especially resistant to leaf spot. It is immensely productive and the berries 

 of the last picking are nearly as large as the first. Even in poor soil it will produce a 

 large crop of good sized berries. They are a dark red throughout from surface to center, 

 and exceedingly easy to pick and hull. Their flavor is delicious beyond description. 

 We have the strongest assurance that Delicious is destined to become one of the world's 

 most popular and widely grown varieties." They also say that it is more delicious in 

 quality and more productive than any other midseason variety. As stated above, we 

 have not yet fruited this variety, but judging by the plant growth it is very promising.

Eaton. Another new variety for which the introducer makes big claims. He 

 says, "The berries are of deep red color which extends to the heart of the fruit and are
