ALLEN'S BOOK OF BERRIES— 1923 



Big Joe, Large, Fine Quality, Midseason, You Will Like It. 



BIG JOE (JOE JOHNSON) (JOE) 



A very strong grower making plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed. They require 

 little or no thinning because each plant even where the bed is wide will be strong with 

 large heavy crowns and an abundance of roots, that produce big crops of large, bright 

 red berries that have a very attractive light green cap. This adds to their beauty and 

 selling price. Big Joe is popular as a shipping berry, but its strongest points are that it 

 is easy to grow, being very vigorous. The berries are very large and most excellent in 

 quality. For market gardeners who retail their berries or haul them in to city or town 

 markets or for those who sell at the farm or roadside markets, Big Joe should be grown. 

 It is a strong pollenizer making it valuable to plant with Haverland, Paul Jones, Big 

 Late, Sample, and other imperfect flowering varieties. Price list page 35.
