Very Late Varieties 



Gandy. One of the best known of all strawberries. For best results, it should be 

 planted in black swamp land, or in springy land with some clay in its makeup. Never 

 plant Gandy in dry, sandy soil. Gandy has been and still is a great favorite on the 

 market. It is not a heavy producer, but the berries it does produce are uniformly 

 large in size, brilliant in color and have a large, bright green cap, which makes the ber- 

 ries very beautiful and attractive. As a fancy market berry Gandy ranks well up at 

 the top and is really next to Chesapeake, the best shipping fancy berry that we have. 

 In carload lots it sells with Chesapeake bringing a dollar or more per crate in excess 

 of nearly all other varieties of its season. Price list page 35. 



Kellogg's Prize. The berries are large and beautifully formed. They are firm in 

 texture which makes them good for shipping. Kellogg's Prize is one of the most pro- 

 ductive very late varieties we have ever seen and it holds to size well until the end of 

 the season. We believe it is fully as good as Sample, but a little larger, a little more 

 productive and considerably later. Those who know and like Sample will do well to in- 

 clude some Kellogg's Prize to extend their season. The blossoms are imperfect and 

 should be planted with some variety like McAlpin, Wm. Belt or Gandy. Price list 

 page 35. 



Orem. This is the very latest berry we have and is used in many gardening sec- 

 tions to extend the season of large fancy berries. The berries average large in size, are 

 good quality and of handsome appearance. They sell especially well because they come 

 after all other fancy late berries are past their prime. Price list page 35. 



Steven's Late Champion. A vigorous grower and quite productive of large, 

 bright red berries of good quality. Ripens very late, blooms late in the season which 

 makes it almost immune to late frosts. Very popular in New England and the Middle 

 and Northern States. 



Always Right. 



Jackson Co., Mo., February 20, 1922. 



I am sending a small order for plants. I used to raise quite a lot of strawberries but am getting on 

 the old list now, but I must say that I never received any plants that were not in good condition and 

 true-to-name. Thought I would try a few more plants and have something to keep me busy. Will 

 look for plants early.

Fine Plants Bring Second Order. 



York Co., Pa., 

 April 30, 1922. 



I am sending you an order for 

 some more plants. The other plants 

 I received from you were fine. I 

 never saw better rooted plants, 

 would like to have these at once if 

 possible. Am sorry I didn't have 

 them when I got the others. Every 

 plant looks like it is growing. Please 

 fill this order soon.
