 Crescent. Imp. Medium early; medium size, broad wedge-shaped, 



tapering at an obtuse angle. 

 Duncan. Imp. Midseason. Medium to large; brilliant red, with a very firm flesh, subacid flavor and 



excellent appearance. Not a new variety, and yet is little known. It has a great deal of merit. 

 Ekey. Per. Midseason. Attractive plant, very healthy; berry is large, long, conical, slightly necked, 

 bright crimson; good quality but too tender for long-distance shipping. Valuable for nearby markets.

 any other variety we 

 have. Foliage light 

 green; has not shown 

 the slightest blemish, 

 unlike most large kinds, 



Gandy. ^^^- ^^^ latest of all Strawberries we 



^* grow. Not only does it bring the very 



highest prices, but yields tremendous crops of a 

 quality that leaves nothing to be desired in flavor, 

 texture, color and keeping qualities. Berries 

 bright red, with somewhat smooth surface. Foli- 

 age broad and dark green. Berries are borne on 

 long, upright stems, well above the leaves and 

 dirt. Will not spoil if picking is neglected for a 

 few days after they are ripe. As a late market 

 sort and long-distance shipper, it is the best kind 

 we have grown. Plant is perfect bloorner, strong and 

 vigorous, but should be set near other bisexuals. The 

 heaviest crops and most perfect fruit will grow on heavy, 

 Gandy Strawberries "^^^^^^F^ rich, bottom land. Our best-paying late berry.
