HUNDRED DOLLAR 



A very valuable midseason variety. The claim of the introducer that "There is not another variety 

 of Strawberry that will outyield this giant or surpass it in quality" has been fulfilled, to a large degree at 

 Monmouth. The plant is a strong vigorous grower, and among the most prolific. It ripens in midseason, the 

 berries average very large indeed, the color is bright scarlet and the quality mild, sweet and luscious. It is 

 not very firm — not firm enough for long shipment. There are indeed few varieties more valuable for nearby 

 markets or for the home garden. It reminds me of the famous Chas. Downing of forty years ago, but is 

 superior to that grand old variety, even in its palmy days. 



JOE Joe Johnson, Big Joe 



This much named and justly famous variety was 

 produced by Mr. Elias S. Black of Little Silver, 

 X. J., ex-president of the New Jersey State Horti- 

 cultural Society, who named it Joe, and introduced 

 it over twenty years ago. It is a midseason to late 

 variety, and very productive of very large beautiful 

 berries, with large bright green calyx. In flavor it is 

 one of the best, is a perfect table and canning 

 strawberry, and a superior shipper. 



This most valuable strawberry ripens with the 

 Chesapeake, equals it in size, firmness and yield, 

 surpasses it in color and flavor, but unlike it, succeeds 

 upon almost all soils, and under all conditions — 

 hence is more valuable. 



It has been definitely proved by test that Joe, 

 Big Joe and Joe Johnson are one and the same 

 variety. Dozen, 60c; 100, S3. 50; 1000, S30.00. 



MARSHALL Henry 



An old variety highly esteemed by many, 

 especially in the New England states and New York. 

 It is a large beautiful berry of rich quality and meaty 

 texture, but one that is decidedly unproductive 

 except upon fertile soil and under high culture. 

 Plant of vigorous growth with clean healthy foliage. 

 Ripens in midseason. 



McKINLEY 



Until the appearance of the Van Fleet Hybrids, 

 this variety was unrivalled as a Strawberry of high 

 quality. Berries large, handsome and freely pro- 

 duced on strong growing, healthy plants. Ripens 

 in mid-season and is too tender in texture to endure 

 shipment. It is pre-eminently a variety for the 

 home garden.
