U. S. KING EDWARD 



WILLIAM BELT 



k 



"The rich man's berry, poor man's berry, lazy 

 man's berry, and the market man's berry. If one 

 wishes to grow the largest number of quarts to the 

 acre and has to sell at low prices, this is the berry 

 to grow every time. It is not one of those large 

 coarse, over-large berries, but of uniform size 

 throughout the season; indeed, every berry looks 

 as though they were all run in the same mould. 

 They are a very attractive light scarlet color . . . 

 The plant is a strong staminate variety and is 

 just loaded with fruit. Quarts, quarts, quarts; 

 as thick as cultivated Cranberries. It is a mortgage 

 lifter. Unfortunately, there are two Strawberries 

 by this name, King Edward. One originated in 

 England and the best one in America. You want 

 the U. S. King Edward because it is the best. 

 Ripens in mid-season." 



Of all the Strawberries grown in the United States, 

 this variety doubtless excels in popularity. The 

 plant is vigorous, though not a rampant grower, 

 succeeds upon almost all soils, invariably yields 

 very heavily and the berries are always of large size 

 and high quality. Its flesh is solid and deep crimson 

 in color, while the blossoms are large with abundance 

 of pollen. It begins to ripen quite early and con- 

 tinues until almost the close of the season; the last 

 berries being large, handsome and full-flavored. 

 Indeed, it is a king among Strawberries, as it is 

 firm and among the largest — many of the berries 

 being of great size — and gives large pickings for a 

 longer period than almost any other variety. 

 Price, pot-grown plants, dozen, 50c; 100. S3. 00: 

 1000, $25,00, except as otherwise noted.
