the most productive, bearing its enormous 

 crop of large bright red berries on tall, 

 strong stems, which hold the fruit well up 

 from the ground. 



The quality of the fruit is so firm that it 

 is one of the very best shippers. 



If you want the biggest berry — a berry 

 of the best quality, the berry that will keep 

 longest, the berry that will create a sensa- 

 tion on any market and best of all, the berry 

 that will produce the most dollars, you 

 should plant Wyona. 



I purchased my stock from the originator 

 and they are 100% true to name. I have a 

 very large and fine stock of Wyona plants 

 this year. Price list pages 12 and 13.

STRAWBERRIES 



Clipping from The Rural New-Yorker March 1, 1930. 



Several new strawberries are offered by nurserymen 

 as promising. Varieties of strawberries grow so dift'- 

 erently in accordance with environment that it is 

 difficult to make recommendations that apply gener- 

 ally. On the grounds of the New York Station, at 

 Geneva,, one sort stands out as conspicuously meri- 

 torious and is well worth trying in Western New 

 York at least. 



Wyona. — Wyona was introduced as long ago as 

 1923 from Virginia, snd has thus had a long pro- 

 bationary period. It has fruited on the grounds of 

 the New York Station for several seasons where it 

 has always done well, and it is also highly recom- 

 mended by strawberry growers in other States. The 

 fruits are large, the size holding up well throughout 

 the season. The flesh is firm and the quality is 

 good, although sometimes the texture of the flesh 

 is a little coarse in large berries. The vines are not 

 much affected by leaf -spot, and bear better than most 

 any other late sorts. The fruits keep well and the 

 last pickings are nearly as good as the first. No 

 strawberry, however, is perfect, and the chief defect 

 in this one is that the apex colors so slowly that care 

 Qiust be taken in picking to avoid green tips.
