GANDY. — Almost every berry grower knows 

 this old and trusted friend. It was introduced 

 by us thirty-four years ago and has been 

 largely grown ever since. The texture is of 

 the firmest and the color a bright flame. After 

 picking, this bright color remains until decay. 



Although the berries are large to very large, 

 the flavor is rather acid and not of the highest 

 quality. It approaches perfection in vigor and 

 growth of plant; but except upon moist soil un- 

 der high culture, it is only moderately pro- 

 ductive. It is late to very late in ripening. 



HUNDRED DOLLAR.— A very valuable 

 midseason variety. The plant is a strong, 

 vigorous grower and among the most prolific. 

 The berries which are hardly firm enough for 

 distant shipment, average xery large indeed; 



the color is bright scarlet and the quality mild, 

 sweet and luscious. There are indeed few vari- 

 eties more valuable for nearby markets or for 

 the home garden. It reminds us of the fam- 

 ous Chas. Downing of forty years ago, but is 

 superior to that grand old variety, even in its 

 palmy days. 



Montgomery Co., Pa., June 2, 1922. 

 "Please send me list of your strawberry plants with 

 prices for August delivery. Those you sent me last year 

 are doing finely." — Henry W. Coxe. 



Fairfield Co., Conn., Mar. 6, 1922. 

 "Am particularly interested in your Everbearing Straw- 

 berries which I have nev«r seen anything to equal." — 

 Mrs. Webster C. Givens. 



JOE. — This most valuable strawberry ripens 

 just after 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 it is more 



valuable. It is a midseason to late variety and 

 very productive of very large, beautiful berries, 

 with large bright-green calyx, and is one of the 

 best in flavor. 



Joe is well nigh ideal both for the home 

 garden and market growing. 



LUPTON.— We consider this one of the best 

 sorts, if not the very best, fruiting late in the 

 season; furthermore, it is one of the most pro- 

 ductive and largest berries we have even seen. 

 In many respects it is quite like Gandy, though 



it is far more prolific, in fact, Lupton is a very 

 heavy yielder. Berries are large, bluntly con- 

 ical, bright flame colored, glossy and retain 

 their color after being picked; has a large, 

 double dark-green calyx or "burr," hence is 

 very showy; it is also very firm. Practically 

 ideal in growth of plant and vigor. 



Rochester. N.Y., Aug. 31. 1921. 

 "Several years ago I purchased from you a number 

 of Early Jersey Giant Strawberry plants. These have 

 increased and 1 finally have a bed of 30x15 ft. of the 

 most excellent plants. The bed has always borne beauti- 

 fully, and has really been the envy of neighbors and 

 friends. A relative who in years past was engaged in 

 truck gardening said he never saw such berries." — C. R. 

 Lyddon.
