SENATOR DUNLAP.— For those who de- 

 sire a heavy crop of fruit but do not care much 

 about the size of the individual berries, this 

 is the variety to plant. It does well on any 

 soil excepting that which is so low and damp 



as to be really sour. Of good quality for a 

 firm berry and the berries are uniform in color 

 and shape. Largely planted for market and 

 found very profitable. It is a second early 

 to midseason variety. 



SHARPLESS.— A variety that fruits rather 

 late in the season and a good old sort that still 

 "holds its own'' with the best of them. It is 

 a good healthy grower and produces handsome 

 large berries of fine quality. One of the best 

 varieties for forcing under glass. 



STEVENS LATE CHAMPION.— Here is 

 another descendant of the Gandy. Like its 

 parent, it ripens late and is similiar to it in 

 many respects; but it is nearly twice as pro- 

 ductive, giving about double the quantity of 



fruit from a given space. However, the ber- 

 ries are not so uniform in size and shape and 

 not nearly so handsome as the Gandy. House- 

 wives will find it excellent for canning, since 

 it will hold its shape and retain its flavor. It 

 is one of the most prolific and valuable of the 

 late varieties. 



SUCCESS— All things considered, this is one 

 of the best early varieties, both for the home 

 garden and nearby market. Berries slightly 

 oblong, with blunt end, bright scarlet or flame 

 color, quite large and uniform in size, color 



and shape. Plants are vigorous, healthy, and 

 very prolific. It is an improved form of the 

 famous Chas. Downing of bygone days. 



ST. MARTIN.— A berry that is fully as high 

 in quality as Marshall, the recognized aristo- 

 crat of exacting strawberry epicures, and at 

 the same time a sort that retains its large size 

 right through the season, which Marshall does 

 not. It is. further, a very large berry, of solen- 

 did shape and color: in short, to describe it 

 briefly, is to call it Perfection. Ripens from 

 midseason to late; it is really an all-season 

 variety. Gives best results when planted on 

 rich cla}" loam, in fact, we do not feel that we 

 can recommend it for light soil or for planting 

 south of Philadelphia. Dozen, $1.50; 100. $8.00. 



WM. BELT.— Of all the Strawberries grown 

 in the L'nited States, this variety doubtless ex- 

 cels in popularit}-. The plant is vigorous, 



though not a rampant grower, succeeds upon 

 almost all soils, invariably yields heavily and 

 the berries are always of large size and highest 

 qualit}'. 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 continues until almost the close of 

 the season, the last berries being large, hand- 

 some and full-flavored.
