STRAWBERRY PLANTS OF QUALITY 



Gandy — (Per) The quality of the 

 Gandy is known in every berry mar- 

 ket throughout this country and us- 

 ually brings top prices. Berries are 

 borne on upright stems well above the 

 leaves and dirt. Will not spoil if pick- 

 ing is neglected for a day or two af- 

 ter they are ripe. The Gandy is at 

 home on black springy soil or light 

 clay loam but do not plant on high 

 sandy soil. The plants are strong and 

 vigorous, a perfect bloomer but for 

 best results should be set with Big- 

 Joe, Chesapeake or some other good 

 perfect sort as it is deficient in pollen. 



Kellogg's Big Late— (Imp) Kel- 



logg's big late is one of the best late 

 pistillate varieties in size, quality and 

 productiveness and has been thor- 

 oughly tested. It is a good grower 

 making enough plants for a good 

 fruiting bed. Its foliage grows tall 

 and spreading and can be easily told 

 from any other variety. A deep rooter 

 therefore a good drouth resister. A 

 heavy producer of medium to large, 

 glossy, bright red berries with an ex- 

 cellent flavor. A good shipper and 

 keeper. The introducer says: 'The 

 color of the berries is a deep scarlet, 

 seeds bright yellow, calyx bright 

 green, and the fruit stems are large, 

 making a combination which attracts 

 the attention of the buyer, no matter 

 how many other berries are offered in 

 competition. 



Wm. Belt — (Per) Whenever qual- 

 ity and large size are considered Wm 

 Belt ranks with the best. Is probably 

 the most popular fancy variety and 

 always brings fancy prices. It is quite 

 productive of extra large berries that 

 are bright red all over, firm and of the 

 very best quality. 



Lupton — (Per) A fancy late va- 

 riety that is here to stay. It is a 

 comparative new variety hailing from 

 New Jersey where it has become very 

 popular as a shipping variety. It is 

 a strong, healthy grower; makes 

 plants freely. The fruit is large and 

 very firm, making an extra good ship- 

 per and keeper. Color, a rich shiny 

 red all over, no green tips, with a 

 large green calyx that adds much to 

 its beauty, and for the above reasons 

 is a money maker. Do not plant for 

 home use as it is of poor eating qual- 

 ity but a fine late commercial variety 

 for long distance shipping and one I 

 believe our southern growers should 

 try for shipment north. 



Ford — (Per) A medium late vari- 

 ety introduced about 9 years ago and 

 is steadily growing in favor in all 

 parts of the country, and is being 

 largely planted in this section. It is a 

 strong healthy grower, and makes 

 good beds on most any soil. The ber- 

 ries are very uniform in size and 

 shape and has a full size green cap 

 that adds much to its appearance. 

 Very productive of medium to large 

 bright red berries that are red to the 

 center, juicy, firm and of excellent 

 flavor. 



Kellogg's Marvel — (Per) Origi- 

 nated in Wisconsin and introduced by 

 R. M. Kellogg Co., in 1922 and is said 

 to be a cross of Senator Dunlap and 

 Warfield. The plants resemble Dun- 

 lap but are much larger and are said 

 to be more productive of large dark 

 red berries of excellent quality. 



Aroma — (Per) Strong sturdy 

 plants that are heavy producers of 

 large round dark red berries. A 

 strictly high flavored high class mar- 

 ket berry; good shipper and keeper. 

 A standard late variety in many of 

 the great strawberry growing sec- 

 tions. 



Sample — (Imp) An old standard 

 medium late variety that pleases all 

 who grow it and largely planted by 

 commercial growers in most all sec- 

 tions; also fine for home use. A good 

 producer of large size, excellent qual- 

 ity, berries, that are bright red in col- 

 or, firm and of rich flavor. Should be 

 pollenized with some good variety like 

 Big Joe or Ford. 



Chesapeake — (Per) A very pop- 

 ular variety with most all strawberry 

 growers on account of its many good 

 qualities. Plants are very large size, 

 dark green in color very vigorous and 

 healthy, no rust or disease of any 

 kind. Fruit uniformly large, of beau- 

 tiful appearance, firm without green 

 tips, and of best eating quality. Al- 

 ways sells for top prices. Chesapeake 

 is rather particular as to soil to make 

 many plants but if you have land to 

 suit it you could not go wrong in 

 planting it. Does best in rich, springy 

 soil, where it will make enough plants 

 for a good fruiting bed. Well known 

 and extensively planted wherever 

 strawberries are grown.
