Big Joe 



BIG JOE ^J°^ Johnson) is one of the 

 best if not the best of the 

 mid-season to late varieties and the kind to 

 plant if you want a big crop of fancy berries. 

 Beginning to ripen just as the early berries 

 start to run down they often bring a premium 

 of a dollar or two a crate. The plants are 

 exceedingly vigorous and make fine fruiting 

 beds on most any kind of soil that will pro- 

 duce strawberries; makes good under nearly 

 all conditions. 



Berries are bright red in color with a large 

 bright green cap that makes them very at- 

 tractive, firm and of excellent flavor making 

 a fine table berry, are almost perfect in shape, 

 of very large size and produced in great a- 

 bundance for so large a berry. Sells for top 

 prices and whether you retail your berries, 

 sell at the farm or roadside stand or ship to 

 market you should include Big Joe in your 

 plantings -for I am sure you will be pleased 

 with the results. 



J)¥T^¥ A^f> (Dr. Burrill), an old-time favorite throughout the northern half of the coun- 

 try and still grown by many of its old friends, although it is being grad- 

 ually replaced by newer varieties, especially Premier, which is better in most every way. Dun- 

 lap will grow and succeeds under nearly all conditions and with any kind of treatment. A 

 sure cropper and heavy yielder. Berries are medium to large, firm and attractive, juicy and of 

 delicious flavor. 



GA.NDY ^ fancy extra late shipping variety that is very extensively grown in some 

 sections and usually brings top prices for the quality of the Gandy is known 

 in every market throughout the country. Makes plants freely but should be grown on black 

 springy soil as it needs plenty of moisture at fruiting time. The berries are of large size, very 

 firm, being one of our best shippers and will not spoil if picking is neglected for a day or two, 

 are bright red in color, handsome in appearance and of excellent flavor. 



_^j^OJ^^^ Is one of the most popular late 

 varieties on account of its large 

 size, attractive appearance and excellent quality 

 and is extensively planted in all sections of the 

 country and especially in the south and central 

 states where probably there is a larger acreage 

 of Aroma than any other variety. Plants are 

 strong, vigorous growers and are heavy producers 

 of large, round almost perfect shaped berries 

 that are bright red and attractive in appearance. 

 A strictly high-flavored high-class market berry 

 and one that you can ship to distant markets and 

 will reach there in almost perfect condition. A 

 real money-maker in many sections. I have a 

 large supply of Aroma plants this year that I 

 am. offering at attractive prices and can take care 

 of your orders. 



PEARL ^^-' ^^^" described as the latest 

 berry, but with us is about same 

 season as Gandy, and will probably do beter on 

 the lighter soils if they are rich. It blossoms late 

 and often escapes the late frosts, making it de- 

 sirable for frosty locations. The berries are large, Aroma 



dark red, firm and a good shipper. The plants are medium in size, and good plant makers, 

 making plenty of plants for a good bed. Pearl is the variety to plant if you wish to extend 

 the strawberry season for a day or two or have a market for fancy late berries.
