GANDY. — Almost every berry grower 

 knows this old and trusted friend. It was intro- 

 duced by us thirty-two 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 ver>^ large, the 

 flavor is rather acid and not of the highest qual- 

 ity. It approaches perfection in vigor and growth 

 of plant ; but except upon moist soil under high 

 culture, it is only moderately productive. It is 

 late to very late in ripening. 



GLEN MARY. — Mid-season. Wonderfully 

 high quality and great productivity are the lauda- 

 ble qualities of this variety : it is also a fine 

 strong grower. As it is inclined to be lacking 

 in pollen it should be planted near some variety 

 that is free in pollen, such as Joe. 



HUNDRED DOLLAR. — A very valuable 

 mid-season variety. The plant is a strong vig- 

 orous grower and among the most prolific. It 

 ripens in mid-season, the berries average very 

 large indeed, the color is bright scarlet and the 



quality mild, sweet and luscious. It is not very 

 firm — not firm enough for long shipment. There 

 are indeed few varieties more valuable for near- 

 by markets or for the home garden. It reminds 

 us of the famous Chas. Downing of forty years 

 ago, but is superior to that grand old variety, 

 even in its palmy days. 



JOE (Joe Johnson, Big Joe). — This most 

 valuable strawberry ripens just after the Chesa- 

 peake, equals it in size, firmness and yield, sur- 

 passes it in color and flavor ; but, unlike it, suc- 

 ceeds upon almost all soils, and under all con- 

 ditions : hence it is more valuable. It is a mid- 



season 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 gar- 

 den and market growing. 



y LUPTON.— One of the most attractive and 

 largest berries we have ever seen. We consider 

 it one of the best sorts, if not the very best, 

 fruiting late in the season. It is somewhat like 

 the Gandy in every wa}', except it is far more 

 prolific, being, in fact, a very heavy yielder, and 

 ripens about five or six days earlier. Berries 

 are large, bluntly conical, 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. Prac- 

 tically ideal in growth of plant and vigor.
