A rAm/i ^ or man y Y ears Aroma has been the 
MrOlTlQ leading late shipping berry in Ar- 
kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Ken- 
tucky and other southern and central states. Here 
are some of the reasons it has been able to hold 
this leadership. The plants, though small, are very 
vigorous and healthy and make plenty of runners 
for a good fruiting row. They are very productive 
in regions adapted to Aroma. The berries are 
beauties. They have a shiny bright red color which 
darkens very little on holding or shipping. And 
they have the finest, greenest caps of any variety 
to enhance their natural beauty. On top of that, 
they are firm enough to ship long distances and go 
into market in almost perfect condition. 
Aroma has never been a leader in the East, but 
in the states mentioned as well as Southern Ohio, 
Indiana and Illinois, it has been a moneymaker. 
Aroma ranks third among all varieties grown in 
this country. It must be good to hold that position 
year after year. It is good! Our plants will help 
you grow it at its best. Price list, page 35.

Lupton 
"Beauty is only skin deep," but that 
doesn't seem to matter much. Lup- 
ton strawberries are beautiful, but 
under the skin is a flesh that is quite dry and poor 
in quality. In spite of this the beauty of Lupton 
berries, together with their large size and fine ship- 
ping quality, has made Lupton one of the most 
profitable late shipping berries. They are grown 
chiefly in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New 
Jersey and New York, but to some extent in other 
states of similar latitude. Lupton is grown and sold 
as "Townking" but the varieties are identical. As 
stated in the Big Joe description much of the acre- 
age of Lupton is mixed with Big Joe, but if you 
want them true to name, we have them that way.

\hf m 0.(4, A late variety of unusually high 
• • • ^™ ■ ■ quality which is especially adapt- 
ed to Northern states. When 
grown in the South the foliage is inclined to have 
leaf spot. This is not serious in the North where 
it produces heavy crops of large berries. They are 
bright red in color and although somewhat irregu- 
lar in shape they make a nice appearance in the 
package. For the home garden or on local markets 
where quality is an important factor, Wm. Belt 
should be grown. Price list, page 35.
