Klondyke, the great Southern market berry. 



Medium Early Varieties 



Cooper. A new variety which we have not yet fruited but which is very highly 

 recommended by both the originator and the introducer. The originator says, "It 

 is the one biggest and best strawberry without a fault. Never a berry with a sign of 

 a core, never a berry that is hollow, never a green tip, a very bright red, a flavor as good 

 as the best, size unequalled, 18 to 25 berries to fill a quart basket. The plants are very 

 large, healthy and very productive." This variety has certainly made a wonderful 

 plant growth with us and we consider it well worth trying. Price list page 35. 



DR. BURRILL. Our original stock of this variety was obtained from the in- 

 troducer and after growing, it for several years we could find no difference from the 

 Senator Dunlap. The introducer insisted there was a difference, so last season we bought 

 another stock of plants from him and set some of our Dunlap right beside it. As far 

 as vigor of plant growth and other characteristics they seem to be the same. At fruit- 

 ing time the same similarity was apparent. If there is a difference between Dr. Burrill 

 and Senator Dunlap it is so slight that it really matters very little which one a grower 

 plants. We are keeping our stock absolutely separate so that anyone wishing to try 

 this out for themselves can do so. Most growers know the Dunlap as a vigorous grower 

 and a heavy cropper. The berries are medium size, fairly good shippers and excellent 

 for canning and table use. The blossoms perfect, strong pollenizers. This descrip- 

 tion is correct for both Dunlap and Dr. Burrill. Price list page 35. 



Early Jersey Giant. A very large medium early berry of highest quality. Coni- 

 cal in shape, deep red in color. Large green caps which make fruit very attractive. 

 Blossoms perfect. Berries large and firm and delicious in quality. Good for fancy 

 trade. Price list page 35. 



KLONDYKE. The leading market berry of the Southern States. The reasons 

 it is so liked are many. The plant is a vigorous grower and quite healthy. It bears 

 a good crop and the berries are medium to large in size, ripen evenly all over and are 

 rather light in color and most important of all, are firm enough to ship hundreds of 

 miles and still go in market in perfect condition. Not a home-garden, or local market 

 berry, but one of the best for shipping. Price list page 35. 



Lady Corneille. A vigorous growing, medium early variety of the Missionary 

 type. The-berries are somewhat longer than Missionary and of better quality Lady 

 Corneille has been especially popular in the same sections where Nick Ohmer, Klon- 

 dyke, Missionary and Aroma are largely grown. It is quite productive,' medium size 

 and a good shipper. Blossoms perfect. Price list page 35.
