Medium Early Varieties 



Coop 



pi> This variety was introduced a 

 ^' few years ago by Michigan 

 growers. It does not seem to have lived up 

 entirely to the wonderful claims and predic- 

 tions made for it, but Cooper is a good variety. 

 It makes a few strong healthy plants rather 

 than a real thick bed of smaller plants. The 

 berries average very large in size and the 

 quality is excellent. Its main value, we be- 

 lieve, will be for local market where growers 

 want a berry a little larger than Premier, 

 even though not quite as productive. Other- 

 wise we can see no reason for planting Cooper 

 when a variety like Premier is available. We 

 have a nice stock of good true to name plants 

 for those who know and like Cooper. Price 

 list, page 23.

either identical with Senator Duniap or so 

 nearly like it that there is no reason for grow- 

 ing them as separate varieties. For descrip- 

 tion see Senator Duniap. Price list, page 23. 



Senator Duniap (Dr. Burreii) 



An old standard variety that has been widely 

 grown in the middle and northern states for 

 many years. It is gradually being replaced 

 by Premier because Premier berries are ear- 

 lier, larger fruited, better quality and more 

 handsome in appearance. Duniap is still growTi 

 by many of its old friends and we have a nice 

 stock of plants for those who know and w-ant 

 it. Berries are medium in size, bright rich red 

 clear through, and fair to good in quality.

Frillflanrl A new early berry, popular 

 I U 1 1 1 d I ■ U around Fruitland, Maryland, 

 as a shipper. The plants are vigorous, healthy 

 and the berries are firm, large in size, and 

 show up well as a shipping berry. Starting 

 in medium early, runs well into midseason. 

 Those who have grown it most claim that it 

 will out-sell Premier and compare favorably 

 with it in yield. Price list, page 23. 



Klondvk© '^^ leading market berry 

 *^'*^ '*^/ ^ in many sections of the 

 South. Uniform shape, medium size, light in 

 color and an excellent shipping beii'y. Plant 

 growth is vigorous but only medium in pro- 

 ductiveness. Berries ripen evenly all over and 

 this, with the uniform shape and firm texture, 

 has made Klondyke a favorite with canners 

 and preservers. As stated on page 11, we 

 believe Blakemore would be superior to Klon- 

 dyke in every particular, but a variety as 

 popular as Klondyke has been will not be 

 dropped in only one or two years. Many 

 grow-ers will still want Klondyke and we have 

 some extra good plants at very moderate 

 prices. Price list, page 23. 



K^lccinnrirv Leading berry in Florida 

 IVIIddlUlldl y ^rij popular in Southern 

 States. Missionary will do well on almost all 

 soils, but will do better than most on the 

 lighter soil types. The beiTies are medium in 

 size, dark red in color, rather tart quality, and 

 atti'active in appearance. It is a very good 

 shipper and is also a favorite with the "cold 

 pack" or "juice" men. Price list, page 23. 



Mid-Season Varieties 



K^ A r^ drill ^^^ °^ ^^^ oldest varieties 

 I VI at d 1 1 a 1 1 j^Q^y being grown. Has al- 

 ways been knowTi as a fancy garden berry. 

 Eather hard to grow perhaps, but well worth 

 the effort. In the past Marshall has taken 

 many prizes, on account of its size, quality 

 and appearance. Price list, page 23. 



HarVP^f" KinJJf "^^^ variety must 

 iiniTv.Ji. ixiii^ have some merit as 



it has been introduced enthusiastically by re- 

 sponsible growers in Michigan. With us in 

 two seasons' trial, however, it has been vei-y 

 disappointing. The beds, clear up until bloom- 

 ing time and after, look quite promising, but 

 with the warmer weather and the maturing of 

 the crop both plants and beriies seem to dry 

 up and become practically worthless. Perhaps 

 like Glen Mary, Harvest King must be kept 

 pretty well north to be of any value. The 

 introducers say that it resembles Premier in 

 size, color, shape, quality and productiveness; 

 that it defies late frosts like Premier; sells 

 above other good varieties, and is one of the 

 greatest canning berries on record. We would 

 not recommend it even for trial except in lati- 

 tudes as far north as Pennsylvania and Ohio. 

 We have a moderate stock of fine, well rooted 

 plants. Price list, page 23. 



CIgII MarV *^^ standard variety, 

 Ni^ i^ai iviaijr well and favorably known 

 to many commercial strawberry growers in 

 the north. A vigorous gi'ower, producing 

 large crops of good-sized, irregular-shaped 

 berries. Glen Mary has many times produced 

 as much as 10,000 quarts per acre under good 

 conditions. It does not do w'ell in the South 

 on account of leaf spot or rust. Price list, 

 page 23. 



New HODG ^ "^^^ variety grown in 

 ''^' iiv/pc ^Y\e late strawberry sec- 

 tion of this county. Claimed by the two or 

 three growers who have it to be larger and 

 more productive than Big Joe and a better 

 money maker than even the Chesapeake. Any 

 variety that has a chance of being that good 

 is worth trying out in a small way. Price 

 list, page 23. 



R^n Hoarfr Another development of 

 l\CU B ICdl I the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture. A vigorous, healthy 

 grower, moderately productive. Bei-ries large, 

 high quality, rich red clear through. Recom- 

 mended by the Department as a canning berry 

 for the Northwest and for trial as a high 

 quality dessert berry or canning berry on the 

 heavier and richer soils of the middle and 

 northern states. Price list, page 23.
