LATE VARIETIES 



Amanda. The largest berry we have ever seen. Plants 

 are large, vigorous and healthy. Blossoms are perfect. 

 The fruit is dark red in color and of good quality. It is 

 very productive. Price $8 per thousand. 



Aroma. One of the finest late strawberries and the 

 only late one grown in many parts of the great straw- 

 berry growing sections < \ the country. The blossoms 

 are perfect and very rich .. pollen, making it good to 

 plant with Hustler, Sample, Haverland, Kellogg's Prize 

 and other fancy pistillate varieties. The berries are 

 large in size, rich in color and deliciously aromatic in 

 flavor. They have handsome green caps, which make the 

 fruit show up exceptionally good in the package. The 

 berries are firm in texture and solid enough to make an 

 excellent shipping berry. Sells with the best. Price $6 

 per thousand. 



BIG LATE (Kellogg's). Our stock was secured from 

 the introducer, so we have them absolutely true-to-name. 

 We fruited it last year and think so well of it that we in- 

 tend to plant it largely for fruit. The berries are super- 

 fine in quality, conical in shape, large in size and are 

 bright, glossy red in color. They are firm enough to ship 

 and handsome enough to command top prices. We expect, 

 in our own planting to pollenize it with Big Joe and we 

 believe these two will make an excellent combination. 

 Price $8 per thousand. 



Brandywine. A good late variety for all sections, es- 

 pecially popular in semi-tropical and tropical sections, as 

 Bermuda, Cuba, Pacific Coast and Gulf states. The plant 

 is healthy and vigorous and produces a fine crop of large, 

 handsome fruit. Price $6 per thousand. 



CHESAPEAKE. The standard of excellence, by which 

 most other fancy berries are compared. With fair grow- 

 ing conditions, just about enough plants are produced 

 for a good fruiting bed, so that you are at no expense in 

 thinning the plants. The foliage is very strong and healthy. 

 The plants are very strong and robust and have very long 

 roots, which make it one of the best drought resisters. 

 Berries are uniformly large, with prominent yellow seeds 

 and an attractive bright green cap, altogether, making 

 Chesapeake one of the most beautiful and attractive ber- 

 ries in the package that we have ever seen. The berries 

 are unexcelled in quality. The plants set a good crop and 

 every blossom matures a berry, the last ones being just 

 about as large as the first. The flesh is very firm in tex- 

 ture and the berries will keep for many days in excellent 

 condition, so that altogether it is an ideal berry for home 

 use, for local market, or for distant shipment. One of 

 the most valuable features of the Chesapeake, especial- 

 ly in the north is that the blossoms don't start out until 

 quite late, which makes it practically frost-proof. Price 

 $10 per thousand. 



Commonwealth. Needs rich soil and high culture, to 

 obtain the best results. Berries are of good quality, large 

 size and high color. Price $10 per thousand. 



Evening Star. The introducer says "Evening Star is 

 the best all around late berry I have ever grown and I 

 have tried out all of them. Berries are very large and 

 firm and it is the latest of all berries on my list." Price 

 $8 per thousand. 



Fendall. The berries are large in size, rather light in 

 color and with large, attractive green caps. Blossoms are 

 imperfect and should be planted with Aroma, Big Joe, 

 Ekey, or Magic Gem. Fendall, like Haverland, is unable 

 to hold the great bunches of fruit off the ground and 

 should be well mulched on this account. Price $8 per 

 thousand. 



First Quality. Especially recommended for New Eng- 

 land and other northern states. Berries are large and 

 pointed, somewhat like the Haverland, altho a little 

 darker in color and better in quality than this variety. 

 Plants are very vigorous and very healthy. Blossoms 

 are perfect, strong pollenizer, making it good to plant 

 with Hustler, Sample, Haverland and other imperfect 

 flowering varieties of its season. Price $8 per thousand. 



Gibson. Berries are large, beautiful dark red in color. 

 Plants quite productive. Bear through long season.
