Hundred Dollar. — Among the mid-season va- 

 rieties, it is without doubt a very valuable 

 one. In many ways it resembles the Chas. 



Downing of forty years ago; but is superior to 

 that wonderful old variety in its best days. At 

 Monmouth, the claim of its introducer that 

 "There is not another variety of Strawberry 

 that will outyield this giant or surpass it in 

 quality," has been to a large degree fulfilled. 

 The very large, light scarlet berries, mild in 

 quality, sweet and luscious, ripen in mid-sea- 

 son. Few varieties are more valuable for the 

 home garden or for near-by markets; but it is 

 not firm enough for long shipment. 



Joe (Joe Johnson, Big Joe). — This berry, of 

 many names and staunch friends, was intro- 

 duced twenty years ago by Mr. Elias S. Black, 



of Little Silver, N.J., ex-president of the New 

 Jersey State Horticultural Society, and by him 

 named Joe. 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. 



This most valuable strawberry ripens just 

 after the Chesapeake, equals it in size, firm- 

 ness and yield, surpasses it in color and flavor; 

 but, unlike it, succeeds upon almost all soils, 

 and under all conditions; hence it is more val- 

 uable. 



f Lupton. — This sort we consider one of the 

 best if not the very best sort, fruiting late in 

 the season. Undoubtedly it is a seedling of 

 the popular Gandy, both of these varieties origi- 

 nating in the southern part of New Jersey. It 



is somewhat like the Gandy in every way, ex- 

 cept it is far more prolific, being, in fact, a 

 very heavy yielder, and ripens about five or six 

 days earlier. Berries are large, bluntly con- 

 ical, 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. Practically 

 ideal in growth of plant and vigor. Dozen, 

 $1.25; 100, $7.50. 



Marshall. — By many, especially in the New 

 England States and New York, this old va- 

 riety is highly esteemed. The plant, of vig- 



orous growth, with clean, healthy foliage, is 

 decidedly unproductive except upon fertile soil 

 and under high culture. It is a large, beauti- 

 ful berry, of rich quality and meaty texture, 

 ripening in mid-season. One of the best varie- 

 ties for forcing under glass in winter. 



Mobridge, S.D., Aug. 20, 1919. 

 My order came yesterday in first class condition. It is 

 the finest shipment of plants I ever received. 



Mrs. C. E. Lennan.
