42 HARRISONS' NURSERIES 



EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES, continued 



SUPERB. This variety is well named, and it is often a question whether Superb 

 is not the equal of Progressive. So far as growth is concerned the two are 

 almost identical, but Superb does not bear such great clusters of fruit. Superb 

 seems to be a better variety for the North than the South. It is a good va- 

 riety for home-gardens or for growing on a large scale for market. The fruit 

 is firm, ships well, and appeals to the buyer who caters to a high-class trade 

 as well as to the consumer who likes to have delicious berries late in the year.

Early Strawberries 



Early Ozark. Extra-good variety for first markets. Plants healthy, with 

 many large deep red berries. The fruit that brings real money at the open- 

 ing of the season.

 productive and will replace Mitchell's Early wherever tried. Shape and color 

 like a Wilson; plant is large and robust. 



Mitchell's Early. Extra early. Healthy, rampant, many crowns; berries 

 scarlet, rich, mild, acid.

 fruiter. 



Mid-Season Strawberries 



1^1 QMI^YI^F Berries uniform, shapely, rich dark red, mild and delic- 

 * ious, very juicy, and handsome, sell quickly. Plants are 

 tall, compact; stalks strong; leaves light green. Abundant runners and an un- 

 usual number of crowns. Yields are wonderful. Blossoms are perfect but do 

 not fully fertilize themselves and need other sorts near. The name is sug- 

 gestive of the results this variety brings — often a gold mine would fall behind 

 this Strawberry in bringing profits. Our best-paying early berry.

^ istics. Color is a beautiful bright red, neither dark nor light. Foliage is dark 

 and waxy. Berries thick, rneaty , fine grained,^ often weighing an ounce and a 

 quarter each. Plants thrive in any soil and in any section, and have stout 

 crowns, with very short stems.

 medium to large, rich, bright red, long and pointed, and very tempting in 

 appearance. Will thrive in any soil and under almost all conditions; dark, 

 long leaves; lots of strong runners formed; crops are nearly always large. 

 Should be well pollenized by other kinds growing near.

 runners. Thrives in all soils, but best in rich loam or sand. Berries meciium to 

 large, regular, glossy pink, solid, meaty, excellent.
