Other Late Varieties 
LUPTON 
Aroma 
Lupton is a fancy late shipping berry very 
profitable with many growers. It usually makes 
plants freely. Some attention to spacing and late 
summer fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers would 
pay with Lupton. The plants are very productive 
when grown on good strawberry soil. The berries 
average very large and are very pretty, resembling 
Chesapeake in many respects and being just as good 
as a shipping berry. In quality they are somewhat 
tart and quite dry. This fact, however, probably 
helps explain why they ship so well. It is not con- 
sidered a high quality berry, but its size, condition 
and appearance make Lupton a profitable berry for 
market purposes. It is grown largely in New Jersey, 
also in Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania and 
other eastern states. Lupton is also sold as Town 
King, although if bought under that name the 
plants usually cost more. Price list, page 35. 
is best known as a late ship- 
ping berry from some of the 
southern and western states. 
However, it is grown with fine results in parts of 
Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, and similar latitudes. 
This variety makes lots of rather small runner 
plants so fertilization in late summer would help 
increase the vigor of plant growth and the fruit bud 
formation. The fruit is very light in color with a 
bright green cap which makes this variety one of 
the most attractive and best sellers of all the ship- 
ping berries when properly grown and packed. It 
is distinctly a shipping berry but sells well when 
grown for local markets. Price list, page 35. 
"D*^ T _ ^ _ A beautiful bright red berry 
JD 1H JLitflLe of very high quality. Makes 
a rather vigorous growth, 
but the foliage is not always strong enough to bring 
to a marketable size the heavy crop of fruit which 
is set. Blossoms are imperfect and should be 
planted with Big Joe, Catskill, Gibson or other 
varieties of the same season. Price list, page 35. 
Gibson (Parsons Beauty) 
An old favorite in many strawberry growing sec- 
tions. Plants very productive, berries very good in 
quality and excellent for canning. One proof of its 
worth is the fact that it has been used so much as a 
standard of comparison with so many varieties 
which have been newly introduced. Price list, 
page 35. 
TJ — _ _ _ ^ 1 _ ..J A fine old standard 
Xidl V Wi IdllU variety, handicapped 
by imperfect blos- 
soms. However, they are very hardy and Haverland 
ranks very high in productiveness. Berries are 
large, long conical in shape, light in color and firm 
enough for market if kept picked closely. Price 
list, page 35. 
"M^TTT- Vi-fc This is the sweetest 
A^l W W X UI K strawberry grown. 
The plant is a vigor- 
ous grower, producing a moderate number of large, 
healthy plants. The berries are medium to large in 
size, dark red in color, but only moderately firm in 
texture. New York is a home garden berry. It is 
the only strawberry we know of that is sweet before 
it gets red. We have many calls for New York 
from those whose health does not permit them to 
eat berries which are in any way tart or acid in 
quality. Price list, page 35. 
An old standard variety still 
popular in many sections of 
the middle and northern 
states. Plants are vigorous growers and very pro- 
ductive. Berries are uniform in shape, medium to 
large in size, of good flavor and attractive in appear- 
ance. Blossoms are imperfect. Pollenize with 
Aroma, Big Joe, Gibson or Dunlap. Price list, 
page 35. 
Sample 
W* BELT 
A late variety of unusually high quality which is 
especially adapted to Northern states. When 
grown in the South the foliage is inclined to have 
leaf spot. This is not serious in the north where it 
produces heavy crops of large berries. They are 
bright red in color and although somewhat irregular 
in shape they make a nice appearance in the package. 
For the home garden or on local markets where 
quality is an important factor, Wm. Belt should be 
grown. We have some fine plants for our customers 
this year. Price list, page 35. 
Very Late Varieties 
CANDY 
A fancy late shipping berry, large, solid, hand- 
some, moderately productive. Needs liberal fertili- 
zation. Berries often sell with Chesapeake. Makes 
plants freely but needs springy land for big crops. 
Gandy is an old favorite which many growers refuse 
to give up. Where it does well it is a real profit 
maker. We recommend limiting of Gandy plants 
in the row to four to six plants per square foot and 
fertilizing in late summer. Gandy needs moist con- 
ditions for best results anywhere and with this 
treatment on moist soil or under irrigation Gandy 
would probably surprise even those who know it is 
a fine old berry. Growers who want to extend their 
season very late will probably find Gandy the best 
of all varieties for that purpose. We have a nice 
lot of plants. Price list, page 35. 
The latest berry we have. Berries 
average large in size, fairly good 
quality and nice appearance. They 
often sell well because they come after other fancy 
late berries are past their prime. Price list, page 35. 
13 ^k" e Chesapeake this variety blooms 
JL wan late and escapes frosts. Pearl makes 
plants so freely it often needs thin- 
ning. Our stock of Pearl came from Michigan 
growers who praise the variety very highly. How- 
ever, we find it to be almost identical with Gandy 
and what can be said of one of these varieties 
applies equally to the other. Price list, page 35.
