Strawberries and How to Grow 'I'licin 1^ 



excellent qualities and wonderful productiveness make it very profitable to 

 grow either for shippinj^ or home trade. The cap is large and stands ui> 

 prominently: the foliage is light green and a luxuriant grower, with an 

 extra large, glossy-surfaced leaf. The plant is one of the largest and 

 healthiest on the place, equaling in this respect the Marshall. The New 

 York has been grown on light soil and on stiff clay with splendid results in 

 both cases. It is a seedling of the Bubach and Jessie. Since its introduc- 

 tion it has become very popular, and there is a large demand for the plants 

 all over the country, and it sometimes puzzles me to grow enough i)lants 

 to supply the trade. I have had the New York sell on the Philadelphia 

 market for 13 cents Avhen other varieties were a drug at <J and s." 



Peace Maker (Per)— This is our first introduction on tlie market of 

 this variety. Seems to be at the top of the middle varieties. Berries firm, 

 good (luality and siz4\ 1(> to 12 fill quart. 



If&dy Thompson No. 2 (Per)— Originated l)y Mark T. Thompscju. near 

 Richmond, Va. This variety has made a vigorous, healthy growth here, 

 and its firm, dark green foliage makes a beautiful showing. The origi- 

 nator describes it thus : "Large size, beaiitiful color, having the appear- 

 ance of l)eing A'arnished, large double cap like the Gandy: very productive, 

 and l)ears through a long season: very richest and best quality, and one of 

 the best shippers, having a tough skin and not easily' broken by handling. 

 It retains its beautiful dark green foliage all through the season Avithout a 

 spot of rust, and has a perfect blossom." 



Imp. I<ady Thompson (Pen— This is a great Southern berry, and is. 

 grown by the thousand acres in the great strawberrj^ sections of North 

 Carolina, and especiallj" at Chadbourn, where there is proVjably more 

 strawberries grown than in any other single place in the world, fully nine- 

 tenths of the acreage of this place is Lady Thompson, and so far they have 

 found nothing to equal it. It makes strong, healthj' plants that produce 

 large crops with medium large, firm berries. This variety is e6pe_-ially 

 adapted to the South, but is grown to][some extent in other sections. It 

 is a good one for California and the Bermuda Islands. >Ye have greatly 

 improved on the Lady Thompson in the last five years, and would advise 

 all of our southern friends to buy of us. 



Senator Dunlap ( Per)— The Dunlap is one of those healthy i)lants 

 which, if given half a chance, will look out for itself anywhere you plant it. 

 Itisone of those varieties that a beginner may depend on. The berry re-^ 

 sembles the Warfield in shape and color, and ripi^ns about the same time::
