HUB 



Originated by T. C. Keavitt and said to be a 

 cross between Glen Mary and Sample ; possessing 

 the prolific bearing properties of Glen Mary and 

 the excellencies of fruit of the Sample. The ber- 

 ries are very long and pointed, usually ridged 

 and seamed Tike the Heritage, firm and ripens late. 

 At Monmouth it has not proved a success; the 

 yield being light and its quality below par. Re- 

 quires very high culture. Dozen, 50c. ; 100, $3.00. 



HERITAGE 



A long season variety — from early until late. A 

 most profitable Strawberry. The berries are large, 

 many of them very large, and the yield is heavy. 

 The quality is good and the texture firm, but 

 unfortunately many of the berries are ridged and 

 seamed and the color is not very bright; hence, 

 it does not present an attractive appearance in 

 market. However, the plants are so vigorous and 

 healthy and yield so bountifully it has much 

 value. An excellent sort for the home garden. 

 Dozen, 50c.; 100, $3.00.

The Strawberry plants ordered from you were 

 received in fine condition. They were as fresh as 

 the day they left you, and in one week and a 

 half the Progressives had a blossom on. We are 

 delighted with them. (Mbs.) L. Rudy. 



This Xew England variety I am compelled to 

 admit, has the season just past and the first at 

 Monmouth, proved a disappointment to me. The 

 berries are attractive and of good size and flavor, 

 but the plant by the side of the Van Fleet Hy- 

 brids, Pearl, Progressive and other new and valu- 

 able kinds, attained but small proportions and 

 produced but a moderate crop. At Monmouth it 

 was among the latest to ripen. I received my 

 plants direct from Mr. Warren, the introducer, 

 and I cannot see how there can be any error about 

 them. Undoubtedly it demands a deep, fertile 

 loamy soil and high culture for success. Pot- 

 gro^^^l plant?, dozen, 50c.; 100, $3.00. 



HUNDRED DOLLAR 



The originator claimed so much for this variety 

 that I discounted what he said of it. This year's 

 fruiting, however, has convinced me it was an 

 error to do so; that his statement that there is 

 not "Another variety of strawberry that will 

 outyield this giant in size or surpass it in qual- 

 ity" may be accepted with slight modification. It 

 ripens in midseason, the berries average very large 

 indeed, the color is bright scarlet and the quality 

 mild, sweet and luscious. It is not very firm. 

 The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and among 

 the most prolific. It is a superior variety for 

 the home garden or nearby market. Dozen, 50c. ; 

 100, S3.00. 



British Columbia, CA^*., Dec. 17, 1912. 

 Last September I got seven dozen Strawberry 

 plants from you and they arrived in such perfect 

 condition that I want a few more. Several times 

 I have received plants from firms in the East but 

 they were, in all cases, dried out by the time they 

 reached British Columbia. Some of those I got 

 from you in September have made runners this 

 autumn. Coloxel J. Peters. 



FuLTOx Co., Ga., Sept. 4, 1912. 

 The plants came to hand in due time and in 

 first-class condition, and I must say they were in 

 better shape than any I ever saw; you certainly 

 have an ideal way of growing them and shipping 

 them. I set them out on Labor Day and they are 

 looking just as fresh as can be, although it is 

 very dry and hot here. I. W. Jenkixs.
