STEVENS' LATE CHAMPION 



A dsscendant of the Gandy, It ripens late,, 

 and is similar to the Gandy in many respects; 

 except that it yields nearly or quite twice as 

 many quarts of berries upon a given space and 

 the berries are not so uniform in size and shape 

 and by no means so handsome. One of the most 

 prolific and profitable of the late varieties for 

 market growing and a valuable sort for the home 

 garden. Dozen, 50c.: 100. $3.00. 



U. S. KING EDWARD 



A prominent strawberry grower of Massachu- 

 setts says: "It is the rich man's berry, poor man's 

 berry, lazy man's berry and the market man's 

 berry. If one wishes to grow the largest number 

 of quarts to the acre and has to sell at low prices, 

 this is the berry to grow every time. It is not 

 one of those large coarse, over large berries, but 

 of uniform size throughout the season; indeed, 

 every berry looks as though they were all run in 

 the same mould. They are a very attractive light 

 scarlet color . . . The plant is a strong stam- 

 inate variety and is just loaded with fruit. 

 Quarts, quarts, quarts; as thick as cultivated 

 Cranberries. It is a mortgage lifter. Unfor- 

 tunately, there are two Strawberries by this 

 name. King Edward. One originated in England 

 and the best one in America. You want the U. S. 

 King Edward because it is the best. Ripens in 

 midseason." Dozen, 50c.; 100, $3.00. 



THREE V/'S 



A Tennessee variety that has made many 

 friends in all parts of the country and is rapidly 

 gaining popularity. And well it may, for it is so 

 sweet it can be enjoyed without sugar, an abun- 

 dant bearer of large, beautiful berries for a very 

 long season — from early midseason until the lat- 

 est — and is remarkably firm. The color is deep 

 crimson throughout. The texture is so meaty 

 and the surface so strong it can be kept long 

 after picked and shipped a greater distance in 

 good condition, than almost any other variety. 

 Dozen, 50c.: 100, $3.00. 



WILLIAM BELT 



Of all the Strawberries grown in the United 

 States, this variety doubtless excels in popularity 

 to-day: and well it may, for it is a superb sort. 

 The plant is vigorous, though not a rampant 

 grower, succeeds upon almost all soils, invariably 

 yields very heavily and the berries are always of 

 large size and high quality. Its flesh is solid and 

 deep crimson in color, while the blossoms are 

 large, with abundance of pollen. It begins to 

 ripen quite early and continues until almost the 

 close of the season : the last berries being large, 

 handsome and full-flavored. Indeed, it is a king 

 among Strawberries, as it is firm and among the 

 largest — many of the berries being of great size — 

 and gives large pickings for a longer period than 

 almost anv other varietv. Dozen. 50c.; 100, 

 33.00.
