STEVEN^' LATE CHAMPION.— A de- 

 scendant of the Gandy. It ripens late, and is 

 similar to the Gandy in many respects; except 

 that it yields nearly 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 valuable of the late varieties. 



SUCCESS.— All things considered, this is 

 one of the best early varieties, both for the 

 home garden and nearby market. Berries 



slightly oblong with blunt end, bright scarlet or 

 flame color, quite large and uniform in size, 

 color and shape. Plants are vigorous, healthy, 

 and very prolific. It is an improved form of 

 the famous Chas. Downing of bygone days. 

 The Success has proved to be a decided suc- 

 cess with us. 



WILLIAM BELT.— Of all the Strawber- 

 ries grown in the United States, this variety 



doubtless excels in popularity. The plant is 

 vigorous, though not a rampant grower, suc- 

 ceeds upon almost all soils, invariably yields 

 heavily and the berries are always of large 

 size and highest 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. 



Note. — Late Jersey Giant is without excep- 

 tion the most beautifuj Strawberry we have 

 ever grown, with large berries of high quality; 

 and the plants are prolific. Unfortunately, its 

 foliage of late has shown a tendency to spot 

 or "rust" with us; and for this reason and this 

 reason alone we have decided to discard it. 

 In some sections, we are informed, its foliage 

 remains perfectly healthy and it is ideal in 

 every way. 



FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES 



Price, Pot-grown plants, dozen, $1.25; 100 $7.50. 



The fall-bearing or so-styled "Everbearing" 

 Strawberries are interesting and have merit. 

 Fortunately nearly all of them are excellent in 

 quality and give a heavy yield of fruit in June. 

 The subsequent or autumn crop is much less 

 profuse. If, however, the blossoms are faith- 

 fully removed from the plants until the middle 

 to the last of June, the autumn crop will be 

 very greatly improved — both in size of yield 

 and the berries themselves. Aside from re- 

 moving the blossoms by hand picking the cul- 

 ture of these autumn-bearing varieties is the 

 same as other Strawberries, as set forth on 

 page 3. . 



Upon moist, fertile land our pot-grown plants 

 of these fall-bearing Strawberries give sweet, 

 ripe berries in a few weeks from the time they 

 are planted. We advise "Hill Culture" (done 

 by clipping off all the runners soon after they 

 appear, thus restricting the growth to the 

 parent plants) for best results with these va- 

 rieties.
