4 Catalog of C. S. Perdue's Strawberry Plant Farm, Showell, Md. 



BIG JOE. (Late). A most excellent variety. It makes 

 more plants than Chesapeake. Makes just enough plants for a 

 good crop of really fancy berries. A bright red in color and fine 

 flavor and will bring highest market prices. It is the very best 

 one of the late kinds and will give satisfaction. I have a large 

 and fine stock of Big Joe plants. Let me have your order for 

 them. They will please you. See picture of Big Joe on first 

 cover page. 



y CHESAPEAKE. (Late). A very fine late kind on account 

 of its many excellent qualities. A good grower of plants that are 

 extremely large and vigorous which bears a good crop of excep- 

 tionally large berries of a bright red color, fine flavor and excel- 

 lent quality. Indeed they are really fancy berries and bring 

 fancy prices on the market. You will not make any mistake if 

 you plant Chesapeake for late berries. It ripens its crop a few 

 days earlier than Gandy. 



AROMA. (Late). A standard variety and one of the late 

 kinds that you can depend on for a good crop of fine berries. Of 

 excellent qual'ty. A good sharing kind that sells for high 

 prices in the market. It will make enough plants for a good crop 

 of fancy berries. For late berries plant Aroma. 



Mc ALPINE. (Late). It makes quite a lot of plants and I 

 believe it will succeed on most all kinds of soil. Berries are large 

 size, dark red color and very firm, a good shipping variety on ac- 

 count of its excellent keeping qualities. 



BR ANDY WINE. (Late). Plants are large size and vigor- 

 ous. Berries are dark red color and good quality. Very popu- 

 lar in some sections of the country. 



AMANDA. (Late). A good grower of vigorous and 

 healthy plants that are of large and upright growth. Berries 

 are extra large size and good quality. 



MASCOT. (Very Late). The very latest kind that bears 

 a good crop of berries. Very large and excellent quality and 

 flavor. A good grower of plants. For very late berries plant 

 Mascot. 



Dear Sir: Indiana, May 27, 1917. 



I received strawberry plants May 16th in fine condition. The 2500 plants 

 you sent me a year ago are certainly fine berries, can't be beat. Surely well 

 pleased with Gandy, Dunlap and Big Joe. Thank you for your promptness in 

 filling the order. Frank Baxter.
