I — The Faultless Berry (Per). This is a new variety originated 



Joyce by Mr. Bassett of Salisbury, Md. We obtained a few plants from 

 him and have fruited them in our trial grounds for the past three seasons 

 where they made a remarkable showing. Compared with Big Joe as fol- 

 lows : better plant maker, cleaner, healther foliage, fruit brighter red, more 

 frost resistant, more productive, fruit much larger, fruiting season from 

 five to ten days longer. Quality and firmness the same. 



Two years ago we sold several 

 thousand of these plants to our 

 old customers and in every lo- 

 cality where they were planted 

 they gave excellent results. We 

 visited some of these fields last 

 fruiting season to see for our- 

 selves the quality, productive- 

 ness and plant growth made in 

 these sections. We found it 

 had been an outstanding suc- 

 cess in every locality. All of 

 these growers want more 

 plants this season. They said 

 it was the best midseason 

 berry they had ever growTi; 

 the berries were so large, 

 had such a wonderful color and 

 flavor their customers bought 

 them in preference to any other 

 variety. 



Joyce is a very thrifty grower, 

 producing a fine fruiting bed of 

 strong, vigorous plants; fruits 

 a few days before Big Joe, has 

 an exceptionally long fruiting 

 season; fruit is very large and 

 holds up well to the end of the 

 season. Bright red and of ex- 

 cellent quality, firm; will stand 

 shipment to distant markets and 

 arrive in excellent condition. For 

 home use or roadside market 

 they are unexcelled. 



We ask you all to give Joyce 

 a trial this year and we are sure 

 they will prove your leading 

 June berry. Order early as our 

 JOYCE— We urge you to try this new berry supply of these plants is limited. 



D 11 Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and de- 



oeiimd.r veloped by them, like Blakemore from a cross of Premier 

 and Missionary in 1922 but was not introduced until last season. Recom- 

 mended for trial in comparison with Premier wherever it is adapted for 

 general market. 



Bellmar is a much more vigorous plant maker than Premier and thus will make a 

 better fruiting bed in poor soils and in good soil may need thinning to get best results; 

 blossoms are perfect; a heavy producer, but not quite as heavy as Premier although 

 the appearance and size are somewhat better; ranks high in dessert quality, being less 

 acid than Missionary. The fruit is very firm and will stand shipping well. Commands 

 top prices on any market. Fruit is large, bright red similar to Premier and have a 

 large green calyx and a bright gloss which has caused it to be selected as the most 

 handsome berry among hundreds. We advise you to give this variety a fair trial this 

 season as they certainly look to be a leader for the near future.
