The demajid gets 



plants as I can sell, 

 greater every season. 



MASCOT (Per) — Late. The latest berry 

 grown by me, excepting the fall bear- 

 ing sorts. For an all round late variety I 

 know of nothing better. Extra large, 

 fine flavor, productive and has extra long 

 season. There is a great demand for 

 plants, which shows its popularity. Buy 

 the true stock from me. I have a fine 

 stock this season. 



NICK OIIMER (Per)— One of the very 

 ibest late varieties for southern states and 

 excellent shipper. Rich in flavor, good 

 plant maker and a general favorite wher- 

 ever grown. More productive than Gan- 

 dy. Free from rust. 



GANDY (Per)— Late. One of the old 



sorts, which is often referred to in de- 

 scribing other late varieties. Still very 

 popular with a great number of growers. 

 It takes over a million plants of this va- 

 riety every season to supply our trade. 



CHESAPEAKE (Per) — Late. This va- 

 riety seems to be making more friends 

 each season. The greatest complaint is 

 that it seems to be a very poor plant 

 maker in many sections, especially when 

 set on high land. It is not profitable to 

 grow for plants, hence it is not boosted 

 by many of the plant growers. I con- 

 sider the fruit as fine as I have ever grown 

 and it is my favorite table berry. 



STEVENS' L.ATR CHAMPION (Per) — 

 Late. This is strictly a favorite with my 

 northern customers. Size large to extra 

 large, flavor mild, ordinarily firm, not 

 classed as a long distance shipper here, 

 but for home market it is a money mak- 

 er, as it is exceedingly productive. One 

 ■of my best sellers in the North. 



BRANDYWINE (Per) — Late. Dark red, 

 very round in shape, extra productive of 

 the verj'" best quality of fruit. Noted for 

 its shipping qualities. Exceedingly popu- 

 lar with commercial growers in the West, 

 especially California. We have a fine 

 stock of thoroughbred plants. 



PRESIDENT (Per)— Late. This is a 

 strictly fancy late variety, good size, good 

 flavor, suitable for either home or com- 

 mercial use. 



PARKER EARL (Per)— Late. This is 

 a very good late one, but we have better 

 ii^ the Mascot, Gem and many others. 



■i^OVERNOR VAN SANT (Per) — Midsea- 

 son to late. I quote introducer's de- 

 scription. "This is the grandest berry of 

 the century. A test last year, 13,326 

 <iuarts to the acre, was made. Size large, 

 quality good, firm and a good strong 

 plant maker." I saw the fruit the past 

 season at our shipping station and it was 

 certainly grand, bringing the top of the 

 market each day. I liked it so well that 

 I bought the supply of plants from the 

 party ■ growing it here and have about 

 150,000 plants to offer this season. Price 

 $1.00 per 100, plants $7.50 per 1,000. 



> SALTZER'S LATE MASTODON (Per) — 

 Season very latest variety grown. Enor- 

 mous in size, delicious flavor, firm and 

 productive, a strictly fancy variety. Price 

 $1.00 per 100, plants $7.50 per 1,000. 



Southern growers stick to the Klon- 

 dyke, Missionary, Lady Tompson, Excel- 

 sior. Northern growers to Dunlap, Hav- 

 erland, Bubach, Wm. Belt, Sample, etc. 

 We have them all, strictly pure from all 

 disease, strong and thrifty. 



TEDDY R. — Is a seedling from the Pan- 

 American, but like lots of other varieties 

 from that variety does not bear a crop 

 in the summer and fall every season. 

 When the season is right for it it has 

 them all a going as to quality and pro- 

 ductiveness, but I do not recommend it 

 as a true type fall-bearing variety. It is 

 one of the latest to bloom in the spring 

 and is certain for a bumper crop of large, 

 firm fruit of good quality and for this 

 reason I recommend it to all growers, 

 especially small gardeners who have local 

 market and run their wagons daily. It 

 begins to ripen about the time other late 

 varieties are winding up. Price, $1 per 

 100, $7.50 per 1,000. 



Griffin, Fla. 

 Dear Sir: — ^The 10,000 plants came to 

 hand in fine shape. I think they are the 

 finest I ever saw shipped out. I shall 

 take pleasure in doing business with your 

 house in the future, and shall advise my 

 friends to order from you when they want 

 something good. 



J. E. GRIFFIN & SON. 

 Letters like the above are very encour- 

 aging to me and always make me strive 

 to even better things. 



E. W. T. 



Ashville, Ohio. 

 Gents: — I have received my plants O. 

 K. They were nice and fresh as when 

 dug from the ground when they arrived. 

 Please send me one of your catalogs next 

 spring, as I wish to get some more plants 

 then. Yours respectfully, 



C. A. LOCKWOOD, 

 Balto Co., Md., April 15, 1912. 

 Received the plants in fine condition. 

 Strictly fine plants. 



J. F. REYNOLDS. 



PERFECT. 



IMPERFECT. 



SET JUST RIGHT.
