FINE BERRIES AND MANY 
OF THEM 
We bought Sharpless berries from 
you in November, 1914, and they are 
giving us great satisfaction. We have 
had fine berries this year and a great 
many of them. I am writing now toask you to 
mail your Book of Berries tomy brother. He wants 
to put out a new bed.—Muiss Hattie RIDGELY, 
Baltimore County, Md., April 25, 1917.

SQUARE DEAL 
I have bought plants of you for a good many 
years and always get a square deal. I expect to 
“plant this bed along two of the most prominent 
‘ streets here and I expect hundreds will 
want to know all about the different 
varieties, their quality, productive- 
ness, ability to withstand our hard 
winters, and especially the 
firm from whom I purchased 
them.—Jos. GARRISON, Co- 
lumbia County, Pa., March

SPLENDID SERVICE 
The 2,000 plants I ordered came to 
hand in fine condition and were O.K. 
in quality and quantity. I never saw 
as fine plants and will do all I can for 
you in my neighborhood. Such splendid service 
as you give cannot be too highly recommended. 
I will look for great results—W. S. KERLIN, 
Marion County, Ind., May 7, 1917. 
MEDIUM-EARLY STRAWBERRIES, continued 
Like Senator Dunlap, Longfel- 
Longfellow. low is a good, safe, Epes 
riety to plant. The fruit ripens medium early; the 
berries are large and conical in shape, highly colored, 
and of excellent quality. Longfellow is one of the 
most productive varieties we have ever seen, al- 
though the ground must be very rich and highly fer- 
tilized or the plants simply cannot mature the great 
quantities of fruit which is set. Plant Longfellow in 
rich ground, cultivate them properly, and you will 
be amply repaid at fruiting time. Price, $6 per X,000. 
Anew variety of the Klondyketype 
Matthews. that has given great satisfaction 
where it has been grown. The berries are uniform in 
size, light in color, and of firm texture, resembling the 
Klondyke; but the fruit is larger and more pointed 
and has a more attractive cap than Klondyke. Most 
important of all, it produces more berries per acre. 
If you are growing berries for distant markets, you 
should try the Matthews. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
ae A good standard market berry 
Missionary. for many sections of the South. 
In the middle and southern parts of Florida it is 
practically the only variety that is grown. The fancy 
berries which we see on the northern markets, selling 
from 30 cents to 50 cents per quart in December and 
January, are Florida Missionaries. It is a good va- 
riety for light land, growing vigorously under adverse 
conditions and producing a crop with as little mois- 
ture as any variety we know of. Dealers like Mis- 
sionary on account of its handsome appearance and 
good shipping qualities. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. Fi there is 2 
* sure cropper 
in Strawberries, Senator Dunlap must be that one. 
It is adapted to any type of soil and does well in all 
sections where grown. The plants are rather small, 
but they have long fibrous roots which make them 
good drought-resisters. They are so vigorous that 
the plants must be kept thinned for best results. 
The fruit is bright red with a glossy finish. The seeds 
are a bright yellow and very prominent. The meat 
is bright red all the way through and exceedingly 
juicy. Altogether they make a very handsome ap- 
pearance in the package. Senator Dunlap has per- 
fect blossoms, which produce an enormous amount 
of pollen, making it very valuable for pollenizing im- 
perfect-flowering varieties; all the more so, because 
it commences to bloom medium early. and lasts 
through a long season. Senator Dunlap produces a 
very large crop; if you are in doubt about what to 
plant, or are an inexperienced grower, Senator Dun- 
lap is safe to plant. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
TWILLEY. Fo tvo years now Twilley has 
been the best of the medium- 
early varieties that we have fruited, although, of 
course, we have not had all the varieties each year. 
It is a very strong grower, has perfect blossoms, and 
is a good pollenizer. The berries are rather long, light 
in color, and have a large, bright green cap, which 
makes them very attractive. The fruit is of good 
quality and firm enough to ship anywhere. We have 
no firmer shipper on our list than this. Twilley is a 
money-maker with us. Price, $7 per 1,000.
