The Banner is claimed by prominent 
Banner. California Strawberry-growers to be 
the best of all the market varieties because of its uni- 
formly large size, glossy red appearance, firmness, 
good quality, and always being showy, on which ac- 
count the dealers prefer it. Our stock of plants was 
secured from a prominent California grower and we 
recommended growers in this state to plant it exten- 
sively. It would also be a good one to try in all 
Strawberry-growing sections. The foliage resembles 
Marshall, but with us it makes a more vigorous 
growth; if it is found to be an improved Marshall, it 
is indeed well worth while. Price, $7 per 1,000. 
Big Valley. Mr. A. K. Beiler, who is very en-

| BUBACH. A fancy, old standard that is 
especially popular with many 
growers in the middle and northern states. One of 
our customers says his Bubachs were by far the 
finest Strawberries and brought the best price of any 
on his market. The illustration will show you what a 
fine appearance it makes in the package. Although 
an extremely old variety, our strain of Bubach has 
not lost any of its old-time vigor. It makes ample 
runners for a good fruiting bed. The blossoms are 
imperfect and should be planted with Big Joe, Sena- 
tor Dunlap, Ekey, or Twilley. Bubach is a veteran 
that stands high in the world of fancy Strawberries. 
Price, $6 per 1,000. 4 
DELAYED, BUT STILL IN GOOD CONDITION 
I received 500 Straw-4 berry plants today. Although they 
were delayed in ship- ment, they were still in 
good condition, due to the care with which 
they had been packed.— Miss Myrt Le C. SHEE-
