MID-SEASON STRAWBERRIES, continued 
BIG JOE (Joe Johnson; Joe) 
Distinctly a money-maker. Big Joe is a strong, 
healthy grower that makes plenty of plants for a good 
fruiting bed and on rich soil should be kept thinned 
for best results. Wherever grown, it has shown sucha 
vigorous growth and such a wonderful productiveness 
of large, handsome berries, that everyone who has 
seen it is wanting plants. This demand is augmented 
when they hear the prices at which these berries 
sell. We are informed by W. O. & H. W. Davis, com- 
mission merchants of New York City, that Big Joe 
and Chesapeake, grown by market-gardeners on Long 
Island, in New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York 
and hauled directly to the market, have sold by the 
load at 25 cents per quart. A large, light green cap 
helps show off the big, handsome berry and adds 
materially to the profit. Growers are producing big 
crops of fancy fruit with the Big Joe.and are making 
money. See picture of Big Joe on back cover. In 
these days when quality counts for so 
much Big Joe will help you make big 
money. Price, $6 per 1,000. 
EKEY (O. I. C.). A:vigorous- 
growing variety that 
produces an abundance of large 
conical berries. The berries are all 
of good quality and are firm enough 
to ship. The blossoms are perfect 
and produce an abundance of pollen. 
Ekey and Haverland would make a 
good pair to plant together. Bothare 
vigorous growers; both are very 
heavy croppers of berries that are 
about the same shape and color. 
Ekey is a good reliable variety that 
you can depend on to give a big crop. 
Price, $6 per 1,000.

ad ably no 
variety of Strawberries will pro- 
duce more quarts per acre than 
the Glen Mary. It is very popu- 
lar throughout the northern 
half of the United States 
and especially in Pennsyl- 
vania, New York, and New 
England. We have records 
from these sections of over 10,000 
quarts per acre from this variety. 
The berry is firm enough for dis- 
tant shipment. It is of handsome 
appearance and good quality. 
The fruit is of large size and dark 
red in color with prominent seeds 
of bright yellow. The meat is so 
rich and juicy and of such high 
flavor that, when once eaten, 
more is wanted. Glen Mary isa 
strong grower which makes large, 
healthy plants, with an abun- 
dance of dark green foliage. The 
blossoms are about half perfect 
and carry enough pollen for their 
own fruit, but we believe the size 
of the berries and the quantity of 
the berries can be increased by 
planting Glen Mary with some 
strong pollenizer, such as Big Joe, 
Ekey, or Rewastico. Not only is 
Glen Mary a very heavy cropper, 
but the berries are of such 
quality and attractiveness that 
they bring top prices on the market. Glen Mary 
has many friends, and we expect to be sold out on 
this variety long before the season is over. Order 
early and have us reserve what you need—it will 
be safer than to wait until the season is nearly over. 
Price, $6 per I,000. 
* We fruited this variety the past 
Gold Mine. season in a trial plot of the very 
new varieties and it stood head and shoulders above 
any that we tried. The plant is very vigorous, mak- 
ing a dark green, leathery foliage, which resembles 
that of the Early Ozark. We have never seen a 
spot of disease on it. The plants are very produc- 
tive and the berries are beauties. They are very 
large in size, light red in color, with a large, bright 
green cap, which makes them very attractive. The 
quality is very good. We did not have many, but 
we believe Gold Mine paid us more per acre than 
any variety we fruited last year. It is really good 
and a variety that is worth testing at home and 
| commercially. Price, $7 per 1,000.
