TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 19 
MID-SEASON STRAWBERRIES, continued 
Described by the introducer as follows: 
LaBon. “Healthy, a good plant-maker and a 
good producer. Fruit is of large size and good quality, 
and the berry has a firm, glossy skin. It is very desir- 
able as a shipping berry and its extra-long roots make 
it a good drought-resister.” We have fruited the 
LaBon twice and it has not shown up very well here. 
It may do well in other sections. We recommend it 
for trial only. Price, $6 per 1,000. 
MAGIC GEM. Our stock of plants was 
secured direct from the in- 
troducer and we fruited it last year for the first time. 
We have found it to be a very vigorous grower, with 
leavesand stems that are very thick and tough, which 
makes it most resistant to insects and diseases. The 
berries are borne in great abundance and we find 
them to be very large, dark red, with bright yellow 
seeds, almost perfectly formed and with a large 
green cap, which makes them show up exceedingly 
well. Magic Gem produces a large number of blos- 
soms which are very full of pollen. This makes it 
an ideal pollenizer for mid-season and late varieties, 
such as Hustler, Fendall, Sample, Haverland, and 
others. We found Magic Gem to be quite similar to 
Brandywine, but a more vigorous grower and more 
productive of berries that were larger, more uniform in 
size and shape, and more handsome in every way than 
the Brandywine. Order early. Price, $6 per 1,000. 
(Norwood). A fancy old variety 
Marshall known to most Strawberry-growers. 
The berries are very large, of very fine quality, and 
very handsome in appearance. It is not a heavy pro- 
ducer. If we could get the good quality of the Mar- 
shall with the productiveness of Twilley, Eaverland, 
or Senator Dunlap, we would have something very 
valuable. Big Joe, Magic Gem, and Hustler come 
very near to this standard. Marshall, being a shy 
plant-maker, is especially adaptable to the hill sys- 
tem of culture, and anyone desiring a few extra- 
fancy berries would do well to try the Marshall. 
Price, $7 per 1,000. 
’ A very strong-growin 
Parson’s Beauty. variety. Very aie 
tive of medium-large, good-quality berries. The fruit 
is uniform in size and holds up well to the end of the 
season. It is recommended especially for local 
markets as it is not firm enough for distant shipment. 
The berries are dark in color and have a bright green 
cap, which makes them very attractive. Price, $6 
per 1,000. 
A very vigorous grower 
PAUL JONES. and one of the Foc pro- 
ductive varieties we have ever seen. The fruit is of 
good size and very handsome in appearance. It is 
claimed to be a seedling of Brandywine and Haver- 
land. The fruit resembles that of the Haverland, 
being rather long and light in color. It isa very fine 
shipper. The blossoms are imperfect and should be 
planted with some good variety to pollenize it prop- 
erly. We suggest Big Joe, Magic Gem, Rewastico, 
and Ekey to plant with the Paul Jones. Price, $6 
per 1,000. 
REWASTICO The berries of this variety 
; * are a light cardinal-red, 
uniformly large and regular in shape. The fruit is 
very firm in texture and will stand shipment to dis- 
tant markets. The quality is rich, with an aromatic 
Strawberry flavor, though somewhat tart. Rewas- 
tico is becoming very popular in some sections. One 
of our Kansas customers, who bought 25,000 plants 
in the spring of 1915, was so well pleased with this 
variety that he and some of his neighbors and friends 
| Saunders. 
| Warfield. 
in the same section bought nearly 200,000 of our 
Rewastico last year. In addition to its value as a 
shipping berry, we believe Rewastico would make an 
excellent canning berry as it stands up so well under 
unfavorable weather conditions. Order early and let 
us reserve your plants of this variety. Price, $6 per 
1,000. 
Gives best results on medium or 
light soils. Fruit is large, dark 
glossy red, firm, and of good flavor. Blossoms perfect. 
Price, $6 per 1,000. 
“f° Berries are of large 
Tennessee Prolific. 377 ond rather light 
in color. Flesh is fine grained and firm enough to 
ship; it is also very good asa canner. Tennessee Pro- 
lific seems to be especially popular in the District of 
Columbia and surrounding country. It is very pro- 
lific. Price, $6-per 1,000. 
’ Plants are large, strong, and 
Three W’s. amply able to produce its big 
crops. The fruit is large and of good quality. It is 
an excellent keeper. The blossoms of Three W’s are 
very resistant to late frosts, which would make it 
especially valuable in the North. It is a strong pol- 
lenizer of imperfect varieties. Price, $6 per 1,000. 
The popular old standard for can- 
ning. It is especially desirable on 
account of its rich flavor and high color. It is a vigor- 
ous grower and a persistent plant-maker. For this 
reason the plants must be thinned out to give the 
best results. If not allowed to grow too thick, it will 
produce a great crop of very desirable, medium- 
sized berries that are highly flavored and highly 
colored. Ripens mid-season. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
c Very popular with a few growers who 
Winner. have tried it out. Vigorous-growing 
variety, which produces a good crop of medium to 
large berries. The fruits are highly colored and very 
attractive. They are somewhat irregular in shape, 
running from long conical to broad conical. Blos- 
soms are perfect. Price, $6 per 1,000. 
D (Frances E.). Our stock of plants was 
Willard, secured directly from the introducer. 
We fruited the variety last year and were well pleased 
with it. The berries are medium to large in size and 
about the shape of eggs, beautiful glossy red in color. 
We believe the variety will prove valuable for local 
market or for shipping purposes. Price, $7 per 1,000. 
W oolverton. Bears an abundance of good 
quality, medium-sized berries 
and will succeed better than most varieties on light 
soil. The blossoms are perfect. Price, $7 per 1,000.
