Mid-Season V^arieties 



U» ¥ No mid-season berry that we have ever grown come as near to being 



JJjOr .JOP ^ worthy running mate for Premier, the best early berry, and Ches- 

 O apeake, the best late variety, as does Big Joe. This variety does well 



on all types of soil, but, like most others, responds quickly to good care and fertility. 

 When grown for local or nearby markets where the shipping distance is not too great. Big 

 Joe is one of the best money-makers we have. Locally, it comes in with fine, handsome 

 berries just as many of the early varieties are beginning to run down, and brings a 

 premium of a dollar or two per crate on anything then being offered. The plant is a vigor- 

 ous grower, very healthy and very productive. The berries are large in size and have a 

 large, bright green cap which increases their attractiveness. They are, also, very fine in 

 quality. Market gardeners who retail their berries, those who sell at the farm or on road- 

 side markets or, in fact, anyone who can get a premium for large, handsome, high-quality 

 fruit should include Big Joe in their plantings. Price-List, page 15. 

 AllPfJpPfl ^ strong grower, making berry and the light color of the flesh is no 



plenty of healthy, dark 

 foliage. Plants are immensely productive, of 

 good siz-, good looking berries, but from our 

 experience the plants should be kept thin- 

 ned for best results. Popular in parts of 

 New Jersey but until further trial we cannot 

 say that it should be planted to replace either 

 Big Joe or Premier. We have a small stock 

 of very nice plants for those who want to 

 try it. Price list, page 15. 



new variety that is a dandy.

Beauty ti 



uniform in shape and with more gloss and 

 shine than any variety we know of except 

 possibly Big Late. The plant makes a vig- 

 orous root and top growth and is tremend- 

 ously productive. The flesh of the berries 

 is a pale red rather than a deep red color. 

 The berries are very good in quality and firm 

 enough to ship or haul moderate distances. 

 If Big Joe doesn't suit you as a mid-season 



draw-back, try Beauty. It surely will fill the 

 bill. Very resistant to late frosts. Try some.

A new variety, making vig- 

 orous, healthy plants. Quite 

 productive. Berries larger than Klondyke 

 or Missionary and firmer than Premier. Re- 

 commended for trial as a shipping berry.

Hov*i7Acf ITin/r ^ "^^ variety about 



narVeSl IVing which the introducers 

 are very enthusiastic. They say: 1. It is 

 the greatest canning berry on record. 2. 

 Unusual vitality makes crops certain. 

 3. Sells by actual experience above other 

 good varieties. 4. Resembles Premier in 

 size, color, shape, quality, productiveness. 

 5. Like Premier it defies late frosts. Not 

 so good with us in a very small plot last 

 season. It had no chance under conditions 

 we had it. Try some. Price-list, page 15. 



Late Varieties 



At*Atll2l ^^® °^ ^^^ ^®^* ^**® shipping 

 i\runid. berries. Has been, and still is, 

 an old favorite on account of its vigor and 

 productiveness, but most especially due to 

 the large, average size, bright attractive ap- 

 pearance, and excellent shipping quality of 

 the berries. We recommend Aroma in some 

 cases where soil conditions do not seem to 

 suit the Aristocratic Chesapeake and to 

 others who know from experience that 

 Aroma is a real money maker. Price-list, 

 page 15. 



D* I j||.>^ If the blossoms were perfect 

 Dig Liaie and a little more hardy, Big 

 Late would be equal to Premier in all re- 

 spects. Foliage strong and vigorous and the 

 berries are the glossiest and prettiest of any 

 variety we ever saw. Plants are tremen- 

 dously productive and the berries unsurpas- 

 sed. For growers who know how to handle 

 imperfect varieties we doubt if any late 

 variety will prove more profitable, not even 

 Chesapeake or Aroma. Price-list, page 15.

I linf An ^ fancy late shipping berry. 

 l^UpiOn One grower of this section told 

 us that he made $1500 clear from less than 

 two acres of Lupton in 1930. Lupton is 

 sometimes grown where growers have trouble 

 in getting a satisfactory bed of Chesapeake 

 plants. It usually, though not always, makes 

 plants more freely than Chesapeake. It is 

 similar to Chesapeake in many respects, the 

 berries are just as large, and like Chesapeake 

 are very attractive in appearance. The 

 quality is only fair, being mild and rather 

 dry. If for any reason you cannot grow 

 Chesapeake, then Lupton should be one of 

 the very first varieties to try out as a fancy 

 large, high selling, market berry. Price-list,

Wvlliovrt RaU '^^^ standard of quality 

 TV llllain Dell by which most other 

 good varieties are compared. No strawberry 

 was ever better to eat than a well-grown 

 William Belt. It is at its best in the middle 

 and northern states where it has many 

 friends. Grown for its own sake and also to 

 replace Chesapeake where that variety does 

 not make enough plants for a good fruiting 

 bed. When grown in the home garden or for 

 local market where real eating quality is 

 apipreciated, William Belt should not be left 

 out. Price-list, page 15.
