Our strain of Chesapeake will make plants. Try some of these. 



AROMA 



For many years Aroma has been the leading 

 late shipping berry in Arkansas, Missouri, Ten- 

 nessee, Kentucky and other southern and central 

 states. Here are some of the reasons it has 

 been able to hold this leadership. The plants, 

 though small, are very vigorous and healthy 

 and make plenty of runners for a good fruiting 

 row. They are very productive in regions 

 adapted to Aroma. The berries are beauties 

 They have a shinj^ bright red color which dark 

 ens very little on holding or shipping. And 

 they have the finest, greenest caps of any variety 

 to enhance their natural beauty. On top of 

 that, they are firm enough to ship long distances 

 and go into market in almost perfect condition. 



Aroma has never been a leader in the East, 

 but in the states mentioned as well as Southern 

 Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, it has been a money 

 maker. Special attention to our stock of Aroma, 

 as well as to other varieties which normally 

 make very small plants, has enabled us to pro- 

 duce some plants of which we are proud. You 

 will like them. Price list, page 35. 



Hebron 



A ne'w variety from Connecti- 

 cut (111). Dr. D. F. Jones, the 

 originator says, "Hebron is 

 the latest variety coming into 

 maximum productiveness at the time when all 

 other varieties are nearly through". "The fruit 

 is unusually light and bright in color in strik- 

 ing contrast to the dark green caps. Hebron 

 has been called by many the prettiest straw- 

 berry they have grown". The flesh of the ber- 

 ries is soft and rather poor in quality. The 

 plants are very productive. In tests at Mt. 

 Carmel, Connecticut, Hebron yielded just as 

 many quarts as either Premier or Catskill. 

 Hebron is not suitable for long distance ship- 

 ment, but its beauty, productiveness and late 

 ripening make it seem worthy of trial in Con- 

 necticut and other Northern states for local or 

 nearby markets. Price list, page 35. 



This is the sweetest straw- 

 berry grown. The plant is 

 a vigorous grower, produc- 

 ing a moderate number of 

 large, healthy plants. The berries are medium 

 to large in size, dark red in color, but only mod- 

 erately firm in texture. New York is a home 

 garden berry. It is the only strawberry we 

 know of that is sweet before it gets red. Price 

 list, page 35.

Gandy 



Chesapeake. 

 springy land 



A fancy late shipping berry, large, 

 solid, handsome, moderately pro- 

 ductive. Needs liberal fertiliza- 

 tion. Berries often sell with 

 Makes plants freely but needs 

 for big crops. Gandy is an old 

 favorite which many growers refuse to give up. 

 "Where it does well it is a real profit maker. We 

 recommend limiting Gandy plants in tiic row to 

 four to six plants per square foot and fertilizing 

 in late summer. Growers who want to extend 

 their season very late will find Gandy one of 

 the best of all varieties for that purpose. We 

 have a nice lot of plants. Price list, page 35. 



A fairly good berry, not outstand- 

 ing in any respect. Grown chiefly 

 because it is so very late. The 

 new Redstar is just as late and 

 every other respect. Price list,

Green 

 Mountain 



The news is spreadingr! 

 Proof is piling up! Green 

 Mountain is not only a 

 fine everbearer, but is one 

 of the most productive 

 very late berries for the 

 spring crop. Here's what 

 growers are saying: "Last 

 year our acre of Green Mountain plants gave us 

 more berries than any bed of equal size we 

 ever had". — Mr. C. L. Sargent, Orange Co., Vt. 

 "I had a heavy crop on my Green Mountain vines 

 in June and they are as full as they can be of 

 berries this fall. They sure are fine big ber- 

 ries". Art Worden, Decatur County, Iowa. 



Green 3Iountain should be groMU on fairly 

 rich, moist soil. It takes plenty of support for 

 Green Mountain plants to size up and mature 

 the tremendous crop of spring berries which 

 they set and are capable of producing. 



The spring crop of Green Blountain comes in 

 very late and usually brings good prices because 

 most other good berries are gone. Berries are 

 very firm and the quality is good. 



An interesting thing is that spring berries of 

 Green 3Iountain are conic in shape, having a 

 fine appearance similar to Aroma or Chesapeake. 

 The summer and fall berries are long and 

 rather flat as shown in the picture (page 23). 

 According to our arrangement with tjie patent 

 holders, we may sell you Green Mountain plants 

 to use and propagate for your OAvn use but not 

 for sale. 



Try Green Mountain in the Middle and IVorth- 

 ern States as a very late, soli^l, productive, 

 spring' variety. Price list, page 35.
