TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



AROMA. This has been on the market for a number of years, and seems to be 

 gaining in p)opuIarity wherever it goes; the foliage is smooth, dark green, of a 

 spreading habit, giving the sun a clear right of way to the crown. The leaves are 

 long and broad, and as a poUenizer of pistillate varieties it is unexcelled. Its picking 

 season is unusually long, the blossoms beginning to open medium early 

 and continuing until late; the berries are rich in color, large in size, and 

 deliciously aromatic in flavor; the surface is smooth and 

 solid. ;It is a good grower and a good all- 

 round, reliable market berrj-; its permanent 

 yellow seeds brighten the color effect and 

 makes it ver>- attractive in the package. Re- 

 cently this variety has become ver>- much 

 in demand in the tropical and semitropical 

 sections; for instance, it is one of the best 

 varieties for Cuba, and probably one of the 

 most popular very late varieties in the warmer 

 Strawberry sections. Aroma seems to be a 

 favorite both in cold and warm sections.

 A pood shipping sort 



BARRYMORE. Originated in Massa- 

 chusetts, in 1908, by H. L. Crane. It is a 

 healthy and vigorous grower, with perfect 

 blossoms; the berries are glossy, in color deep 

 crimson, with red flesh of excellent quality. 

 The fruit is firm enough to ship well; the berries are large, 

 regular-conical in shape, and ripen in midseason. Barr>'- 

 more was awarded a silver medal and three first premiums 

 in Massachusetts, which is quite a record for one season. 



BEDARWOOD. This variety seems to have been grown 

 more largely in the West than elsewhere; its popularity in 

 that section is no doubt due to its ability to resist dry weather. 

 It has very long, coarse roots, which extend deep into the soil, 

 enabling it to withstand drj- weather better than most varie- 

 ties. The plant is hardy and produces a big crop of medium- 

 sized fruit that is rather soft for long shipments; plants very 

 tall, with long, narrow leaves, which are dark green and 

 vigorous. 



BLACK BEAUTY. This variety was sent out a few years ago by the originator, with many flattering 

 claims. It is a large, healthy, well-balanced plant, which produces sweet, rich, dark red berries that are 

 firm and yet free from core; conical in shape, large, even and smooth; deep red to the center. Fruit will 

 keep a long time on the vines after ripening. A good sort for the home garden. 



BRADLEY. This is a splendid variety, 

 with p>erfect blossoms and healthy, vigorous 

 plants. The berries are of good color, uni- 

 formly conical in shape, with some of the 

 largest slightly flattened at the tip. Large in 

 size and firm enough to make a good shipping 

 berry-. Exceedingly productive, having yielded 

 with me on thin land over 5,000 quarts to the 

 acre without fertilization. It is entirely dis- 

 tinct from any other berrj-, and ranks ver\- 

 high in the list. I believe it will be a long 

 time before we get a variety that will sur- 

 pass it as a general all-round berry, although 

 some of the newer sorts are its equal.
