The berries hold 

 up well after pick- 

 ing and the caps 

 remain green and 

 bright, indicating 

 that it is to be- 

 come a prime fa- 

 vorite with com- 

 mercial growers. 



HERITAGE. 

 Originated in New 

 Jersey. Blossoms 

 perfect, and the 

 berry has a large, 

 green cap which 

 adds very much to 

 its appearance and 

 market value. Ber- 

 ries are uniformly 

 large and uniform 

 in shape, with splen- 

 did color and de- 

 licious flavor; firm and productive. 



JULY. This variety was planted by me for 

 the first time two years ago, and after fruiting 

 it, I find the berries to be only medium in size, 

 but very productive and later than the Gandy; 

 in fact, the latest berry that I have ever grown. 

 While the berries are not large, they are firm 

 and attractive, and it is immensely productive. 

 It makes very large plants, which seem to be 

 entirely free from disease; blossoms perfect. 

 If you want the latest berry grown, plant the 

 July. (See illustration, page ii.) 



KING EDWARD. Plants are strong, with large 

 foliage, and bear freely. Mr. D. J. Miller, of Ohio, 

 who originated this variety, is very enthusiastic 

 over it, and expects great things of it. Mr. Miller 

 says: "All things considered, it is the greatest 

 berry I have ever grown." I have fruited it here 

 in Maryland, and find it to be a good, reliable 

 variety; productive, large in size and good in 

 quality. The shape and size of the berry is well 

 represented in the illustration. 



KANSAS. Fruit is above medium in size and 

 the plant is immensely productive; the color is 

 brilliant crimson, not only on the surface but 

 through and through. It is one of the most fragrant 

 of Strawberries, and the plants are free from rust 

 and other diseases. I hear excellent reports from 

 this variety on the Pacific Coast, and I believe 

 growers in that section would do well to try it. 



King Edward. Strong grower; free bearer 



I do not mean by this that it is not valuable else- 

 where, as it is one of the best croppers I ever prew 

 in this state. Blossoms are pistillate, and its sea- 

 son of ripening medium to late; it is a very fine 

 berry for canning and preserving. 



KELLOGG'S PRIZE. This is a pistillate va- 

 riety and is said to ripen from early to late; the 

 originator has the following to say: "The variety 

 continued bearing a little later than Sample and 

 Stevens' Late Champion, and it was the last to be 

 found on the vines." It was the remark of one of 

 our customers that "they did not know that Straw- 

 berries ever grew so large; if the public knew of 

 the value of this variety the demand for plants 

 could not be supplied." The introducer says: 

 "Kellogg's Prize is very highly colored, with golden 

 seed, the rich color extending to the center; flavor 

 is delicious and nothing excels it as a shipping 

 berry; the cap is ample and in harmony with the 



size of the berry, 

 and the foliage 

 is very large, as 

 befits the yielder 

 of great crops of 

 big red berries." 



Elondyke often brings a premium over other sorts (see page 13) 



Excellent 

 Results 



Enclosed find the 

 third order I've 

 sent you for Straw- 

 berries within the 

 last few years. The 

 plants were fine, 

 and we got excel- 

 lent results. I hope 

 for such success this 

 time. — Frank E.
