TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Lea. One of the best maxket berries for the South 



KLONDYKE. Hundreds of acres of this variety 

 are being grown all over the eastern shore of Mary- 

 land and Delaware for the northern markets. Klon- 

 dyke has made a great success; it is one of the best 

 shipp)ers, and demands the top price in the market, 

 frequently bringing a premium over other varieties, 

 owing, in a great measure, to its large size and 

 unusual firmness; blossoms are perfect, plants 

 making a vigorous growth and producing a good 

 crop. If you want a 

 good berry that 

 will bring the top 

 price in market, and 

 firm enough to ship 

 anywhere, don't 

 hesitate to plant 

 the Klondyke ; it 

 will please your cus- 

 tomers, bring trade 

 and increase your 

 profits. (See p. 12.) 



LADYTHOMP. 

 SON. This variety 

 has been so exten- 

 sively grown it 

 hardly seems ne- 

 cessary to say much 

 about it. For many 

 years it was practi- 

 cally the only va- 

 riety grown in the 

 great Strawberry 

 section of North 

 Carolina. It makes 

 strong, vigorous, 

 healthy plants that 

 produce large crops 

 of medium - large, 

 handsome, firm and 

 well-shaped berries, 

 and is especially 

 well adapted to the 

 warmer climate of 

 the South. 



LEA. A strong, sturdy 

 grower without a spot of rust 

 or other defect in its foliage; 

 blossoms are perfect; ripening 

 evenly all over, it is uniformly 

 large in size and very pro- 

 ductive. The originator says: 

 "It is the best thing I have in 

 the Strawberry line. Lea sold 

 along with Bubach, and will 

 stand more rainy weather and 

 keep in better condition than 

 any berry I ever grew; Climax 

 produced a few more quarts 

 but did not bring near the 

 money." Southern growers 

 who have tried it speak in the 

 highest terms of its value as a 

 market berry, one of the best 

 of its class. 



LONGFELLOW. Blossoms 

 are perfect; medium early and 

 very productive; long-conical 

 in shape, highly colored and 

 well flavored; plants are vigor- 

 ous and healthy. I consider 

 it an exceedingly promising 

 variety, and it can be recom- 

 mended as a good all-round 

 market berry. You will find it all right.

 of plants. They came through safely and promptly. I 

 find everything as represented. Plants were in splendid 

 condition — clean, vigorous looking and full count, yes, 

 liberal count. Accept my thanks for your promptness
