WUdwood. Tastes like a wild Strawberry 



WOLVERTON. Introduced a good many years ago 

 by the late John Little, of Ontario, Canada. The plants 

 make a good growth, and have perfect blossoms, very 

 strong in pollen, making it a very desirable variety to 

 plant with midseason pistillate varieties. It is no un- 

 common thing to see ripe berries and blossoms on this 

 variety at the sarn^ time. I have fruited the Wolverton 

 for many years, and find it to be one of the most reliable 

 of the old, standard kinds. It will succeed better than 

 most varieties on light soils. 



MIXED PLANTS 



In filling a great many orders I usually have more or 

 less odds and ends, and sometimes a plot of plants wi 

 get mixed in the field, so that I cannot use them for 

 filling regular orders. Under this heading I offer plants 

 at a very low rate to those who are willing to take chances 

 on what they get. When you order mixed plants the 

 only thing I guarantee is that you will get the amount of 

 strawberry plants that you order, and they will be of 

 one or more kinds that are listed in this catalogue — 

 usually they are not labeled. Occasionally in handling a 

 great many plants, a label will get torn from the basket 

 in which they are taken up and, as we should have no 

 means of knowing what these are, they would be put in 

 to fill iny orders that we might have *^or mi-ed plants. 



In Excellent Shape 



I wish to thank you for both quality and quantity of 

 plants you sent. They were in excellent shape, and I be- 

 lieve they will grow. — Mrs. W. H. Ballard, Chaves Co.,

growers who do not include 

 this in their collection. For 

 fancy market or home table it 

 is indispensable. Where qual- 

 ity is an important considera- 

 tion, it is one of the most pop- 

 ular varieties ever originated. 

 If you have not grown Wm. 

 Belt, you have missed one of 

 the best varieties of Straw- 

 berries in cultivation. 



WILDWOOD. Your garden 

 will not be complete without a 

 few plants of this excellent va- 

 riety. As the name suggests, 

 it is a very delicious Straw- 

 berry, having that wild Straw- 

 berry flavor so much admired; 

 this, together with the fact 

 that the vines grow very rank, 

 suggested the name Wildwood. 

 I am sure it will please everyone 

 who wants early berries for the 

 home or home market; it is too 

 soft for long shipments. It is 

 one of the tallest-growing and 

 rankest-growing plants on the 

 farm, and is one of the very 

 best in my list for the home garden. The 

 berries are medium to large, bright scarlet, 

 and borne in exceeding profusion. Blossoms 

 semi -perfect and will bear a crop planted 

 alone, but as it will be improved by planting 

 some good staminates near it, I think it best 

 to list it as imperfect. I hope all my custom- 

 ers will give this variety a trial this year, as 

 it undoubtedly will give satisfaction. 



This picture shows two plants of the same va- 

 riety. Some growers charge more for plants than 

 others. There is a reason.
