TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



It makes large, healthy plants with dark green foli- 

 age; the blossoms are semi-staminate, but carr^' 

 enough pollen to fruit its own berries. A Xew Jersey 

 customer says, "'The Glen Mar\- is the only variety 

 with which I have made a success," and we have 

 many letters of this nature about Glen Mar\-. We 

 doubt if there is any berrj- in the countr\- that will 

 produce more quarts to the acre than the Glen 

 .\Iar^•, and they are fancy berries of large size and 

 attractive appearance. We have this illustrated in 

 colors on the front page of our cata- 

 logue this year, because we want all of 

 our customers, especially those in the 

 North, to tn,- it out and see what a really 

 wonderful berry it is. \\"ith any variety 

 we must have the fruit before we can 

 sell it, and Glen Mary certainly 

 duces enormous quantities of 

 fancy fruit. We have seldom 

 had enough Glen 

 Mar%- to fill all our 

 orders, but hope" to 

 be able to this sea- 

 son. See cut, p. 10. 



Grand Marie. 



This is a new variety of con- 

 siderable merit, which w-e in- 

 tended to offer last year, but the drought cut our 

 crop of plants short, so we planted all we had that 

 we might be able to offer it this j-ear and have 

 enough to supply all of our customers. Grand Marie 

 was originated in Michigan in 1905; it produces an 

 abundance of strong, healthy foliage and it bears 

 large, wedge-shaped or conical berries, is firm and 

 of good quality. When fully ripe it is dark, rich, 

 glossy red, and the berries will remain on the plants 

 in good shape for several days. Clay loam is best for 

 this variety, and it should be mulched so as to 

 secure even coloring. An ex- 

 cellent shipper, and you should 

 try it. See illustration, p. 11. 



WOT OUR FAULT 



I beg to say if the plant; 

 do not live it will be my fault, 

 as they certainly have a fine 

 lot of roots and are a splendid . 

 healthy looking collection. —

MOST WONDER- 

 FUL PLANTS 

 I wish to acknowl- 

 edge the receipt of 



the most wonderful 



Strawberry' plants 



I have ever seen. They have 



been set out less than three 



weeks and are already in bloom. \Vm. Belt 



seem to be a little more forward than the 



Chesapeake, but of the 500 sent not one has 



wilted or failed. — Mrs. C. E. Hawkins, 



Hernando County, Florida, March i, 1913. 



Gold Dollar. J*'f^"?^°^*, "o.^iceable thing about 

 Gold Dollar is its uniformity. It 

 produces a hea\'-y crop of large-sized, highlv colored 

 berries that are perfect in shape. It has perfect 

 blossoms, ever>' one of which matures a good berry. 

 The season of ripening is medium earlv, although 

 when planted on sandy land, it is almost as early 

 as Early Ozark. We have fruited Gold Dollar 

 several times, and have been highly pleased with it. 



ARRIVED SAFELY AND PROMPTLY 



Shipment of Progressive Strawberry plants arrived safely 

 and promptly. — John Butterfield, " " ' ""

HAVERLAND (Mammoth Beauty). This is 

 a variety that enjoys almost uni- 

 versal popularity. The fruit is long, of large size, 

 rather light in color; it makes a strong vigorous 

 growth, with plenty of runners. The berr%- pictured 

 in colors on page 34 is typical of the variety; it is 

 popular in all sections where it has been tried, and 

 the fact that it has stood the test so long certainly 

 speaks \yell for it. We seldom hear any complaint 

 from this variety. The blossoms are pistillate and 

 extremely hardy, which is an important point in 

 some of the northern states. The Haverland should 

 be well mulched, as the fruit-stems are not able to 

 hold the immense load of berries off the ground;
