THDrr WQ This variety took first prize at 

 1 nn-tC W O. the World's Fair at St. Louis, 

 and made a record of keeping ten days. A very 

 popular, perfect-blooming, midseason variety ; plants 

 large, robust and amply able to produce big crops. 

 The foliage is a beautiful dark green in color and very 

 attractive. The fruit is large, of fine quality and 

 produced very freely, covering a long season from 

 medium-early to late. This and the Tennessee 

 Prolific are among the best to plant with pistillate 

 varieties. It is firm in texture and a good keeper; it is 

 also very resistant to late frosts, seldom being affected 

 by them. See illustration in natural colors, page 34. 



•r jii Several years ago we paid $200.00 for 



" "y* one dozen plants of this variety. This 

 was the prize for the best unintroduced variety sent 

 us. It was fruited in 1909. The size is large, the 

 berry is well colored and it is exceedingly firm, which 

 makes it an excellent variety for market 

 purposes. The eating quality is also very 

 good. It is a persistent grower, bearing 

 good crops even in hot, dry seasons. The 

 fruit is rich, bright red and the bright 

 green caps add to its attractiveness. 



jnST GREW RIGHT ON 



I have the pleasure of reporting the collec- 

 tion of Strawberry plants you shipped by 

 parcel post last month, reached me in fine 

 condition; even the leaves were not wilted, 

 and they just grew right on as if they had 

 not been transplanted to another zone. Have 

 not lost a plant. — Mrs. E. G. Smith, Iberia 

 County. Louisiana, March 8, 1915.

WARRFN ^^° years ago we introduced this 

 " ^ • variety, which we obtained from 



Mr. S. H. Warren, of Auburndale, Massachusetts. 

 Mr. Warren was a veteran berry-grower, and after 

 growing the best varieties for fifty-eight years, he 

 considered Warren the best he had ever seen. After 

 fruiting this variety and after having received much 

 favorable comment of the Warren from many 

 sources, we are prepared to recommend it very 

 highly. It does best on loamy soil, not being so well 

 adapted to the lighter types. Plants are exceedingly 

 vigorous, with dark green, leathery foliage, and 

 produce a splendid crop of large, high-quality, 

 highly colored berries, which have taken several 

 prizes at the Massachusetts horticultural shows. We 

 consider Warren one of the handsomest berries and 

 one of the most valuable of the new varieties for 

 the commercial grower. We feel that we cannot 

 say too much in praise of this new berry. Be sure 

 to give it a trial. See illustration in natural colors, 

 page 15. 



WarfipM Another popular old standard. It is 

 Wanieia. ^ persistent plant-maker and must be 

 kept thin to give best results, but, if not allowed to 

 grow too thick, it will produce a great crop of very 

 desirable, medium-sized berries that are highly 

 flavored and highly colored; ripens midseason 

 and is especially popular in the West. For 

 syrups, canning, etc., it is especi- 

 ally desirable on account of its rich 

 flavor and high color. 



Twilley. Bears well in 

 hot, dry seasons
