TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Wilson Albany. 



This is a variety of 

 Strawberry that your 

 grandfather grew when he was a boy. It 

 was the leading berry of its day, and is 

 still grown in parts of New York, 

 mostly for canning purposes. 

 The berries are somewhat tart 

 but are quite firm and make 

 good shippers. We fre- 

 quently have calls for 

 this variety, and we are 

 therefore offering it this 

 year. Our plants are 

 bedding up nicely, show- 

 ing much of the old-time 

 vigor of the variety. 



Winner The plants of 

 inner, ^^js variety 



are vigorous in growth. 



They produce a large 

 crop of good-sized berries, which are borne on unusually long stems. The 

 fruit is highly colored and very attractive: berries are somewhat irregular 

 in shape, running from long-coniCal to broad-conical. The blossoms are 

 perfect. Last year there was quite a demand for this variety in California, 

 and we think the demand will increase in many sections when it is 

 known better. It is an all-round valuable variety and an especially good 

 shipper. Give it a trial. 



wj] J J This is one of the tallest- and rankest-growing varieties 



IIQWOOU. Qj^ ji^g farm and one of the very best for the home garden. 

 As its name suggests, it has a delicious, wild Strawberry flavor, and we are 

 sure it will please everj^one who wants early berries for the home or home 

 market. The berries are medium to large, bright scarlet and borne in 

 great profusion. You should have some in your garden. 

 WMi J (Francis £.)• This is a new variety, first introduced by M. Craw- 

 VTlliara j-^j.^^ q^ ^f qj^Jq^ -^vJ^q describes it as follows: "This variety 

 first came to our knowledge when the originator sent us a basket of fruit 

 in June, 1912. The berries were about the size and shape of eggs, a beau- 

 tiful, glossy red in color, and of fine quality. The fruit so impressed us as 

 being superior in all that goes to make a perfect berry that we purchased 

 the whole stock from the originator." It is making a vigorous, healthy 

 growth on our grounds.

Winner. An all-round fruit 



WM. BELT. 



many years we find it to be one of 

 the most reliable of the old standard 

 kinds. It bears an abundance of fine, large berries and 

 will succeed better than most varieties on light soil, has 

 a long ripening season. It is no unusual thing to sec 

 ripe berries and blossoms on the plants at the same time . 

 For a long time \Vm. Belt was the 

 standard of quality, now it shares 

 the honors ^\^th Chesapeake. There are few lovers of 

 Strawberries who will cross plots of many varieties and 

 not pick out \Vm. Belt as the best-flavored, unless 

 there were Chesapeake in one of the plots. The 

 demand for \Vm. Belt has increased during the last 

 few years, and we have increased our stock to meet 

 the demand every year, but seem to be unable to 

 get it large enough. One grower in Washington 

 writes us: "The Wm. Belt and Chesapeake are 

 dandies. I am going to run all my patches to 

 these two kinds, they stood the drought best 

 and are in good shape now." For fancy market 

 or home table it is indispensable and it takes the lead 

 wherever quality is the important consideration. Wm. 

 Belt thrives especially well in the middle and northern 

 states. See illustration in natural colors, page 6. 



YnrI* "^ ^^^ variety from Pennsylvania, which 

 ranks high in productiveness, and its high 

 eating quality, which is simply delicious. It makes a 

 vigorous, healthy growth, with luxuriant, dark green 

 foliage. The berries are long-pointed in shape and 

 medium in size. Try a few — you will like it.
