Catalog of C. S. Perdue*' s Strawberry Plant Farm, Show ell, M<1. 



GLEN MARY — (Mid-season) . Very popular in some sections of the 

 country, especially in Neiw England, New York and Pennsylvania. An 

 immense yielder of very large size Iberries, dark red in color, very fine 

 flavor. A good strong grower of large and healthy plants. Let me have your 

 orders for them. 



BIG JOE — (Mid^season to late). The very best kind to plant if you 

 want a good crop of really fancy strawberries. Bright red in color, extremely 

 large size, delicious flavor. Makes just enough strong, healthy plants for a 

 good crop of really fancy berries. For profit plant Big Joe. It is distinctly a 

 money maker. Let me have your orders for Big Joe plants, they will please 

 you. Note clipping from one of our local papers: "Strawberries at Federals- 

 burg, Md., are yielding heavily and bringing record prices. Raymond Andrews, 

 a young farmer, picked 4 5 thirty-two-quart crates from one acre, some of 

 which brought over $6 per crate, the whole bringing $2 20 over all expenses 

 of picking, crates and basket's. Harvey Parrott received $417. i 5 for a one- 

 ton truck load. Some of (the largest berries ever seen here were of the Big 

 Joe varieties, fifteen filling a quart basket." 



CHESAPEAKE-— (Late). A very popular variety with most all straw- 

 berry growers on account of its many excellent qualities. Plants are very 

 large size; in fact, the largest I have ever grown; very vigorous and healthy; 

 if planted in good rich soil will make enough plants for a good fruiting bed. 

 Does not do well on very poor soil except they be given good care and liberal 

 applications of manure. Berries are very fine in every way, exceptionally 

 large size, excellent color and fine flavor, very firm and will stand shipping. 

 It ripens its crop a few days earlier than Gandy. You will not make any mis- 

 take if you plant Chesapeake. 



AROMA — (Late). A standard late variety in many of the great straw- 

 berry growing sections. A good plant make of large and extremely healthy 

 plants. Berries are large size, very firm, bright red color and excellent flavor. 

 For late berries plant Aroma, 



GANDY — (Late to Very Late). A standard late berry and a most profit- 

 able kind. A good plant maker of large and very healthy plants. Berries 

 are exceedingly fine, large size, excellent color and good flavor, making them 

 very beautfiul and attractive. The very best shipping variety. Note clipping 

 from one of our local papers: "The Gandy is one of the best late varieties, 

 large size, firm and a good shipper and always sells well. Mr. L. J. Collins 

 is reported to have sold nearly $600 worth of Gandys from two acres at one 

 picking on last Tuesday." I have a fine stock of Gandy plants. Let me havp 

 your order for them.
