Late Varieties of Strawberries 



AROMA. A wonderful late variety ex- 

 tensively planted in all sections of the 

 country; makes a vigorous plant growth; 

 produces large crops of beautiful, almost 

 perfect shape berries, light red with a 

 green cap that are sure to bring good 

 prices in your market whether you sell 

 locally or ship to distant markets for the 

 fruit is very firm and will reach the mar- 

 ket in perfect condition. They are the 

 most popular late berry grown in the South 

 and many of our old customers have found 

 Aroma one their best money-makers. 



Sirs: Alum Bank, Pa., May 2, 1933. 



This is my first order to you. I loaned my 

 catalog to Mr. Nicodemus, and he sent you an order 

 for 2,000 Premier and is very much pleased. I saw 

 his plants and they look fine. Please rush my 

 plants as I am late. Wishing you much success, I 

 am Your customer, Clarence S. Mickle. 



LUPTON. 



BIG LATE. The plant growth of this 

 variety is very vigorous, produces hand- 

 some uniform berries, bright red with 

 yellow seeds and a medium size green 

 cap which makes them very attractive. 

 The blossoms are imperfect, will mate well 

 with Big Joe and Aroma. 



They are very heavy producers, almost 

 equal to Premier, are firm and good ship- 

 pers therefore we believe this will be a 

 profitable berry to raise. 



BRANDYWINE. A late variety that 

 has been grown for many years and has 

 found many friends. A good plant maker 

 and a heavy producer of fine quality, 

 dark red berries that are very firm and 

 will stand shipment to distant markets 

 without damage, are also fine for the home 

 garden and local market. 

 A mighty good late shipping berry, very large, in fact as large as 



Chesapeake and just as attractive but only fair in quality but always brings top 

 prices in city markets. Lupton is a mighty heavy bedder and therefore a fine variety 

 to grow in land where it is impossible to get a satisfactory bed of Chesapeake. They 

 are very firm and excellent shippers but we do not recommend them for home garden. 



WM. BELT. . . This is one of the best 

 flavored berries grown and is the standard 

 of excellence of quality. The berries are 

 somewhat irregular in shape but are fairly 

 large, bright glossy red with a green cap 

 and are therefore handsome. Wm. Belt is 

 desired for the home garden, local market 

 and for the grower who takes pride in the 

 quality of the berries he ships. The con- 

 sumer is always willing to pay good prices 

 for them. Be sure to try a few of them in 

 your patch this year. 



PARSONS' BEAUTY. This is a fine old 

 variety for the home garden or local market. 

 The plants make a vigorous growth, are 

 easy to bed and are very productive through 

 a long fruiting season, of dark red, fine 

 flavored, medium size berries. The house- 

 wife will find them unexcelled for canning 

 and very easy to cap. 



GANDY. This is one of the old varie- 

 ties that ranks as a leader among extra 

 late shipping berries. It does best in low, 

 springy land as it needs plenty of moisture 

 through fruiting season. Gandy is not a 

 heavy producer but all the berries are very 

 large and of fine quality, fruit bright red with a large green cap, therefore very 

 handsome, and will stand shipment to distant markets in perfect condition for they 

 are the firmest berries on the market. They are good plant makers and you should 

 have no trouble in getting a good fruiting bed. 



WM. BELT— The standard of excellence.

Best Rooted Plants 



Dear Sirs: Crafton. Pa., May 1, 1933. 



The strawberry plants arrived in good shape 

 and am well pleased with them. The best rooted 

 plants I have seen in many years. Thank you.
