Straw be jTy Pla?its of Quality 



MISSIONARY (Per) 



A Standard early variety that is very popular in the southern states 

 and especially in central Florida where it is practically the only variety 

 grown for shipment to the northern markets; also extensively grown in 

 Maryland and Delaware. Berries are medium in size, dark red in color 

 with large green caps making them very attractive in appearance, A good 

 shipper and keeper. I always ship a large quantity of Missionary plants 

 every year and this year I have an extra good supply of 100 percent true 

 to name Missionary and can take care of your order. 



KLONDYKE (Per) 



A Vigorous grower, makes plants abundantly. Berries uniform, of 

 fair size, color rich dark red, very juicy and handsome. Sells quickly at 

 top prices; very firm and one of our best shippers. Klondyke has been 

 a great favorite all thru the south but would suggest that all Klondyke 

 growers try Blakemore as I believe it will make them more money. 



Mid-Season Varieties 



FRUITLAND (Per) 



This new variety originated in this county and has become very 

 popular with growers around Fruitland just south of here. I have not 

 fruited it but the growers and produce brokers both say it is one of their 

 best varieties. Plants are healthy vigorous growers and quite productive 

 of large handsome berries, very firm and of excellent flavor. One grower 

 told me he would not have made any money in 1930 if it had not been 

 for Fruitland. I have a good supply of true to name plants and I re- 

 commend it for trial as a shipping berry. 



BEAUTY (Per) 



A New variety that the introducer says might just as appropriately 

 been named Delicious or Keep Well. The plants make a vigorous root and 

 top growth the foliage being tall and spreading can be told from other 

 varieties at a distance. The plants are tremendously productive of large, 

 rather pale red berries of good quality and firm enough to ship moderate 

 distances I have not fruited Beauty and my test plot was not much of a 

 test on account of the season but believe it worthy of a trial. 



HARVEST KING (Per) 



A new variety that is very highly recommended by the Michigan 

 growers who introduced it. They say it is the greatest canning berry on 

 record and its unusual vitality makes crops certain; that it resembles 

 Premier in size, shape, color, quality and productiveness and sells by ac- 

 tual experience above other good varieties. I have a limited quantity of 

 plants for those who wish to try it out. 



GIBSON (Per) 



Gibson and Parson Beauty are the same; in fact it has been intro- 

 duced under several names and if that is an indication of its worth should 

 be a valuable variety. The plants are healthy and vigorous and make 

 good fruiting beds on almost any kind of soil. Very productive the plants 

 being simply loaded with berries. Fruit of medium to large size, dark 

 red in color and of fine flavor. Gibson is not firm enough for distant 

 shipping but is very popular for canning and for local markets. 



COOPER (Per) 



Cooper is very popular with growers who cater to local or near-by 

 markets on account of its large size, beautiful appearance and fine flavor. 

 Also fine for the home garden. Plant growth is vigorous making a 

 moderate number of large strong plants that produce big crops of fancy 

 berries. If you have a good market that will pay a premium for quality 

 and fine flavor Cooper will fill the bill.
