Strawberry Plants of Quality 



PEARL (Per) 



Pearl has been described as the latest berry but with us is about same 

 season as Gandy only one or two days later. It is a better home g^arden 

 berry than Gandy and will probably do better on the lighter soils if they 

 are rich. It blossoms late and often escapes the late frosts making it de- 

 sirable for frosty locations. The berries are large, dark red, firm and a 

 good shipper. The plants are medium size and good plant makers making 

 plenty of plants for a good bed. Would suggest giving it a trial if you 

 have a market for late berries. 



LUPTON (Per) 



A fancy late variety and, while the flavor is not the best, because of 

 its size and handsome appearance it always brings top prices. A strong, 

 healthy grower, except that it rusts in some sections, especially during wet 

 seasons. Makes plants freely and will do well on most any soil. Berries 

 are large and handsome, very uniform in size and shape; color a rich 

 shiny red all over; no green tips, with a large green calyx that adds much 

 to its beauty; very firm, making an extra good shipper, and for the above 

 reason is a money-maker. Not recommended for the home garden, but a 

 fancy late variety for long distance shipping. I have a good supply of 

 plants that I am sure will please you. 



CHESAPEAKE (Per) 



A very popular late variety on account of its size- handsome appear- 

 ance, fine flavor and excellent shipping qualities. Healthy, productive and 

 profitable. Plants are large size, very vigorous and healthy, no rust or 

 disease of any kind. Fruit uniformly large and holds its size well up 

 to the last, of beautiful appearance, ripens evenly without green tips, 

 firm, being one of our best shippers, and of high quality. Always sells 

 for top prices. Chesapeake does best in rich springy soil where it will 

 make enough plants for a good fruiting bed, and if you have this kind of 

 soil it will prove to be one of your best money makers. 



AROMA (Per) 



Strong sturdy, plants that are heavy producers of large, round, dark- 

 red berries. A strictly high-flavored, high-class market berry; good ship- 

 per and keeper. A standard late variety in many of the great strawberry 

 growing sections, where many growers will plant nothing else. A good 

 one to plant with late pistillate varieties. 



GANDY (Per) 



A fancy late shipping variety that is very extensively grown in some 

 sections, and usually brings top prices. Makes plants freely but should 

 be grown on black springy soil for best results. The berries are of large 

 size, very firm, bright red in color, handsome in appearance and of ex- 

 cellent flavor. 



WYONA (Per) 



A new promising very L*ate variety that comes highlv recommended 

 and claimed to be the latest variety known; very productive bearing its 

 enormous croiD of large bright red berries on tall fruit stems which hold 

 the fruit well up from the ground; very firm and one of our very best 

 shippers. The plants are vigorous and healthy having large dark green 

 foliage and making a good number of strong healthy plants even in a dry 

 season. I have not fruited Wyona except in a very small test plot and 

 it had no chance under conditions I had it but it comes so well recommend- 

 ed would advise giving it a trial.
