indicates hardiness and ability to withstand unfavorable weather conditions. 

 Our supply of plants is somewhat limited, but what we have are vigorous, healthy 

 and well rooted, and we recommend it for trial to all berry-growers who think 

 they should have something better in a midseason shipping berry. Price-list, 

 page 34. 



GLEN MARY. Old standard variety, well and favorably known to many 

 commercial strawberry growers in the north. A vigorous grower, producing large 

 crops of good-sized, irregular-shaped berries. Glen Mary has many times pro- 

 duced as much as 10,000 quarts per acre under good conditions. It does not do 

 well in the South on account of leaf spot or rust. Price-list, page 34. 



HARVEST KING. Very highly recommended by the Michigan growers who 

 introduced it. A chance seedling which they express themselves as believing will 

 prove to be the real monarch of all the spring fruiting strawberries. We have not 

 fruited the variety, but in plant growth it is very satisfactory. Introducers say 

 it stands supreme in all respects, productiveness, quality, for home use or for 

 market, and as a canning berry. We have a limited quantity of plants obtained 

 from the introducer for those who wish to try it out. Price-list, page 34. 



HAVERLAND. One of the best of the old, standard varieties. Equalled in 

 productiveness among the better varieties only by Premier, Big Late and a few 

 others. Blossoms are imperfect, and, as they are hardy, makes it very desirable 

 where late frosts are likely. Big Joe, Senator Dunlap, Aberdeen, or any good, 

 perfect blossoming, midseason variety can be used as pollenizers. Haverland 

 is largely grown by experienced growers. The berries are of large size, long, coni- 

 cal in shape, rather light in color and fairly firm if kept picked closely and ship- 

 ping distances are moderate. Price-list, page 34. 



LEMAN. Originated in Clark County, Ohio, as a chance seedling and grown 

 there for several years. Apparently much liked by commercial growers and 

 buyers. We have not fruited it here, but growers say it is large in size, attractive 

 in apperance, firm in texture, and ripens evenly throughout. Good for preserving. 

 We have a small stock of nice plants. Price-list, page 34. 



PAUL JONES. Vigorous plant grower and very productive. Berries medium 

 in size, long, conical in shape and dark red in color. The berries are fairly firm in 

 texture and of medium quality. Paul Jones will produce tremendous crops of 

 fruit, probably more than any variety we have except Premier. In spite of this, 

 however, we believe the greatest satisfaction and profit is to be had with the 

 larger, firmer berries such as Premier for early. Big Joe for mid-season and 

 Chesapeake, Big Late or Wm, Belt for late. We have a nice stock of Paul Jones 

 plants and they sure do bear. Price-list, page 34.
