STRAWBERRY PLANTS OF QUALITY 5 
Nich Ohmer—(Per) A fine variety 
to plant for fancy trade. Berries are 
very large size, beautiful bright red 
eolor and of unusually good flavor, a 
good shipping variety, being quite firm, 
also an excellent one for home garden. 
A good plant maker of large vigorous 
plants. 
Wm. Belt—(Per) Whenever quality 
and large size are considered Wm. Belt 
ranks with the best. Is probably the 
most popular faney variety and always 
brings faney prices. It is quite pro- 
ductive of extra large berries that are 
bright red all over, firm and of the very 
best quality. 
Brandywine—(Per) One of the old 
time favorites. Strong upright grower 
with erect fruit stems. Abundance large 
berries; good color and shape, peculiar 
and very fine flavor. If you wish 
Brandywine this year would advise 
ordering early. 
Stevens’ Late Champion— (Per) 
Largely planted throughout the northern 
states. A strong vigorous grower and 
heavy vielder of large size, fair quality 
berries, that are firm and a good ship- 
per. Does well on sandy or dry gravel- 
ly soils. Does not do well in the south. 
Lupton—(Per) A fancy late variety 
that is here to stay. It is a comparative 
new variety hailing from New Jersey 
where it has become very popular as a 
shipping variety. It is a strong, healthy 
grower; makes plants freely. The fruit 
is large and very firm, making an extra 
good shipper and keeper. ‘Color, a rich 
shiny red all over, no green tips, with 
a large green calyx that adds much to 
its beauty, and for the above reasons is a 
money maker. Do not plant for home 
use as it is of poor eating quality but 
a fine late commerical variety for long 
distance shipping and one I believe 
our southern growers should try for 
shipment north. 
Ford—(Per) A medium late variety 
introduced about 8 years ago. It has 
been thoroughly tested in all parts of 
the country and steadily growing in 
favor, and is being largely planted in 
this section. It is a strong, healthy 
erower, and makes good beds on most 
any soil. The berries are very uniform 
in size and shape, and has full size 
green cap that adds much to its ap- 
pearance. Very productive of medium 
to large bright berries that are red to 
the center, juicy, firm and of excel- 
lent flavor. 
Aroma—(Per) Strong, sturdy plants 
that are heavy producers of large round 
dark red berries. A strictly high flavored, 
high class market berry; good shipper 
and keeper. A standard late variety in 
many of the great strawberry growing 
sections. 
Sample—(Imp) An old standard 
medium late variety that pleases all 
who grow it and largely planted by 
commercial growers in most all sec- 
tions; also fine for home use. A good 
producer of large size, excellent quality, 
berries, that are bright red in color, firm 
and of rich flavor. Should be pollenized 
with some good veriety like Big Joe or 
Ford. 
Chesapeake—(Per) See illustration 
on third page cover. A very popular 
variety with most all strawberry growers 
on account of its many good qualities. 
Plants are very large size, dark green in 
color, very vigorous and healthy, no 
rust, no disease of any kind. Fruit 
uniformly large, of beautiful appearance, 
firm, without green tips, and of best 
eating quality. Chesapeake is_ rather 
particular as to soil to make many 
plants, but 1f you have land to suit it, 
you could not go wrong in planting it. 
Does best in rich, springy soil, where 
it will make enough plants for a good 
fruiting bed. Well known and exten- 
sively planted wherever strawberries are 
erown. 
If my plants please you tell your friends, if not tell me 
so | can make it right because a satisfied customer is my 
best advertisement.
