BIG JOE 



BIG JOE <J° e Johnson) 

 is one of the 

 best, if not the best of the mid-sea- 

 son to late varieties and the kind to 

 plant if you want a big crop of fan- 

 cy berries. Beginning to ripen just 

 as the early berries start to run 

 down they always bring a prem- 

 ium of a dollar or two a crate 

 and is the best variety I know of 

 to go with Premier (or Dorsett and 

 Fairax) and Chesapeake to give 

 you a full crop of fancy berries 

 from the beginning to the end of 

 the berry season. The plants are 

 exceedingly vigorous and make 

 fine fruiting beds on most any kind 

 of soil that will produce strawber- 

 ries; makes good under nearly all 

 conditions, but, like most other va- 

 rieties, responds quickly to a little 

 extra care and fertilizer. 



Berries are bright red in color 

 with a large bright green cap that 

 makes them very attractive, firm 

 and of excellent flavor making a 

 fine table berry, are almost perfect in shape, of very large size and produced in great abundance 

 for so large a berry. Sells for top prices and whether you retail your berries, sell at the farm 

 or roadside stand or ship to market you should include Big Joe in your planting for I am sure 

 you will be pleased with the results. 



DR. BLJRRELL Some times called the million dollar strawberry but it is identi- 

 cal with Dunlap or so near like it you would not need to buy 

 the two and I am giving description under that variety. 



BEA.UTY A good mid-season variety for the northern half of the country where the 

 markets are near by but not so good for the south as it is not firm enough 

 to ship to distant markets. The plants make a vigorous root and top growth, the foliage be- 

 ing tall, can be easily told from other varieties at a distance. I have fruited Beauty two years 

 and with me they set a heavy crop of fruit but the foliage did not hold up so well especially 

 in a dry season and many of the berries sun scalded. Berries are large, rather pale red in color 

 and of good quality. 



GiIBSON ^ as Deen introduced under several names and if that is any indication of 

 its worth should be a valuable variety and is an old favorite with growers 

 in many sections. The plants are healthy and vigorous making good fruiting beds on almost 

 any kind of soil. Very productive, the plants being simply loaded with berries. Fruit medium 

 to large size, dark red in color and of fine flavor. Gibson is not firm enough for distant ship- 

 ping but is very popular for canning and for local or nearby markets. 



DUNLAP -^ n old-time favorite throughout the northern half of the country and still 

 grown by many of its old friends, although it is being gradually replaced by 

 newer varieties, especially Premier, which is better in most every way. Dunlap will grow 

 and succeed under nearly all conditions and with any kind of treatment. A sure cropper and 

 heavy yielder. Berries are medium to large, firm and attractive, juicy and of delicious flavor.
