A LIST OF SELECT VARIETIES 



The following eight varieties are those to which we particularly wish to call your attention. We have 

 thoroughly tried out the newer ones, and will stake our reputation in the value of any and all. Plant five 

 acres next year, using these varieties, and see what money they will bring you. 



KLONDIKE. Per. Berries uniform, shapely, dark red, mild and delicious, very juicy, handsome; 

 sell quickly. We show it in natural colors on the back cover of this book. This is an expensive thing to do, 

 but we want our customers who were not familiar with it to have a chance of seeing how fine it really 

 is. Plants make a remarkable growth, are tall, compact, stalks strong, leaves light green; makes abundant 

 runners and an unusual number of crowns. Yields are wonderful. Blossoms are perfect, but do not fully fer- 

 tilize themselves, and need other sorts near. The name is suggestive of the results this variety brings — often 

 a gold mine would fall behind this Strawberry in bringing profits. Our best-paying early berry. 



Millionaire. Though new, has been grown and thoroughly tested beside other good sorts with entire 

 satisfaction in every respect. Berry medium size, dark, rich red, well shaped, very showy. Latest of all 

 Strawberries — later than Gandy — and it has all of Candy's good points. Foliage strong, makes a very large 

 number of plants and more quarts of berries than any kinds except the Bubach class. Blossoms perfect. 



^ ^ARSONS. Per. Very popular variety. Berries begin to ripen at mid-season and continue until Gandy 

 conies in. Dark red, thick, blunt, mild, fine in flavor and 

 looks. Plants healthy, sturdy and produce twice as many 

 crowns as other sorts. Parsons will thrive and is popular 

 nearly everywhere. 



'TENNESSEE PROLIFIC. Per. Early. Medium size; 

 long; fcright; fine grained, juicy. For western sections. 



<0ANDY. With the exception of Millionaire, Gandy 

 is the latest of all Strawberries. Not only does it bring 

 the very highest prices, but yields tremendous crops of a 

 quality that leaves nothing to be desired in flavor, texture, 

 color and keeping qualities. Berries bright red, with some- 

 what smooth surface. Foliage broad and dark green. 

 Berries are borne on long, upright stems, well above the 

 leaves and dirt. Will not spoil if picking is neglected for 

 a few days after they are ripe. As a late market sort and 

 long-distance shipper, is the best kind we have grown. 

 Plant is a perfect bloomer, strong and vigorous, but should 

 be set near other bisexuals. The heaviest crops and most 

 perfect fruit will grow on heavy, rich, bottom land. Our 

 best-oaying late berry. 



\PUNCAN. Imp. Medium to large; brilliant red, with 

 very firm flesh, subacid flavor and excellent appear- 

 ance. Not a new variety, and yet is little known. It has 

 a great deal of merit. 



Sharpless. Per. One of the largest on strong, rich, 

 moift soil. Not so good on poor soils as a variety like the 

 Tennessee Prolific. Ripens a deep, clear red. It is moder- 

 ately firm, sweet and excellent. A good one. 



^' Haverland. Imp. A medium early variety of fine ap- 

 pearance. Berries medium to large, rich, bright red, long 

 and pointed, and very tempting in appearance. Will thrive 

 in any soil and under almost all conditions; dark, long 

 leaves, lots of strong runners formed ; crops are nearly always 

 large. One of the most valuable for commercial planting. 

 Should be well pollenized by other kinds growing near. 



GLEN MARY. Per. Mid-season. Strong, upright- 

 growing; large, dark green foliage. In rich ground pro- 

 duces remarkable crops. Berries large, deep red, firm, 

 juicy and ot unusually good flavor. Ideal for canning and 

 preserving. Fine shipping sort. 



CRESCENT. Imp. Medium early. Excellent with 

 Uttk care. Medium size; fine grained, solid, juicy; fine tart 

 ■^^vor. 



OAK'S EARLY. Per. Extra-early. Strong grower, 

 very productive. Berries handsome and good.
