PACKING STRAWBERRY PLANTS IN MARCH. 

 We pack in slated crates and guarantee them to reach any point in good conditioiu 



Sliarpless— (Per.) An old standard variety, one 

 of the very largest; when planted on strong, rich, 

 moist soil, one -wotild be surprised at the fine speci- 

 mens it will produce, but the variety will do fairly 

 well in lighter soils, but not as -well as a variety like 

 Tennessee Prolific on poor soils. The berry when 

 not fully ripe is a little white at the tip. 



Sample — (Imp.) The introducer says: "This 

 new berry is large size and fine quality, quite firm, 

 continues a long time in fruit. The berries are large 

 to the last. For the marketman it is the best straw- 

 berry ever grown. Yields as many benies as the 

 Haverland, and average as large as the Bubach. 

 Late." 



Senator r>unlap--(Per.) This variety has in a 

 short time become quite well known and popular. 

 Medium to large, conical, occasionally flattened 

 slightly, or ribbed; color a rich dark crimson. Flesh 

 red throughout, firm and fine in texture; quality ex- 

 cellent, sprightly. Plant a good strong grower and 

 healthy.— Ohio Experiment Station. 



Superior— It ripened midway between Michel's 

 Early and Haverland. It did not seem to be at all 

 affected by the dry hot weather. The berries are 

 good size and shape and of a beiautiful glossy red 

 color. Try Superior on rich land. Very productive- 

 Sutherland — (Imp.) This variety was sent out 

 by Mr. Eug-ene Sutherland, of New York State. 

 Plants have a dark green foliage and no rust. They 

 make a good quantity of well-rooted plants. Mr. 

 Sutherland says, "that the Sutherland is a seedling 

 of the Bubach, with strong, vigorous, healthy foli- 



age, and the greatest bearer he has ever seen. The 

 fruit is large, bright color, and has an elegant fla- 

 vor. Blossom imperfect." 



Tennessee Prolific— (Per.) A fine one to grow, 

 very desirable to plant with most pistillate varieties 

 in a general way. Comes up to all former and sur- 

 passed aU past records when given a chance with 

 other good varieties. The only objection to them is 

 they are a little^inclined to be soft if left too thick 

 in the bed, but if they are properly cared for and not 

 allowed to ripen too thoroughly in the patch there 

 will be no complaint on this account. 



Tilghman's Favorite— Originated in Wicomi- 

 co County, Md., by one of the leading strawberry 

 growers. Spoken of as a good market variety, 

 ripening medium to late. 



Uncle Jim- -Berry is very large and uniform in 

 size, of a bright, beautiful red color, of high quality, 

 and is a variety that is very productive. The plant 

 is large and healthy, with abundant foliage, forming 

 a row just right for fruiting. The berries are large, 

 heart-shaped and very uniform— aU are handsome 

 and very attractive — an excellent shipper, unsur- 

 passed for canning and very productive. Season 

 medium to late. It has a perfect blossom, ^vith 

 plenty of pollen. 



Warfield— (Imp.) To get the best fruit of this 

 variety it must be thinned at least of one-half of the 

 runners that are made in order to give it sufficien i 

 room and sunlight. If neglected and left too thicl: 

 the berries are sure to be small, but in productive 

 ness it is almost unsurpassed. ^ The berry is dark 

 red color, firm and of medium size.
