STRAWBERRY PLANTS OF QUALITY 



GANDY— (Per) The quality of 

 ^ the Gandy is known in every berry 

 market throughout this country and 

 usually brings top prices. Berries are 

 borne on upright stems well above 

 the leaves and dirt. Will not spoil if 

 picking is neglected for a day or two 

 after they are ripe. The Gandy is at 

 home on black springy soil or light 

 clay loam but do not plant on high 

 sandy soil. The plants are strong and 

 vigorous, a perfect bloomer but for 

 best results should be set with Big 

 Joe, Chesapeake or some other good 

 perfect sort as it is deficient in pollen. 



KELLOGG'S BIG LATE— (Imp) 

 This is one of the best of the late 

 pistillate varieties and has been 

 thoroughly tested. It is a good grower 

 making enough plants for a good 

 fruiting bed. Its foliage grows tall 

 and spreading. A deeprooter there- 

 fore a good drouth resister. A good 

 producer of medium to large, glossy 

 bright red berries with an excellent 

 flavor. A good shipper and keeper. 



KELLOGG'S PRIZE— (Imp) In- 

 troduced by the R. M. Kellogg. Co 

 the introducers of Premier and seems 

 to be just what we have been looking 

 for a good pistillate variety. The 

 plants are good healthy growers and 

 splendid plant makers. It is said to 

 be very productive of large bright 

 glossy red berries with golden seeds, 

 the rich color extending to the center, 

 and of delicious flavor, firm, a good 

 shipper and keeper. I have grown a 

 nice lot of plants and can supply you 

 at reasonable prices and would ad- 

 vise giving it a trial. 



WM. BELT— (Per) Whenever 

 quality and large size are Considered 

 Wm. Belt ranks with the best. Is 

 probably the most popular fancy va- 

 riety and always brings fancy prices. 

 It is quite productive 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. Abund- 

 ance large berries; good color and 

 shape, peculiar and very fine flavor. 

 If you wish Brandywine this year 

 would advise ordering early. 



LUPTON— (Per) A fancy late va- 

 riety that is here to stay. It is a com- 

 paratively new variety hailing from 

 New Jersey where it has become very 

 popular as a shipping variety; and is 

 rapidly winning friends wherever 

 tried for its many good qualities. It 

 is a strong healthy grower; plants 

 tall and stocky, makes plants freely. 

 The fruit is large and very firm mak- 

 ing an extra good shipper and keeper. 

 Color a rich shiny red all over no 

 green tips. A good late commercial 

 variety and one I believe our south- 

 ern growers should try for shipment 

 north. 



FORD— (Per) A medium late va- 

 riety introduced about 7 years ago. 

 It has been tested in all parts of the 

 country and steadily growing in fa- 

 vor; is a strong healthy grower and 

 makes good beds on most any soil. 

 Blossoms large and rich in pollen. 

 Very productive of large bright red 

 berries that are red to the center, 

 juicy, firm and of excellent flavor. 



AROMA— (Per) Strong, sturdy 

 plants that are heavy producers of 

 large, round dark red berries. A 

 strictly high flavored, high class mar- 

 ket berry; good shipper and keeper. 

 A standard late variety in many of 

 the great strawberry growing sec- 

 tions. 



SAMPLE— (Imp) An old stand- 

 ard medium late variety that pleases 

 all who grow it and largely planted 

 by commercial growers in most all 

 sections; 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 

 variety like Big Joe or Ford. 



CHESAPEAKE— (Per) A very 

 popular variety with most all straw- 

 berry growers on account of its many 

 good qualities. Plants are very large 

 size, very vigorous and healthy. Fruit 

 uniformly large, firm, without tips 

 and of the best eating quality. Ches- 

 apeake is rather particular as to soil 

 to make many plants but if 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.
