Catalog of C. S. Perdue's Strawberry Plant Farm, Showell, Md. 7 



Fairfield (Extra Early) — The berries are larger size than 

 Excelsior and quality much better. Good plant maker and is 

 suitable for either home garden or market. 



St. Louis (Extra Early) — This is recommended by some 

 growers to be a good commercial variety. Does not make as many 

 plants as Excelsior or Fairfield. Berries are large size and fair 

 quality.

Showell, Md., October 6, 1915. 

 As to the way C. S. Perdue does business, I have served him for some 

 years and have yet to hear the first complaint about his honesty and prompt- 

 ness in all business dealings and I know he has a fine lot of Strawberry plants, 

 including the very best varieties and anyone would do well in placing an order 

 with him.
