are 

 re- 



MISSIONART, per. This is a variety 

 that has made good and come to the 

 front without any advertising. We 

 not the originators but are largely 

 sponsible for its wide distribution in the 

 southern states. And we say with out 

 fear off contradiction that it is the 

 most popular variety grown in Florida to- 

 day. We have been unable to grow e- 

 nough plants to supply our trade for the 

 past two seasons. This season we have 

 largely increased our acreage of MIS- 

 SIONARY, although the season being 

 unfavorable for the growing of plants 

 we expect to be short as usual. 



We have booked orders the entire sum- 

 mer for this variety from the southern 

 states to be delivered this fall and 

 winter.The Missionary does not confine 

 Its popularity alone in the Southern 

 states. It is fast gaining in the East 

 and West.Va. being its home makes it 

 very popular there, also seasons early, 

 makes plenty of well grown plants that 

 hold the fruit well off the ground, resem- 

 'bling the Klondyke in that respect. En- 



tirely free from rust, fruit medium to 

 large, extra firm, quality fine. Taking it 

 as a whole it is an ideal commercial va- 

 riety, and if you have not tried them 

 you should do so at once. Our price have 

 always been very reasonable on this va- 

 riety. This season we have advanced 

 them slightly owing to the short crop we 

 have grown. This we were compelled to 

 do in justice to ourselves. We can 

 fill large orders and allow a discount as 

 usual. 



BRANDY WINE— late. A great favorite 

 with some but in our judgment there are 

 many late varieties to select from. 



GLEN MARY, late. Resembles the 

 Gandy.A good one in some sections, in 

 others it fails. 



GANDY,late.Too well known to need 

 description. We have a fine stock of 

 plants that will give the very best 

 of satisfaction and solicit your orders no 

 matter how large.
