NIC OHMER (Per)— Mid season, to 

 late. A good southern variety not very 

 well known in the north and west. Needs 

 good rich soil to bring out all its quali- 

 ties, should never be allowed to bed too 

 thick, is strictly a fancy variety when 

 properly cared for and will demand top 

 market prices. We have a fine stock of 

 plants this season at reasonadle prices. 

 Get The THOROUGHBREDS from us. 

 and grow twice the amount of berries 

 from the same acreage. 



WM. BELT — Mid-season. A very large 

 berry with an extra fine flavor. Too 

 well known to need description. Is not a 

 favorite with us on account of rust. 



ST. LOUIS (Per)— Originated in Ark. 

 by J. A. Bauer. This is one of the very 

 earliest varieties to ripen with us and is 

 a, splendid variety, especially for home 

 use or home market, being too soft to 

 carry well. Makes plenty of strong 

 healthy plants, very productive, berries 

 very large for an early variety. Color 

 light red all over. It will take top prices 

 in any home market and will net the 

 grower as much money as any variety 

 in our list where a home market is con- 

 venient. There is no need of making a 

 long description here as this berry has 

 been fully advertised in almost all cata- 

 logs for the past three seasons. Will 

 only add that we have a fine stock of 

 plants at reasonable prices and will be 

 glad to fill your orders. 



KLONDYKE (Per)— .We are headquar- 

 ters for this variety. Too well known to 

 need detailed description here. Will add 

 that it is the largest grown of any early 

 variety in this country, owing more to 

 Its shipping qualities than any other 

 point .We have been supplying many of 

 the large associations with this variety 

 for several seasons and will say that we 

 are prepared to handle your orders this 

 season, no matter how large, and can 

 give you the best of service. We have 

 selected the very best of our Maryland 

 soil for the growing of these plants and 

 can say that we have the finest stock 

 that we have ever grown. Let us know 

 your wants and we will give special pric« 

 No matter where you live we can please 

 you. 



Fall Bearing Varieties 



This class of strawberries is fast 

 coming to the front in almost every 



section. For many years none of us paid 

 but little attention to them, but their pop- 

 ularity has compelled us to take notice. 

 I find the most of the fall bearing va- 

 rieties the very best spring croppers 

 that I have. For my own use I would not 

 care to keep all blooms off that come on 

 them in early summer in order to have a 

 bumper crop. They usually bear all the 

 berries we can use when left to them- 

 selves and we have berries from spring 

 until freezes set in. My two favorities 

 for the fall crop are Pan-American and 

 Autumn. 



The above I quote you this season at 

 75 cents per Doz, $4.00 per 100, 



Productive, Imp, Francis, per, Dew 

 Drop, per, Iowa, per Superb, per.Ameri- 

 cus, per, all strictly fall-bearing varie- 

 ties from the same old mother,Pan-Amer 

 can. Prices as follows, per doz. $2. 50, 100 

 $20.00. 



TEDDY, R. A variety that has done 

 wonderfully for me but does not seem to 

 be a perfect fall bearer every where else. 

 I think It one of the very best for late 

 spring and early summer varieties, coming 

 in after the Gandy when the markets are 

 clear of fruit, bringing the best of prices. 



I advise setting Teddy R. whether it 

 bears in fall or not. Prices as follows, per 

 doz., $40 cents, per lUU,$2.50,per 1000, $20,- 

 00, as long as they last. Crop very short 

 this season. 



By E. W. Townsend, Pres. 



P. S. I am asked many questions dur- 

 ing a season in reference to the above 

 varieties and trust that I have made it 

 plain to all what I think -^ them as 

 spring, summer and fall croppers. If you 

 have never grown any of them better do 

 so this season, especially so for family use. 

 There is lots of enjoyment in a nice 

 plate of berries In late summer and fall 

 as well as In spring-time, and if you 

 are a Huckster to near market you 

 can make them VGiy profitable when you 

 can deliver your customers nice ripe ber- 

 ries the whole season. 



You will do us a favor and also hun- 

 dreds of our customers if you will write 

 us telling which varieties are doing the 

 best with you. This question is asked 

 of us every day, what variety do you rec- 

 ommend for me?I trust you will favor 

 me this time and help me out on My Bit; 

 1913 Catalog.
