STRAWBERRY PLANTS OF QUALITY 13 
CHESAPEAKE (Per) 
A very popular late variety on account of its size, handsome appearance, 
fine flavor and excellent shipping qualities. Healthy, productive and profit- 
able. For further description see inside back cover page. 
BIG JOE (Per) 
Also known as Joe Johnson. One of the best if not the best, of the 
mid-season to late varieties, and the kind to plant if you want a big crop of 
fancy berries. The plants are exceedingly vigorous and make fine fruiting 
beds on any soil that will produce strawberries. Makes good under nearly 
all conditions. Berries are firm, bright red in color, almost perfect in shape, 
of very large size and produced in great abundance for so large a berry. 
Sells for top prices. It is a fine table berry, and I can recommend it for home 
use or for distant market. For profit, plant Big Joe; it is distinctly a 
money-maker. 
BURGESS. (Per) 
Originated in Alabama a few years ago and claimed to be a seedling of 
Aroma and better than Aroma in every respect. I have not fruited it but if 
it is better than Aroma it is a most valuable variety as Aroma is a fine old 
variety . It is described as being more vigorous as a plant grower, equally 
as productive and the berries are larger and about as firm as Aroma and 
darker in color. Burgess comes highly praised and would recommend giving 
tea, tral. 
LUPTON (Per) 
A fancy late variety and, while the flavor is not of the best, because of 
its size and handsome appearance it always brings top prices. A strong, 
healthy grower, except that it rusts in some sections, especially during wet 
seasons. Makes plants freely and will do well on most any soil. Berries 
are large and handsome, very uniform in size and shape; color a rich shiny 
red all over; no green tips, with a large green calyx that adds much to its 
beauty; very firm, making an extra good shipper, and for the above reason 
is a money-maker. Not recommended for the home garden, but a fancy late 
variety for long distance shipping. I have good supply of plants that I am 
sure will please you. . 
PEARL (.Per) 
Pearl has been described as the latest berry but with us last season was 
about same season as Gandy only one or two days later. I only had a few 
plants to fruit last season and did not get to give it a fair test but from what 
I saw of them do not believe there is enough difference in time of ripening 
to make much difference in price of fruit but of course another season with 
a larger test it might be different. It is a better home garden berry than 
Gandy and will probably do better on the lighter soils if they are rich. It blos- 
some late and often escapes the late frosts making it desirable for frosty 
locations. The berries are large, dark red, firm and a good shipper. The plants 
are medium size and good plant makers making plenty of plants for a good 
bed. I have a good supply of plants for this season at reasonable prices, and 
would suggest giving it a trial if you have a market for late berries.
