Mid-Season Varieties 



Abington. An old standard. Berries large, good quality, 

 blossoms perfect. Price, $10.00 per 1,000. 



BIG JOE. (Joe Johnson) (Joe). One of the most popular 

 shipping berries on nearly all large markets. It is a strong grower, 

 making plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed. The berries are 

 large.bright red, and have large, light green caps, which makes the 

 berries very attractive, and adds to the selling price. The qual- 

 ity is good and the berries are quite firm. It is a good shipper, 

 and equally good for fancy local market purposes. One of the 

 most productive. One of the best to plant with heavy-bearing 

 imperfect flowering varieties like Haverland, Paul Jones, Big 

 Late, Hustler, Sample, etc. Price, $8.00 per 1,000. See illus- 

 tration, page 15. 



Ekey. (O. I. C.) A vigorous growing variety that you can 

 depend on to give a big crop. The berries resemble in shape 

 Haverland and Paul Jones, and is a good variety to plant with 

 them. The berries are of good quality, and firm enough to ship, 

 and the large bright green caps make it very attractive in appear- 

 ance. We have used Ekey, planted with Paul Jones in our 

 fruiting patches. We recommend them both. Price, $8.00 per 

 1,000. See illustration, page 16. 



GLEN MARY. In the Middle and Northern States where 

 Glen Mary is at its best, probably no variety of strawberries will 

 produce more quarts per acre. The berries are large, firm enough 

 to ship, of handsome appearance and good quality. Glen Mary 

 is a strong grower and produces an abundance of foliage. The 

 blossoms are about half perfect, but carry enough pollen for 

 their own fruit. However, we believe the size and quality of 

 the berries can be increased by planting in a few rows of some 

 strong pollenizer, as Big Joe or Ekey. Price, S10.00 per 1,000. 



They Were all Right. 



Have received the plants and have them planted already. They were 

 all right. ' David Sellexrick.
