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



Climax (Early) — Is a rank gro^Yer of plants that bear a full 

 crop of medium size berries. A good market variety. 



Harerlaiid (Medium early)— This is one of the old ones 

 and is well recommended by most growers as a most desirable one 

 to i)lant. The berries are fine and large size, succeeds well on 

 almost any kind of soil. 



Sample (Medium early) — They have made a fine growth 

 here and I think you would do well to plant some of them. The 

 berries are fine. Try some of them. 



Superior (Medium early) — Is one of the varieties that is 

 grown very extensively for market being a very rank grower of 

 plants that bears a tine crop of fruit every year. A good one for 

 profit. 



Gleii ^lai'.y (Medium early)— One of the best known sorts 

 in cultivation on account of its many good qualities. The berries 

 are noted for their extra large size that sell for a good price in 

 the market. Quality of fruit fine. Good grower. Plant it. 



Bi*aiul,y^viiie (Late)— I have fruited this tine variety for a 

 numl)er of j^ears and where a line late variety is desired it cannot 

 be beat. Berries are dark red in color and look fine in the l)as- 

 ket when picked. Succeeds well everywhere. 



Parsons' Beauty (Medium early)— Is a good general pur- 

 pose l)erry and a rank grower of plants that bear an exceptionally 

 large crop of large dark red berries of fine quality, I clip the 

 following from our local paper: ''Mr. 0. S. Perdue left two quarts 

 of very large Strawberries at our office last Saturday. They were 

 Parsons' Beauties, were beautifully colored and of very large size. 

 We thank Mr. Perdue for his thoughtfulness. 



Xew York (Medium early)— Is a good healthy grower, the 

 plants being exceptionally fine and bear a fine crop of berries that 

 bring the highest market price on account of its large size. Has 

 been very loopular since its introduction. 



Klondike (Early) This is considered by many Strawberry 

 growers to be a variety of considerable merit, being very popular 

 among the growers here. Good grower and bears a large crop of 

 fine berries. I clip the following from our local paper ; ''Mr. ( has. 

 i^u-liardson of near Friendship, Md. boasts of a record crop of 

 Strawberries. From one-fourth of an acre he picked 45 crates of 

 l^erries of the Klondvke varietv." Who can beat it?
