Glen Mary. 



Excelsior. 



earliest 

 glossy, 

 Fairfield. 



This is decidedly the best early Strawberry and the 

 good strawberry. The fruit is of round conical form, 



dark red color, and of mildly acid flavor. 



Noted for earliness, size, and fine quality. 



Success. Large, round, bright scarlet, flavor always fine. 

 Virginia. P. A medium sized berry of recent introduction ; flavor 



excellent ; enormous yielder. Made a record of 1 2 ,000 quarts 



per acre at its home in the State of Virginia. 



SECOND EARLY. 



Clima.Y. This is an extremely popular new variety, immensely 

 productive, the berries being slightly over medium size. Plant 

 vigorous, healthy grower, of a peculiar shade of green that can 

 be distinguished from other varieties. Our stock is from plants 

 procured from the originator and is exceptionally fine. 



Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; firm and of fine 

 flavor. 



Sample. P. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, 

 large, firm, and delicious. 



Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by 

 him, said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better 

 than Senator Dunlap. It will keep in fair condition for several 

 da\-s on the vines after being ripe enough to pick. The fruit is 

 large, rich and dark red, with a very rich flavor. 



MEDIUM. 



Abington. A strong growing native variety of recent introduc- 

 tion. The fruit is of large size, bright red in color, very solid 

 and of excellent flavor. 



Bubach. P. A well known popular variety. Large berries of a 

 rich, bright red color; very prolific. 



Big Ben. A new seedling variety of merit which in some sections 

 of this state has become the favorite fancy market sort. The 

 plants are of vigorous growth and very productive with large 

 fruit of a rich crimson color. Per 100, $4.00 ; per 1,000, S35. 00. 



Brandy wine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect 'n form, bright 

 red in color, firm flesh, red to the centre, and of rich spicy flavor. 

 A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well 

 up from the ground and generally succeeds ev'erywhere. 



Bismarck. Bismarck is a safe pollenizing strawberry, possessing 

 all the desirable qualities of Bubach. To those familiar with 

 the Bubach nothing further need be said, since Bubach has 

 been a favorite berry for years. Bismarck makes a much finer 

 growth than Bubach, and, from the fact that it beds up better, 

 it will generally produce a larger yield per acre. Color a dull 



scarlet, ripens all over at once, having no green tips. The 

 seeds are prominent, and the berries quite firm. 



Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, 

 of handsome, glossy, dark crimson color, and of delicious flavor. 

 It is one of the best midseason berries either for private use 

 or market. It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and 

 high cultivation. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should 

 not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained. 



Minute Man. P. Very productive, and free growing sort with 

 large solid berries. A fine market variety. 



New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. 

 The berries are large, of long conical form; dark red color, 

 firm texture and of remarkabl}' sweet flavor. In the market 

 they sell at sight. 



Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free 

 from rust, and ripening about one week earlier than Gandv. 

 It is nearly as large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in 

 either high or low land, but owing to the immense crops it 

 sets, the ground should be well fertilized to ensure best results. 



LATE TO VERY LATE. 



Belmont. This old favorite is still considered by many to be the 

 finest late berry. The fruit is of handsome appearance and 

 keeps well. 



Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing 

 large conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal 

 to the well known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, 

 but also very productive, of deep rich color and solid. It is 

 smooth and quite jucy. The plants are strong, not quite so 

 rank in growth as the Marshall, and free from rust. 



Qandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most 

 berry growers. It is more largely grown than any other late 

 variety. It is at home on black swamp land if well drained, 

 upon medium stiff or red clay land. On sandy soils it is unpro- 

 ductive. All late varieties are compared by Gandy, which is 

 the highest praise that could be given it. Large size, fine 

 appearance, and remarkable keeping and carrying qualities. 



New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color 

 that does not lose its lustre and turn dark for a long time after 

 being picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will 

 produce a large crop on either high or low land. The fruit is 

 so firm and keeps so well it does not need to be picked oftener 

 than three times a week. Its great productiveness, uniform 

 large size, and unsurpassed carrying and keeping qualities make 

 it one of the most desirable on the list. 



William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads 

 the list. The berries are as large, with some specimens larger, 

 than the Bubach. It is about as productive as the Bubach, 

 and of nearly the same shape. Its color is a bright, glossy, 

 deep red; its season, nearly as late as Gandy. 



Stevens' Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy t>-pe yield- 

 ing large crops of beautiful berries very late in the season. In 

 New Jersey it is considered one of the finest sorts for late crop. 



ALPINE VAKIETY. 



Large Red Alpine. No one who has eaten the delicious little straw- 

 berries of the Alps will ever forget their delicious aromatic 



flavor. We are now able to offer this large fruited variety of 

 the Alpine strawberry. Per doz., $1.00.
