STRAWBERRY PLANTS OF QUALITY 



CHESAPEAKE '^'^^^ ^'^^^^ '^^"^ "^^*^^ PoPhImi- lato variety with strawberry 



growers and dosoi-vedly so on account of its large size, 

 handsome appearance, fine flavor, and excellent shipping- qualities. Healthy, productive 

 and profitable. Plants are large size, very vigorous and healthy, no rust or disease of 

 any kind and due to the fact that Chesapeake inakes only a moderate number of plants 

 the berries are all large, not just a few large ones and the rest small, but hold their size 

 well up to the last: in this respect it is the best late Ixu-i-y grown. 



The berries are bright red in color with a large green cap making them beautiful in 

 appearance, ripens evenly without green tips, firm, being one of oiu- best shippers and of 

 the highest quality. Always sells for top prices. Growlers around I'ittsville, Md., a few 

 miles east of here make more money from Chesapeake than from any other late variety. 

 It is nothing unusual for them to receive $1.50 to $2.00 more per crate for Chesapeake 

 than for any otlier variety of same season ex'cept possibly Gandy. P>looms late and es- 

 capes the late frosts and very seldom, if ever, has a crop failure. Fine for the home gar- 

 den as it is of the best eating quality. Chesapeake does best on a rich springy soil where, 

 with good cultivation, will make a good, well spaced, fruiting bed and if you have this 

 kind of soil you need not hesitate to plant it for it will be one of your best money makers. 



L U P T O N "^ fancy late shipping variety that always brings top prices on account 

 of its large size and handsome appearance being almost as lai-ge and 

 handsome as Chesapeake. The plants are good bedders making a better fruiting bed 

 than Chesapeake and if your land does not suit Chesapeake would suggest planting Lup- 

 ton. The berries are large and handsome, very uniform in size and shape ; color a rich 

 shiny red all over, no green tips, w^ith a large green calyx that adds much to its beauty; 

 very firm, making an extra good shipper and for this reason is a money-maker. Not re- 

 commended for the home garden, but a fancy late variety for long distance shipping. 



BIO LATE '^^■^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ pistillate variety in size, quality and productiveness. 

 It is a good healthy grower with tall spreading foliage that shades 

 the berries from the sun and protects the blossoms from frost. The plants are loaded each 

 season with large, bright glossy red berries of excellent flavor, and are firm, good ship- 

 pers and keepers. Set Big Late with Aroma or Big Joe for best results. 



PEARL ^^ fancy late variety beginning to ripen just after Gandy, which it re- 

 sembles but wall probably do better on the lighter soils if they are rich, 

 but like Gandy need low springy soil to do its best. It blossoms 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 in size, but vigorous growers, making 

 plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed. Pearl is the variety to plant if you wish to ex- 

 tend the strawberry season for a day or two or have a market for fancy late berries. 



GANDY "^ fancy extra late shipping variety that is very extensively grown in 

 some sections and usually brings top prices for the quality of the Gandy 

 is known in ievery market throughout the country. Makes plants freely but should be 

 grown on black springy soil as it needs plenty of moisture at fruiting time. The ber- 

 ries are of large size, very firm, being one of our best shippers and will not spoil if pick- 

 ing is neglected for a day or two; are bright red in color, handsome in appearance and 

 of excellent flavor. 



AROMA ^ "^'^^'5^ popular late variety on account of its large size ; attractive 

 appearance and excellent quality and is extensively planted in all sec- 

 tions and especially in the middle west. Plants are strong, vigorous growers and are 

 heavy producers of large, round, almost perfect shaped bei-ries that are bright red and 

 attractive in appearance. A strictly high flavored high class market berry and one that 

 you can ship to distant markets and will reach there in almost perfect condition. A real 

 money-maker in many sections. 



W M. BELT Whenever quality and large size are considered, Wm. Belt ranks 

 with the best. Is probably the most popular fancy variety and al- 

 ways brings fancy prices. Does best in the middle and northern states. It is quite pro- 

 ductive of extra large berries that are somew'hat irregular in shape ; color a beautiful 

 bright red, firm, and of the very best quality. Largely planted in many sections, and if 

 you have a market that will pay a premium for quality Wm. Belt is the variety to plant. 

 I have a good supply of plants this season and will please you.
