Y WIFE says the only trouble with your Strawberry plants was that the crowns were so big one wasted 

 too much time in stopping to admire them. — H. E. Nutt, Illinois.

sold them for 23 cents a quart wholesale." Be sure 



to include some of these in your order. 



Marshall. An old standard, fancy variety that 

 New England market-gardeners grow for their very 

 fanciest trade. While not quite so productive as 

 some others, its large size, fine quality and hand- 

 some appearance find ready sales for it at top 

 prices. 



Mascot. A good late 

 berry; large and firm. 



Missionary. Grown 

 extensively as a ship- 

 ping berry all through 

 the South and especi- 

 ally in Florida. It is 

 an excellent shipper 

 and is highly recom- 

 mended by a number 

 of New York com- 

 mission merchants on 

 account of its hand- 

 some appearance in the 

 package and its good 

 carrying qualities. It 

 is a vigorous grower 

 and the berries hold 

 their size well through 

 the season. 



Mitchell's Early. One of the very best-flavored 

 berries grown for eating directly from the vines. It 

 is a vigorous grower, producing a good crop which 

 is good enough for the home table and firm enough 

 for market. 



New York. An especially valuable variety for the 

 home garden or home market. It is of large size and 

 one of the very best in quality. Ripens midseason. 



THE BEST IS CHEAPEST

Nick Ohmer. An old variety which 

 originated in Ohio. It is productive of 

 large, rich, glossy red, globular berries, which are 

 high-colored all the way through and of good 

 quality. Grown extensively in the South for ship- 

 ment to northern markets, where it brings special 

 prices. Seems to be gaining in popularity in many 

 other sections, and is able to hold its own wherever 

 it has been tried. 



Ohio Boy. Season very 

 late; plants strong, vigorous 

 growers, which produce a 

 good crop of berries that 

 are good enough in quality 

 for the home table and 

 firm enough to make an 

 excellent shipping berry. 

 It is excellent to use in 

 extending the season, as it 

 is very late. 



Orem. Another good 

 late variety, which bears 

 large, firm berries which 

 commence to ripen with 

 the Gandy and lasts until 

 after Gandy is gone. Its 

 rich red color, prominent 

 yellow seeds and dark

green caps make it very attractive. 



Parsons' Beauty. Originated near Par- 



sonsburg, Maryland. It is very productive and 



of good quality. It is not firm enough to ship 



to distant markets, but seems to be a 



favorite in some sections as a local 



market berry. 



Paul Jones. A variety that is very popular 

 with some growers. Plants are very pro- 

 ductive and the berries are of large size and 

 brilliant color. In addition to its other good 

 qualities, it is highly recommended as a berry 

 that will keep a long time in good condition.
