WILLIAM BELT 



A Tennessee variety that has made many friends 

 in all parts of the country and is rapidly gaining 

 popularity. And well it may, for it is so sweet it can 

 be enjoyed without sugar, an abundant bearer of 

 large, beautiful berries for a very long season — from 

 early mid-season until the latest — and is remarkably 

 firm. The color is deep crimson throughout. The 

 texture is so meaty and the surface so strong it can 

 be kept long after picked and shipped a greater dis- 

 tance in good condition, than almost any other 

 variety. 



U. S. KING EDWARD 

 r 



A prominent strawberry grower of Massachu- 

 setts says: "It is the rich man's berry, poor man's 

 berry, lazy man's berry and the market man's 

 berry. If one wishes to grow the largest number of 

 quarts to the acre and has to sell at low prices, this 

 is the berry to grow every time. It is not one of 

 those large coarse, over-large berries, but of uni- 

 form size throughout the season; indeed, every 

 berry looks as though they were all run in the same 

 mould. They are a very attractive light scarlet 

 color. . . The plant is a strong staminate variety 

 and is just loaded with fruit. Quarts, quarts, 

 quarts; as thick as cultivated Cranberries. It is a 

 mortgage lifter. Unfortunately, there are two 

 Strawberries by this name, King Edward. One 

 originated in England and the best one in America. 

 You want the U. S. King Edward because it is the 

 best. Ripens in mid-season." 



Of all the Strawberries grown in the United States, 

 this variety doubtless excels in popularity to-day; 

 and well it may, for it is a superb sort. The plant 

 is vigorous, though not a rampant grower, succeeds 

 upon almost all soils, invariably yields very heavily 

 and the berries are always of large size and high 

 quality. Its flesh is solid and deep crimson in color, 

 while the blossoms are large with abundance of pol- 

 len. It begins to ripen quite early and continues 

 until almost the close of the season; the last berries 

 being large, handsome and full-flavored. Indeed, it 

 is a king among Strawberries, as it is firm and among 

 the largest — many of the berries being of great size — 

 and gives large pickings for a longer period than al- 

 most any other variety.

Ashtabula Co., Ohio, Aug. 26, 1913. 



We received the pot-grown Strawberry plants 

 last Saturday; they came in fine condition and I 

 want to thank you for your liberality. I was so 

 surprised to receive so many for the money and such 

 fine plants; I have never sent to your firm but 

 what everything came true to name and in fine 

 shape. I shall certainly recommend vou to my 

 friends. M. S. REXROTH.

Nassau Co., N. Y., Aug. 11. 1913. 



The berries, Gandy and Early Ozark, which I 

 secured from you, did splendidly; not a plant lost, 

 and the yield very staisfactory.
