^1 1 We find this to be a mighty fine variety becom- 



r\D6rClC6n« ing very popular in eastern Pennsylvania and 

 New Jersey and will probably be widely planted when its merits 

 are better known. Makes a rank growth of strong, healthy plants, 

 so many in fact that unless planted 24 inches apart, in good soil, 

 thinning will be necessary to produce best results. Aberdeen is 

 very productive, equal to, and said by some growers, superior to 

 Premier. 



Fruit is medium to large, of conical shape, an attractive dark red, and 

 of very good quality. We cannot recommend this variety for distant ship- 

 ment in refrigerator cars but for markets within 300 miles it is a berry hard 

 to equal and is very profitable because of its hardiness, ability to fruit under 

 raost trying conditions, its unsurpassed productivenss and quality of fruit. 

 Fruiting period extends from two to three weeks. We have a good supply of 

 exceptionally strong plants of the Aberdeen to offer this year and would like 

 to have our customers try them for comparison with Premier and Big Joe. 



Likes Plants, Wants Catalog Next Year 



Dear Sirs: Fairfield Co., Conn., April 21, 1930. 



I received the strawberry plants, fine plants. Thanks for the prompt 

 shipment. I should like to get one of your catalogs again next year. 



Yours, George C. Bradley. 



AROMA. A wonderful late variety extensively planted in all sections 

 of the country, makes a vigorous plant growth, produces large crops of 

 beautiful, almost perfect shape berries, light red with a bright green cap 

 that are sure to bring good prices in your market whether you sell locally 

 or ship to distant markets for the fruit is very firm and will reach the market 

 in perfect condition. They are the most popular late berry grown in the 

 south and many of our old customers have found Aroma one of their best 

 money-makers. 



BRANDYWINE. A late variety that has been grown for many years 

 and has found many friends. A good plant maker and a heavy producer of 

 fine quality, dark red berries that are very firm and will stand shipment to 

 distant markets without damage, are also fine for the home garden and 

 local market. 



BIG LATE. The plant growth of this variety is very vigorous, produces 

 handsome uniform berries, bright red with yellow seeds and a medium size 

 green cap which make them very attractive. The blossoms are imperfect, 

 will mate well with Big Joe or Aroma. 



They are very heavy producers almost equal to Premier, are firm and 

 good shippers therefore we believe this will be a profitable berry to raise. 



COOPER. This variety was introduced by the A. R. Weston Co., who 

 praised it very highly and from our own experience it is very satisfactory. 

 Cooper is a very vigorous variety, making a moderate number of large, healthy 

 plants, although in some fertile soils will stand thinning for best results. 



This variety is very large, even larger than Premier, a very bright red, 

 and of excellent quality. A beautiful berry, fine for local or nearby market. 

 A variety that cannot be surpassed for the grower who has a local market 

 for large berries.
