WM. BELT. For a long time, Wm. Belt was the stand- 

 ard of quality — now it shares honors with the Chesapeake 



and McAlpin. Wm. 

 Belt berries are large 

 in size and somewhat 

 irregular in shape. 

 This variety is indis- 

 pensable and it takes 

 the lead whenever 

 quality is the import- 

 ant consideration. 

 "Wm. Belt is at its 

 best in the middle 

 and northern states 

 and in many sections 

 it is the only variety 

 wanted for home use 

 or nearby market. 

 The berries are large 

 and of a bright, 

 glossy color. When 

 once tasted, these 

 berries will sell 

 themselves. Our 

 Wm. Belt. plants of this variety 



are fine, and we believe those in the market, who want 

 something of highest quality for home use, or local mar- 

 ket can do no better than to plant some of our Wm. Belt. 

 Price $8 per thousand. 



VERY LATE VARIETIES 

 GANDY. One of the best known of all strawberries. 

 For best results, it should be planted in black-swamp 

 land, or in springy land with some clay in its makeup. 

 Never plant Gandy in dry, sandy soil. Gandy has been 

 and still is a great favorite on the market. It is not a 

 heavy producer, but the berries it does produce are uni- 

 formly large in size, brilliant red in color and have a 

 large, bright green cap, which makes the berries very 

 beautiful and attractive. Price $6 per thousand. We 

 noticed in some of the northern markets, Gandy quoted 

 at 25c to 40c per quart wholesale, nearly all season, 

 bringing more than almost any other varieties quoted. 

 This fact is going to make a big demand for Gandy, 

 and if you want some of this variety, get your order 

 placed early. Price $8 per thousand. 



. KELLOGG'S PRIZE. The berries are large and beauti- 

 fully formed. They are firm in texture, which makes 

 them good for shipping. Kellogg's Prize is one of the 

 most productive very late varieties we have ever seen 

 and it holds to size well until the end of the season. We 

 believe it is fully as good as Sample, but a little larger, 

 a little more productive and considerably later. Those 

 who know and like Sample will do well to include some 

 Kellogg's Prize to extend their season. The blossoms are 

 imperfect and should be planted with some variety like 

 McAlpin, Wm. Belt, or Gandy. Mr. Francis N. Stacey of 

 Maryland says, "The Kellogg's Prize and Magic Gem were 

 the best plants I ever saw. Strong, clean, vigorous, they 

 demonstrate the point made in your recent letter, namely: 

 'There is a reason why some plants cost more than 

 others'." You will like this variety. Price $8 per thous- 

 and.
