\/ Fendall. The berries are large in size, rather light in j 

 v color and with large, attractive green caps. Blossoms 

 are imperfect and should be planted with Big Joe, Ekey, 

 or Magic Gem. Fendall, like Haverland, is unable to . 

 hold the great bunches of fruit off the ground and 

 should be well mulched on this account. Price $8 per 

 thousand. 



First duality. Especially recommended for New Eng- i 

 land and other northern states. Berries are large and | 

 pointed, somewhat like the Haverland, altho a little 

 darker in color and better in quality than this variety. 

 Plants are very vigorous and very healthy. Blossoms 

 are perfect, strong pollenizer, making it good to plant 

 with Hustler, Sample, Haverland and other imperfect 

 flowering varieties of its season. Price $8 per thousand. 

 Gibson. Berries are large, beautiful dark red in color. 

 Plants very productive. Bear through a long season. 

 Blossoms are perfect and good for pollenizing Sample, 

 Haverland, etc. Both plants and fruit closely resembles 

 Parson's Beauty. We fruited Gibson this year, but did i 

 not have any Parson's Beauty, so we could not make | 

 exact comparison. We believe it is the same, but we are | 

 not sure yet. Both varieties produce a great quantity , 

 of berries that are dark in color and part easy from the : 

 cap, or hulls, which makes them ideal for canning, jam j 

 and preserves. Price $8 per thousand. 



Good Luck. The fruit is large and ripens a few days 

 ahead of Gandy. In shape it is conical to wedge shape. I 

 The plant is a strong grower and in many respects sim- 

 ilar to Stevens Late Champion, though considered by I 

 many a better variety. Recommended by N. Y. Experi- I 

 ment Station. Price $12 per thousand. 



Hustler. A vigorous grower,, making a few large, 

 strong plants, rather than many small ones. The fruit , 

 is uniformly large in size and firm enough to ship to dist- 

 ant market. The berries are rich scarlet in color, and ex- . 

 cellent in quality. The blossoms are imperfect and should 

 be planted with some perfect flowering variety. Wei 

 recommend Big Joe, Ekey and Magic Gem as being 

 especially valuable to plant with Hustler. Price $12 per 

 thousand. 

 i^ Late Jersey Giant. Berries very large, almost perfectly) 

 round. Highly colored and of good quality. Not very pro- 

 ductive, but for fancy specimen berries for show purposes 

 it is rarely equaled. Price $12 per thousand. 



McALPIN. A very vigorous grower that should be kepi 

 thinned for best results. The berries are medium to large 

 in size, brilliant scarlet in color and unexcelled in quality 

 After a heavy rain in fruiting time the McAlpin will have 

 less sand and dirt on the berries than any variety W( 

 know and this is especially important, where mulching 

 materials are scarce and hard to get. Its excellent qual- 

 ity makes the McAlpin a good one for the home, or loca 

 market, as well as for shipping purposes. McAlpin wil 

 grow on any kind of soil. It is beautiful in appearance 

 / and unsurpassed in quality. Price $8 per thousand. 

 ^ Sample. The berries are a perfect strawberry type 

 bright red in color, large in size, delicious in flavor an< 

 very attractive in l^pearance. It is very productive am 

 quite firm, which makes it possible to ship the fruit ti 

 distant market. The blossoms are imperfect and must b 

 planted with some staminate variety, such as Gibsor 

 Big Joe, Ekey, or Magic Gem. It is a hardy variety 

 which makes it popular both north and south. Price $ 

 per thousand. 



Sharpless. Berries large, handsome in appearance an 

 excellent in quality. An old favorite. Especially for th 

 garden. Price $10 per thousand.

Westmoreland Co., Pa., Aug. 30, 191! 

 Thinking you might be interested in the failures o 

 success of your customers I am writing you of my sue 

 cess as results of the 3000 strawberry plants I bought c J 

 you the spring of 1918. These 3000 plants were Premie i 

 Big Joe, Chesapeake, and Progressive. From 23 row 

 in which they were planted I picked 4848 qts. of berrie 

 which sold for $1,342. My patch was 100 ft. wide and 32 

 ft. long, lss than % of an acre. In regard to the valu 

 of the Premier you do not sing its praises half hig ! 

 enough. Picked the first Premier June 4 and the la! 

 picking June 30. Size of the berries held up to the las 

 Biggest money maker of the lot. — C. H. Colburn.
