TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



FIRST-QUALITY. We consider this one of the 

 most promising new varieties of recent introduction. 

 It is eagerly sought after by growers who desire 

 large berries of fine quaHty. You will make no mis- 

 take in planting First-Quality, if you want some- 

 thing of fine flavor and appearance. We have 

 fruited it several times and find it all that the 

 introducer claims. The berries are large and 

 pointed, somewhat like the Haverland. It is a 

 great cropper, fairly uniform in shape and color. 

 There is something about the flavor that causes 

 you to want more. The plants are very vigorous 

 and healthy; one of the best growers on the farm. 



GANDY (Blaine). A standard variety by which 

 .-.11 other late varieties are com- 

 pared. Probably no higher com- 

 pliment could be paid to the va- 

 riety than this. It should be 

 planted in black swamp land, 

 or, if this is not possible, in 

 spring:^- land with some clay in 

 its makeup, but never plant 

 Gandy on dr>', sandy land. A 

 reliable old standby. 



GLEN MARY 



Originated in Pennsylvania and introduced 

 by our Mr. W. F. .Allen nineteen years ago. It 

 has since become one of the most popular of 

 the standard varieties, especially through New 

 England, the -Middle West and Northwest. 

 It has been one of the leading varieties in this vast 

 territory' for the last fifteen years. It makes large, 

 healthy plants, with dark green foliage; blossoms 

 are semi-staminate but carry enough pollen to fruit 

 its own berries. As a good, firm shipper, it is very 

 popular for fancy local market, and firm enough 

 for distant shipment ; for this reason it is popular 

 with both large and small growers. The fruit is big, 

 dark red, with prominent seeds of bright yellow; the 

 meat is rich and juicy, of such high flavor that once 

 eaten more is wanted. A \ew Jersey customer 

 says: "The Glen Mary is the only variety with 

 which I have ever made a success." Another cus- 

 tomer writes: "I have grown the Glen Mary for 

 several years, and it is my most profitable berr>;" 

 and still another informs us that he has found no other 

 plants to come up with Glen Mary. (See page 8.) 



This Sounds Good 



Would like to say my hedge of California Privet bought of 

 you is of the finest around here, and 

 among the few that successfully withstood 

 the verj' severe winter we had some two 

 years ago. — F. J. Fay,

Gandy, (^reduced one-half). A reliable old standby 



GOLD DOLLAR. We fruited this wonderful 

 new berry for the first time in 1912, and were highly 

 pleased with the immense crop of fine, uniform, lus- 

 cious berries. It is an especially healthy-growing 

 variety, with perfect blossoms, every one of which 

 comes to maturity. The fruit is above medium size, 

 very uniform and highly colored. (See page 9.) 



GOOD LUCK. The fruit is large, and ripens a 

 few days ahead of Gandy; in shape it is conical to 

 broad-conical and wedge-shape; a very strong 

 grower, and in many respects similar to Stevens' 

 Late Champion, though by some it is considered 

 a better variety. 



HANBACK BEAUTY. We have a large stock of 

 ver>' fine plants, but, after fruiting it the past season, 

 we pronounce it distinctly "no 

 good;" other growers report the 

 same opinion. We are, therefore, 

 not listing it.

After Reading This Let Us Have 



Your Order 



The 16,000 Dewberrj' plants arrived in 

 splendid condition. I have never seen 

 plants with better roots. The packing was 

 light, consistent with safety, and was well 

 done. I ordered 20,000 plants from two 

 other firms, but the plants and packing 

 were not so good. — G. L. Marvin,
