TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



LADY 

 CORNEILLE 



Originated in 

 Poncha toula, 

 Louisiana, and is 

 said to be better 

 than Klondyke.The 

 plant is a bushy, 

 strong grower, with 

 large, dark green 

 leaves and makes 

 plants freely. Blos- 

 soms perfect. The 

 berry is large, con- 

 ical in shape, uni- 

 form in size, and 

 holds out large un- 

 til the end of the 

 season. The fruit 

 is of a rich, dark 

 red, covered with 

 huge golden seeds 

 which stand out 

 prominently, and 

 give ample proof 

 of its firmness and 

 ability to withstand 

 long-distance ship- 

 ments. It is vig- 

 orous and seems to 

 succeed on almost 

 any soil; the yield 

 is said to be enor- 

 mous, much heavier 



than the Klondyke. Henry Morton & Co., com- 

 mission merchants of Chicago, who have sold the 

 fruit, speak very highly of it and quote it higher 

 than other varieties. It is claimed that Mrs. 

 Corneille, the originator, has been offered $6,000 

 for the control of this variety. We have been 

 hearing many flattering reports of the Lady 

 Corneille for several years, but have not put it 

 in stock before, owing to the fact that it was 

 under restrictions which we would not tolerate. 

 We have a very nice stock of plants now, however, 

 and shall be pleased to furnish our many customers.

LADY THOMPSON. This variety has been so 

 extensively grown it hardly seems necessary to say 

 much about it. For many years it was practically

Longfellow. An exceedingly promising sort 



the only variety grown in the great Strawberry 

 section of North Carolina. It makes strong, vigor- 

 ous, healthy plants that produce large crops of 

 medium-large, handsome, firm and well-shaped 

 berries. 



LEA. A strong, sturdy grower, without a spot 

 of rust or other defect in its foliage. Blossoms per- 

 fect, ripening evenly; while productive, uniformly 

 large in size. Southern growers who have tried it 

 speak in the highest terms of its value as a market 

 berry. The originator says: "It is the best thing I 

 have in the Strawberry line. Lea sold with Bubach, 

 and will stand more rainy weather and keep in 

 better condition than any berry I ever grew." 



LONGFELLOW. This is a berry that we con- 

 sider an exceedingly valuable addition 

 to our list, and re- 

 commend it as a 

 good all-round berry. 

 It ripens medium 

 early, has perfect 

 blossoms and is very 

 productive. Long- 

 conical in shape, 

 highly colored and 

 makes a vigorous, 

 healthy growth. You 

 will find it a good, 

 reliable and safe va- 

 riety to plant.
