Gibson (Parsons Beauty) 



E_,-;„ Ci.!.. A new variety intro- 

 mpire jrare duced m 1932 by a 



Michigan firm. The introducer says of it, 

 "Originated in New York State. Fruited here 

 two seasons. Produces the most perfect and 

 most magnificent berries we have ever seen. 

 It is a real knock-out. Hardy, easily grown, 

 easily picked, delicious and easily sold." We 

 have not fruited Empire State, but we have 

 plenty of fine plants for those who want to 

 try it. Price list, page 31. 



An old fa- 

 vorite in 



many strawberry growing sections. Plants 

 very productive, berries very good in quality 

 and excellent for canning. One proof of its 

 worth is the fact that it has been used so 

 much as a standard of comparison with so 

 jnany varieties which have been newly intro- 

 duced. Price list, page 31. 



N-^. Ynrk This is the sweetest straw- 

 CW I UIK. berry grown. The plant 

 is a vigorous grower, producing a moderate 

 number of large, healthy plants. The berries 

 are medium to large in size, dark red in color 

 but only moderately firm in texture. New 

 York is a home garden berry. It is the only 

 strawberry we know of that is sweet before it 

 gets red. We have many calls for New York 



Haverland 



from those whose health does not permit them 

 to eat berries which are in any way tart or 

 acid in quality. Price list, page 31. 



One of the best of the old, 

 standard varieties. Equal- 

 ed in productiveness among the older varieties 

 only by Premier, Big Late and a few others. 

 Blossoms are imperfect, and, as they are hardy, 

 makes it very desirable where late frosts are 

 likely. Big Joe, Senator Dunlap, Aberdeen, or 

 any good perfect blossoming, midseason vari- 

 ety can be used as pollenizers. Haverland is 

 largely grown by experienced growers. The 

 berries are of large size, long, conical in shape, 

 rather light in color and fairly firm if kept 

 picked closely and shipping distances are mod- 

 erate. Price list, page 31. 



Inclin'c Pri-re Offered by a New Jer- 



JOSIIli 5 I lIZc se y firm last year and 

 claimed by them to be similar to Lupton, but 

 they state it comes into bearing two or three 

 days earlier than Lupton, lasts two or three 

 days longer than Lupton, that the berries are 

 very solid and large and have a double cap 

 which makes them very attractive. They 

 stated also that the plants were more produc- 

 tive than Lupton. It seems well worth trying 

 wherever Lupton has been grown. Price list, 

 page 31. 



Li A fancy late shipping berry. Growers often make $500.00 per acre or more 



Up lOn from this excellent variety. It is grown for its own worth and also at times 

 where growers have trouble in getting a satisfactory bed of Chesapeake. It usually, though 

 not always, makes plants more freely than Chesapeake. Lupton is similar to Chesapeake in 

 many respects. The berries are just as large and like Chesapeake are 

 very attraitive in appearance. The quality is only fair, being milder and 

 Tather dry. As a fancy, large, late shipping berry Lupton stants very 

 close to Chesapeake. Lupton was grown first in New Jersey and the 

 extent to which it has been 

 spreading through Dela- 

 ware, Maryland, Pennsyl- 

 vania and other nearby 

 states is an indication of its 

 worth as a profit maker. 

 Lupton is also sold as Town 

 King, although if bought 

 under that name the plants 

 usually cost two or three 

 dollars more per thousand. 

 We have a fine stock of Lup- 

 ton plants and we know we 

 can please you with them.
