True-to-Name Strawberry Plants 



Bubach (Colossus) 



An old variety that is still a great favorite with 

 many growers. My stock of this grand old variety 

 is very fine. It has been grown by me for many- 

 years on land peculiarly adapted to the variety, 

 and notwithstanding I have heard complaints that 

 they could not get growth enough, I seldom fail 

 to get good wide beds from my stock of Bubach, 

 which I think is just about as good as the Bubach 

 was in its earlier days. It is nothing unusual for 

 the Bubach beds to be 2 feet across, with as fine, 

 healthy growth as you will find in almost any va- 

 riety in this section. The fact is that I have had 

 so much demand for this grand old berry that I 

 have kept it among my leaders, and only twice in 

 ten years have I failed to sell every plant that I had. 

 My present stock will exceed half a million, and I 

 doubt very* much if there will be a plant left. One 

 customer says: "My Bubachs were by far the 

 finest berries and brought the best prices." Another 

 says, "In my experience of Strawberry-growing for 

 fifteen years I have never seen anything equal to 

 Bubach." The illustration will give you a good idea 

 as to how the berries look and how they grow. I 

 have a very fine stock, and shall be pleased to have 

 your order for this variety and I am sure no one in 

 the business can give you better stock. Colossus 

 being so near like Bubach, if not identical with it, 

 I have discontinued offering Colossus as a separate 

 variety. See illustration on page 6. 



Cli 



1 m a x 



Plants of strong, vigorous, upright growth with 

 no signs of rust. Climax sprang into prominence 

 very fast after it was introduced, and its popu- 

 larity seems to hold on. The berry is second-early, 



Climax. Second-early; very productive 



very productive and holds on for a long season. The foliage is of light green, and can be distinguished from 

 other varieties for quite a distance. Climax has been planted over a wide range of territory and has given 

 general satisfaction. It is a berry no one need hesitate to plant. 



Clyde. An immensely productive variety, with fruit of large size. There is quite a demand for it, in 



spite of the fact that its foliage sometimes gives 

 way about fruiting time, and is not sufficient to 

 protect the immense crop of fruit. This, however, 

 can be guarded against to some extent by an appli- 

 cation of nitrate of soda in the spring before fruit- 

 ing. The Clyde has been largely grown in some 

 parts of Kentucky, and seems to have been a great 

 favorite with many growers, and even yet quite 

 a number are holding on to it and planting more. 



Columbia. My stock of this variety was re- 

 ceived last spring from M. Crawford, who describes 

 it as "late in season; plants healthy and prolific; 

 berries very large, light scarlet, glossy and of 

 excellent quality." Has not fruited here, but has 

 made an excellent growth of large, strong, healthy, 

 vigorous plants, and looks very promising. 



Commonwealth. Hails from Massachusetts, 

 and is a variety especially recommended for the 

 North and not for the South. I think it is a variety 

 more adapted to northern sections, and for best 

 results should be given rich soil and high culture. 

 It grows well here, and I find that it bears a good 

 quantity of fine, large berries. With intensive cul- 

 ture and rich soil it is very fine.

And I Thank You. Come Again 

 I received the plants you sent me in fine condition. 

 I thank you. J. L. Perham, Hillsboro Co., N. H.,
