Klondyke 



This berrv has made a great success. It is one of the best shippers and commands the top prices in the 

 market, frequently bringing a premium over other varieties, owing in a great measure to its large size and 

 unusual firmness. 

 Blossoms are per- 

 fect. Plant makes 

 a vigorous growth 

 and produces a 

 good crop. Klon- 

 dyke is being 

 planted more and 

 more largely in 

 the semi-tropical 

 sections, and is 

 also planted in all 

 sections of the 

 country. I think 

 I would be safe in 

 saying that there 

 are a thousand 

 acres of Klondyke 

 growing for mar- 

 ket within fifteen 

 miles of Salisbury. 

 If you want a 







M 



Klondyke. Often brings a premium over other sorts 



good berry that will bring the top price in market, 

 and will ship anywhere, do not hesitate to plant 

 this variety — it will please your customers, bring 

 more trade, and increase your profits. 



Governor Fort. Sent out by T. C. Kevitt, who 

 describes it as follows: "Kevitt's phenomenal seed- 

 ling Strawberry of high 

 rank, or improved Glen 

 Mary. It is the result of 

 a cross between Glen 



Mary and Sample. The berries take after Sample 

 in shape and color. In flavor and productiveness 

 it resembles Glen Mary." I have been striving hard 

 and strenuously for a number of years to obtain a 

 Strawberry with the same generative fruit-pro- 

 ducing power as the Glen Mary, and to eliminate 

 the objectionable white tips. Governor Fort is 

 coreless and rich in flavor, berries literally melt in 

 your mouth. The plants grow enormous clusters of 

 berries, individual stems often producing eight to 



ten perfectly 

 shaped berries. 

 I have now 

 fruited this 

 one time, only 

 in a very small 

 way, and think 

 it gives prom- 

 ise of being a 

 valuable va- 

 riety; I cannot 

 say whether it 

 will be a good 

 shipping sort 

 or not, but for 

 the home-gar- 

 den it seems 

 desirable. 



First Quality. Eagerly 

 sought after as a fancy fruit 

 (see page 10).

Heritage. Berries uniformly large, 



beautiful in shape, splendid in color, 



with delicious flavor. It is medium, 



firm, and makes a big yield. The 



blossoms are perfect, and the berry 



has a rich green cap which adds very 



much to its appearance and market 



value. Originated in New r 



Jersey, where there was so 



much said about it that I 



bought quite a few plants on 



the start and put it in stock 



three years ago, but have 



seldom had plants enough to 



supply the demand. This 



year I am very well supplied 



with a lot of extra-good plants 



and hope to be able to take 



care of my customers for this 



great favorite.
