Twilley. Fancy, large and firm 



Twilley 



Large size, well colored, and, what is very important to the commercial grower, it is exceedingly firm 

 — I believe it will equal in this respect any berry that has ever been produced. The eating quality also is 

 very good. Time of ripening, medium late. A good plant-maker, and I believe will give general satisfac- 

 tion to all who want a large, fancy, shipping berry. It is a persistent grower of strong, healthy plants, 

 almost covering the ground during the hottest and driest seasons, while many varieties in the same field 

 suffer severely. It was offered for the first time in my 1910 catalogue, and won the S200 prize offered by 

 me for one dozen Strawberry plants of the best unintroduced variety sent me during that season to be 

 fruited during 1909. If you want a splendid berry for shipping, plant the Twilley. 



Th 



ree 



Ws 



A very popular perfect-blooming, midseason variety. Plants large, stalky and amply able to produce 

 big crops. The foliage is a beautiful dark green in color and very attractive. The fruit is large, fine quality 

 and very productive, covering a long season from medium early to late, and is one of the best to plant 

 with pistillate varieties. It is quite firm and a good keeper. At the World's Fair it took first prize, and 

 made a record of keeping ten days. In 1905, after going through the freezes of April 15 and 16, while other 

 standard varieties produced only twenty-five per cent of a crop, Three W's gave a large yield. My stock 

 of plants of this variety for the coming season is exceptionally fine. 



Wm. Belt 



The standard for quality the country over. There are few lovers of Strawberries that would not cross 

 a plot and pick out Wm. Belt as one of the very best flavored. The demand for this variety has been much 

 greater for the past few years, and I have almost invariably been unable to fill late orders. I have a fine 

 stock for this season, however, and hope to be able to supply the demand. One customer from Washington 

 says, "The Wm. Belt and Chesapeake for flavor and good eating are dandies. I am going to run all my 

 patch to these two kinds. They stood the drought best and are in good shape now." Notwithstanding 

 Wm. Belt is somewhat subject to rust, its popularity seems to increase right along, owing no doubt to its 

 excellent qualities. I find, however, that it does not rust so badly now as it did a few years ago, and there 

 are few amateur growers who do not include this in their collection. For fancy market or home table it is 

 indispensable. I know of nothing that approaches it in quality except Chesapeake.
