 ■^ ^ Stra.'wberry^ St* Joseph, 



This new berry will create a 

 sensation among growers as soon 

 as its merits are known. It is of 

 excellent flavor, dark red in col- 

 or, large size and firm, but its 

 leading characteristic is its 

 strong tendency to bear two full 

 crops in a season. Indeed, its 

 tendency is to keep throwing up 

 flower stems from May to Au- 

 tumn, but for commercial pur- 

 poses it is better after taking ofif 

 the Spring crop to pinch off the 

 blossoms and you will get a 

 heavy Fall crop. T/ie plant is 

 vigo?-ous i?i every direction. Its 

 dark green, thick, tough leaves 

 resist disease. It makes runners 

 freely and is a great berry maker. 

 This'is an unusual combination. 

 10c. each ; 3 for 25c. ; 7 for 50c. 



1i^a^<:haJr Large, the first of 

 lyiS-rsnaU, the extra large 

 varieties to ripen, and al- 

 though of great size, the fruit is 

 rarely ever misshapen. The col- 

 or is a rich, glossy crimson. 35c. 

 doz.; 50 for 60c. 



^W^ Varieties marked (P) have 

 imperfect flowers ; they will not 

 produce well unless every fourth 

 or fifth row or plant is a perfect 

 flowering variety. Thus planted 

 the ( P) sorts are the most pro- 

 ductive.
