The Warfield being pistillate requires a pollenizer, and the Dunlap is the very best 
for this purpose. 
Wm. Belt. P. — Midseason. A native of southern Ohio, and named for its origi- 
nator, now deceased. For fourteen years this has been before the public, and almost 
from the first it took rank as the best of all in flavor. It is also superior in beauty, size, 
and productiveness. The color is bright red. The first berry to ripen on each stem 
is cockscombed, but the others are conical. The plant is grand, and the foliage 
abundant and healthy. There was a time when it was subject to rust in some 
localities, but we have heard nothing of it lately. 
Wonder. P. — Late. Produced by S. A. Sampsel of Sandusky County, Ohio. It 
is of the same type as Armstrong, Corsican, Uncle Jim and others, — a giant in plant 
and fruit, red and juicy and every way desirable. 
Woolverton. P. — Medium to very late. Originated by the late John I/ittle of 
Canada. Introduced by M. Crawford in 1891, and we give a few sentences from his 
catalog of that date: The Woolverton is a luxuriant grower, remaining green and 
healthy all summer, sending out a good number of runners and bearing abundantly. 
It continues in bloom a long time. The fruit is very large, and resembles Bubach, 
except that the first and largest berry on the stem is often more irregular. The color 
is a brilliant red and the quality is good. 
Wooster. P. — Midseason. Discovered on the farm of E. W. Wooster, in Maine, 
in 1904. Supposed to be a seedling of Clyde and Sample. Mr. Wooster observed 
that the plants were tall and upright with long fruit stems which were borne to the 
ground with their load of fine fruit. The berries resembled Sample in form and 
color, but were more like Clyde in the way the seeds were set. It surpassed both in 
flavor. 
Everbearing Strawberries. 
Our last year's catalog made mention of these, and assuming that our readers 
will want to hear more, we gladly give another season's experience. We wish to 
make it plain that these new berries are not of the class called "fall bearing," but 
as their general name implies they yield fruit all through the summer and autumn, 
and freeze up loaded with berries at last. 
Mr. H. Rockhill, of Iowa, is the originator of this new marvel in strawberries, 
and it took him about twelve years to attain the end for which he was laboring. We 
stated a year ago that we expected to grow plants for Mr. Rockhill last season to 
supply the trade this spring, and that arrangement was carried out. He sent us 
plants of ten varieties last spring. The ground was too wet for planting when they 
came, and they were heeled in and left in this temporary bed until they were in full 
bloom. After cutting off the blossoms the plants were set out in rows three and 
one-half feet apart, and eighteen inches apart in the row. The soil was a clayey loam 
of moderate fertility. A few plants of each variety were allowed to bear all they 
would, but the main bed was differently treated. Its blossoms were cut four times 
in June and July. A moderate amount of a complete fertilizer was applied, and it 
was cultivated and hoed the same as our other beds. 
Now, as to behavior: The plants from which the blossoms were not cut fruited 
continuously from June until the latter part of November, and were a wonder in 
growth and yield, even surpassing those that we had tested the previous year, and 
on which we reported in last season's catalog. 
Early in August the main bed came into bloom for the sixth time, and the rows 
were white, as they are in May. From that date the fruit was allowed to ripen. 
The most of the plants had been making runners all summer. About the first of 
September the berries commenced to ripen, and the bed continued in bearing for
