Gardner E. Bunting, Grower of Fancy Fruiti, Seibyville, Del. 
Klondike — ( Pistillate. ) 
The season of 1911 still finds the Klondike the most popular of all early straw- 
berries. It is one of the best that can be grown. Good shipper, good size; good 
color, and sells at a stronger price than any other variety that enters the market 
during its ripening period. The Klondike has been extensively grown in the 
South for the past ten years, and is now proving the same results in the northern 
and Middle Western States. The fruit Brokers of Seibyville, Del., advised the 
strawberry growers to grow Klondike, for it has proved to be the ver>- best for 
marketing. The Klondike is a great plant maker, and for best results I would not 
advise you to let the plants mat thick in the fruiting beds. This is a good one to 
grow under hill culture. Uniform in size, from one end of the season to the other, 
vdth no small berries at the end of its long season. 
Sample — ( Pistillate ) . 
One of the most attractive of all the medium to late varieties; producing not 
only late berries, but immense quantities of them as well This extremelv large 
berry is bright red, the inner part being a deep scarlet. The Sample is pointed- 
shaped, its flavor is delicious, and the fruit very rich and juicy. The seeds turn 
red as the berries ripen, and so closely do they resemble the color of the berry as 
to be almost invisible. The stem and calyx are small, and remain a bright green 
for days after ths fruit has been picked. As f. shipper, few varieties excel the Sam- 
ple.
