and have plenty of fibrous roots full of vitality. Some of the stock for this spring shipment. 
MASCOT. (Perfect). Late. Begins ripening about 
three days after Gandy first begins ripening. Fruit 
is very firm, and as large as any we know of. We 
have extensively planted this variety for fruiting 
purposes. It is a good one and has come to stay. 
Bears big crops of big, firm, red berries. Extensive- 
ly planted in all strawberry section of the country. 
TENNESSEE PROI-IFIC. (Peifect). Mid- 
season. A well known standard variety. Like 
Parsons Ueauty. succeeds over a grieat ex- 
tent of the country. Fruit is veiT large, 
hiight red. ordinary firm. One of the lieav- 
est croppers we know. Plants are strong 
and vig-orous and will thrive in any soil 
that other varieties will grrow. 
GANDY.— (Imperfect). Late. For this sec- 
tion and many other .sections of the coun- 
try this is one of the liest late varieties 
Probably no hib'her compliment coukl bepa.d 
to this variety than the fact that all other 
late varieties are compared with It. tor 
best results It should be planted in black 
swampy land, well drained, or if this is not 
po.ssible, in springy land with some clay in 
ts make-up. this variety should "Ot be P ant- 
ed on high sandy land. Here at Selbyville 
Del the largest strawberry center in the 
uorid fuUv 3-4 of the plants grown areGan- 
dy and the growingr of this variety of straw - 
lierries has lifted more mortgages off farms 
than anv other crop planted. 1- ruit is ex- 
tremely large. Hne flavor. We have known 
Gandy to be shipped 4 00 miles and still look 
better over fancy local berries. '1 he perlect 
shape of the berries and the large bright 
green caps make the berries very beatitiful 
and attractive. Its gieat shipping nuallties 
enable it to hold this beauty and attracti\e- 
ness until It gets to market. 
EARLY JERSEY GIANT.— (Perfect. Med- 
ium early. Produced by Dr. Walter Van 
Fleet of New Jer.sey, and the best one of a 
number of the hybrids introduced by hirn. 
Fruit Is large, brilliant crimson, conical with 
nointed tips, which ripens evenly all over. 
Has large green caps which draws immed- 
iate attention. Th plants are strong grow- 
ers, with an abundance of long fibrous roots, 
which makes It a great drougth reslster. 
Fruit is firm enough to ship well. 
NEW YORK. — (Perfect). Mid-season. This 
is the strawberry that was awarded a prize 
of $100.00 which was offered for the best 
and largest berry on exhibition. Plants are 
large and healthy. Fruit extremely large, 
well colored. Noted for producing extra large 
crops of big red strawberries, on very poor 
soils. Bxtensivelv planted all over the north- 
ern section of this country for market pur- 
poses and family u.se. We doulit if there is 
a better mid-season variety for the northern 
states. This berry Is so popular it has been 
introduced under many different names. We 
have heard of some good reports of New 
York in the southern .sections of the coun- 
try, bu'. do not recommend plan Ing No v York 
south of Delaware and Maryland, fruit is not 
nrm In southern localities.

WM. BELT. (Perfect). Mide-Season to Late. 
Produces a large berry of extraordinary beauty 
and quality. The Wm. Belt is a variety of which 
many of the best table varieties are compared with 
as to quality. Has been the leading berry for table 
use in thousands of homes for many years and still 
grows in demand. This is an ideal strawberry for 
market gardeners as well as for home use. As to 
productiveness it is all that can be desired. Is one 
of the best pollenizers for imperfect sorts of its sea- 
son. Plants strong and make runners freely. It is 
a very heavy and abundant bearer of fine appearing 
fruit of the very best quality and we find it much 
superior to many of the more lauded new storts.
