Description of Varieties. 
WHEN reading descriptions of the many varieties of strawberries as given in- 
many nurserymen's catalogs, no doubt one would think there are no bad 
varieties, all are good ones, better and best. Writing descriptions is the 
nurseryman's hardest task, as there are some varieties that produce wonderfully 
in some sections of the country, and in other parts of the country they are not 
as good, thus it is very important that one should be familiar with the soil in 
which they are to be set, and with the variety before planting extensively of it. 
In such cases the nurseryman can be useful to you in helping you select the variety 
suitable for your soil. When writing descriptions we always make same as short 
as possible, and to the point. When possible we always advise where each variety 
is best adapted to the soils and climate in the many sections of the country. 
BRANDYWINE — (Perfect). Late. Fruit extra large and very firm, has 
unequaled shipping qualities. It is a standard variety the country over. Very 
productive. 
JOE JOHNSON, Big Joe — (Perfect). Late. Ripens with Chesapeake. Fruit 
is firm and of large size, lias a good flavor, no green tips, wonderfully productive; 
plants are strong growers, thrives on any soil that will produce strawberries. 
If you are not growing Joe Johnson, plant heavily of them this spring. 
EXCELSIOR — (Perfect). Extra early. One of the first to ripen, an old 
standard variety suitable to all sections of the country where strawberries can 
be grown 
KLONDIKE (Perfect). Medium early. Fruit large and very firm. One 
of the leading early varieties here at Selbyville, Del., the largest strawberry 
center in the world. 
MISSIONARY — (Perfect). Early. For the early market this variety is 
known as Queen while Klondike is King for the South. Both varieties are now 
being extensively planted all over the country. Fruit is large, firm and beauti- 
fully shaped. Very productive.
