Chipman— ( Bisexual ) 
A mid-season variety of larjje size; fair- 
Iv solid; bright red color; quite regular 
in shape and good flavor. Vine a very 
strong and deep rooter, making very 
large plants; very clean and healthy, 
free from rust. This variety originated 
in this county a few years ago, and now 
it is popular over a wide e.\tent of terri- 
tory. I recommend this variety to all of 
my customers, both for table and market 
use. Give it good care, and it will bring 
the cash every time. No one will go far 
out of the way by planting this variet.\-, 
for either home or market. 
Lady Thompson — (Bisexual.) 
Lady Thompson is as perfect a strawberry in form as one would wish. In size 
the Jruit is medium large, the seeds are red. that gives to the fruit a fine glossy 
effect; the berry is solid and meaty, pink in color, and is deliciously rich in flavor. 
This variety is a deep rooter, keeps on growing through a severe drought; runners 
are long and abundant; the foliage is tall, grows upright, and has a light green 
leaf. It has been extensively grown in the Southern States for market, and is be 
coming very popular in the Middle to North and Western States. The demand for 
these plants last season was so great that we could not near fill the orders. 
Fairfield — (Bisexual.) 
The Fairfield is another splendid extra early variety, somewhat larger than tlu- 
Excelsior, and has far better eating qualities. This variety is becoming more pop- 
ular every season. There is getting to be a great demand for the plants; no grower 
will go out of the way in planting this variety for an early crop. I have been grow- 
ing this variety for market ever since its origination, and it has always given me 
splendid results. The Ohio Experimental Station puts it ahead of all other varie- 
ties. The quality of this berry is good; plants are strong and healthy; very much 
resembling the Haverland. I advise you to put some Fairfield in your order, as it 
is a good berry to plant either for home or market. 
Uncle Jim — ( Bisexual. ) 
Introduced by Messrs. Flansberg and Pierson, of Michigan, in 1902. Plants 
large, vigorous and healthy, long rooted, very productive; of large, fine firm ber- 
ries of good color and shape; mid-season to late. Here is another e.xtra choice 
large medium late variety, and that will prove satisfactory in nearly every State in 
the Union, and on most every kind of soil except light sand. Include some Uncle 
Jim in your order, because it is one of the very best for table use.
