in bearing a long time, mid-season varietv. One of the verv best. Plants sold for

Pride of Delaware— ( Bisexual ) 
This is a late variety of our own origin. Originated in 1910. It was listed in 
our 1912 catalogue as an early variety, but through a mistake. It ripens with the 
Oandy some 3 or 4 days earlier and continues to bear as long as the Gandy . Fruit is 
ordinary large and roundish, conical, rarely misshaped, heavy bearer. Will bear 
extra heavy crops, if the weather be dry or wet. One of the deepest rooters. The 
foliage is tall and upright and has a dark green leaf. Fruit very solid and hand- 
some. 
Myers No. 1— [Bisexual] 
Originated in this county about six years ago by Mr. Harvey Myers, a large 
fruit grower of Bridgeville, Del. The berries begin to ripen with the Parsons and 
last as long as any other kind, always bringing good prices. This variety is very 
distinct in several particulars. It is of medium size, bright red color, perfect in 
form; no irregular berries. Will succeed either on high or low land. Vines ex- 
tremely vigorous and healthy. 
Duncan — [Bisexual] 
This is a very popular variety, ripening a little later than the Parson's Beauty, 
and from 5 to 8 days earlier than the Gandy, resembling the Gandy very much in 
both fruit and foliage. One of the greatest plant makers; should not be allowed 
to mat thick for best results. The berries are large and will stand up with the 
famous old Gandy as a shipper. Very popular. 
Missionary — [Bisexual] 
Recommended to us very highly from Virginia. For sure it is the leader there 
and is becoming very popular as a market sort here on this Peninsula. One of the 
greatest plant makers. Plants are niediuin size. Berries medium large and firm; 
one of the best for long shipments. This variety is recommended very highly by 
the most prominent produce merchants in New York City. Very popular. 
Early Hathway — [Bisexual] 
This is one of the best early varieties grown. We set very largely of'this variety 
for market purposes. It is very prolific, comes in bearing early and continues good size 
until all of its crop is produced. Fruit is large, uniform in size, dark red in color, 
firm and very easily picked, as with all early varieties it will succeed better on 
rather light soil.
