AMERICUS (Per.) — Plant medium sized, foliage medium; a sliade lighter in 
color than Francis, has a good heavy root system, a fairly good plant maker, blos- 
soms strongly stanunate, fruit light red, heart shaped, of fine texture, good quality, 
half the size of Brandyvvine, fruit stems stout, holding fruit well off the ground, 
has fruited the past five years on spring set plants and new runners from July to 
cold weather. It is not uncommon for a spring set plant to produce from six to 
twelve well loaded fruit stalks. 
Price of Plarts— 6 for 75c; 12 for $1 50; 100 for $10.00. 
PAN-AMERICAN (Per.)— Will yield in the fall months bumper crops of straw- 
berries. It is just as persistent in bearing a crop of strawberries in the fall as other 
varieties are in the spring. All bloom stems nmst be picked off up to July 25th, 
after this let the blooms come, and three weeks later you can pick the first ripe 
strawberi ies, and the plants will continue to bloom and ripen fruit until cold 
weather. Price of Plants— 6 for 65c; 12 for JS1.25; 100 for $8.00. 
FRANCIS (Per). — Plants medium sized, foliage medium sized and round with 
a hard glossy surface, root system medium, fruit medium to large, rather long. A 
nice .glossy red, quality sweet and good. A fair plant maker, a strong staminate, 
fruit stems long and cannot hold its load of fruit from the ground. A sure variety 
to fruit on new plants. Spring set plants fruit from July till cold weather. Quite 
productive. Has fruited during the past si.x vears. 
Price of plants-6 for 75c; 12 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00. 
AUTUMN (Imp ) — This is another grand Fall Bearing Strawberry, if grown in 
the hill system. It will not bear fruit if you let it make runners. It has averaged 
over one pint of berries to each plant with me. During .August, September and 
October, the past two seasons, berries are about the size of Crescents It is a pis- 
tillate, and must be planted near some perfect bloonung fall variety. 
Price of plants— 6 for 35c; 12 for 70c; 100 for $3 00. 
TEDDY R. (Imp). — Fall bearing. A very large berry grower who has been 
growing fall bearing strawberries for several years, says this is by far the best one 
he has tried, and that he has made two hundred per cent more profit on this var- 
iety than on any other he has ever grown. It is a good plant maker, and will bear 
a large crop of berries and last until late frost in the fall. For best results Teddy 
R. should be grown in the hill svstem. It will not bear fruit if vou let it nuike 
runners. Price of plants— 6 for 35c; 12 for 70c; 100 for $3.00. 
A PRUNED PLANT. 
This illustration shows one of our plants 
when properly pruneti for best results. I pre- 
fer you do this especially wdien you receive 
plants late in the season. 
By doing so you will see that they will 
make a much more rapid and ((uicker start 
in .growin,g.
