AROMA, MALE OR BISEXUAL - LATE 
FOR several years the habitat of Aroma was limited to the Southwestern states, but during the last four or five years it has 
steadily grown in popularity over the country, and now it is recognized as one of those varieties which niay be grown with 
success almost universally. Aroma grows a very large berry and is very prolific of them The flavor of the fruit is deliciously 
aromatic, as its name suggests, and is very rich. The flesh is smooth and solid and very firm which explains its universal pop- 
ularity among the large commercial growers of the Southwest .When packed for market there are few varie^^^ 
in beauty and attractiveness, as the prominent yellow seeds heighten the effect of the bright red of the flesh of the berry. 
Aroma is a fine pollenizer for late pistillates, and both its blooming and picking season are unusually long. The foliage is 
smooth, deep green, of spreading habit and gives the sun a clear right of way to the crowns. This is the twenty-second year 
vJe haveofferfd Arima, and, as we have said, it is steadily advancing in popularity. Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
rooter. Longfellow is a perfect mate for Virginia. This is 
the seventh year we have been breeding this variety. Grown 
only at Three Rivers. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
Highland, P. (Female) 
EARLY. Pistillate. Highland is famous for its large yields 
of berries, which resemble very closely those of the Crescent, 
the fruit of Highland being somewhat larger, however. In 
color it is a bright scarlet, and the flesh is red throughout. 
We do not recommend this variety for long-distance shipping. 
This is the fourth year we have carried this variety on our 
lists. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Lovett, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. The fact that this is the twenty-second 
season we have oifered this old favorite should be a sufiicient 
indication of the esteem in which it is held. This variety pro- 
duces large berries, deep crimson in color, which for the most 
part are conical in shape. The flesh is a dark, rich red and 
very juicy. It is a great shipper, retaining form and color for 
many days after picking. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Bederwood, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. No higher tribute need be paid this va- 
riety than to say that this is the twenty-seventh year we have 
grown it, and that it steadily increases in popularity in nor- 
thern latitudes and in high altitudes. In color the berry is a 
delicate crimson, having a glossy surface, in which are em- 
bedded bright, yellow seeds. In size the berries are medium, 
and in addition to their excellent flavor are famous for fine 
shipping and canning qualities. It has a long blooming sea- 
son and is a strong fertilizer. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Clyde, B. (Male) 
EARLY TO LATE. Bisexual. For twenty years this varie- 
ty has been propagated on our farms, and its universal popu- 
larity is indicated by the fact that it has shown itself to be suc- 
cessful in all Northern states and from southern California to 
northern British Columbia on the Pacific Coast. Of late years 
it has become an especial favorite with the California trade, 
one very extensive grower in that state having adopted Clyde 
as his sole variety, after testing out more than fifty other va- 
rieties. It is a strong pollenizer of pistillate varieties. Grown 
on all our farms. 
Tennessee Prolific, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. One of the sweetest and most delicious 
berries ever originated, and as prolific as it is excellent. 
Medium large, bright crimson and. for the most part, long and 
corrugated in shape, the berries of the Tennessee present an 
inviting sight when neatly packed and placed upon sale. It is 
an excellent shipper and is equally popular as a canner. This 
is the twenty-sixth year we have offered this great variety. 
Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Wolverton, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. This variety has won a host of admirers 
during the twenty-four years we have offered it to our custo- 
mers, and there always is a steady demand for this variety in 
the sections where it is best known. Crimson in color, per- 
fect in form, it is very attractive to the eye, and its delicious 
flavor is pleasing to the palate. It is one of the richest berries 
grown. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Crescent, P. (Female) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Pistillate. For twenty-nine seasons we 
have offered this extraordinai-y pistillate to our customers, 
and the fact that its popularity never has waned is the high- 
est tribute we can pay to its general excellence. In size the 
berries are medium and the larger proportion of them are 
broad wedge-shape, tapering to a dull point. In color the 
fruit is excellent, the flesh is close-grained and solid, the flav- 
or is deliciously tart and the berry exceedingly juicy. Cres- 
cent ranks very high both as a shipper and canner and is a 
prime favorite for table use. You always may count upon 
large yields of fine fruit from this variety. Grown only at 
Three Rivers. 
Staples, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. This is the third season we have offered 
Staples to our customers, and it already has won high popu- 
larity. Resembling in some of its characteristics the old and 
popular Warfield, it has the added aiivantage of being a strong 
bisexual. It is of perfect-strawberry form, ranging from rich 
crimson to deep wine in color. Staples has what we may call 
the true strawberry flavor and is deliciously tart. One of our 
customers who ranks among the large commercial growers 
of the country has adopted Staples and Longfellow as the sole 
varieties grown for his trade. Grown only at Three Rivers. 
Jessie, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. Among growers who aim to produce 
fancy strawberries and who find their soil well adapted to its 
production, Jessie ranks among the leaders. Under right con- 
ditions it is one of the most satisfactory varieties produced by 
commercial glowers. It is an extremely heavy yielder of
