obtuse point— a perfect strawberry form. Berries are medi- 
um large. Grown only on our Three Rivers farm. 
Splendid (B) Male

typical of the quality of fruit it produces. Large of size, 
round in shape, bright red in color, it is one of the most at- 
tractive varieties when placed on the market. Around the 
edges the fruit is bright-red, this color extending about one- 
thii d of the way to the center, when it changes to creamy

shape varies widely. The berries are large, the vines produce 
medium size crops of rich and delicately flavored fruit. Grown 
only on our Three Rivers farm. 
Clark's Seedling (B) Male 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. This variety is identical with the 
"Hood River." Its popularity is based primarily upon its 
extraordinary shipping qualities. Hundreds of carloads of 
this variety are shipped from the Pacific Coast to as far east 
as Chicago and arrive there in excellent condition. It is a 
heavy yielder of fruit and is a fine canner as well as shipper. 
The fruit is large, of perfect strawberry form for the most 
part, and where given ample sunshine and air always wins 
high favor. The foliage is medium large, dark-green with 
spreading habit. We do not advise Clark's Seedling for the 
Eastern states, but cannot rerommend it too highly for the 
Inter-Mountain and Pacific Coast sections. Grown only on 
our Twin Falls farm. 
Downing's Bride (P) Female 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Pistillate. This variety is singularly 
beautiful and fine in every way and growers who set largely 
of this variety place it in the front ranks on the score of 
beauty and general excellence. It is a very heavy yielder of 
fruil: of highest quality. This is the thirteenth year we have 
oftcrod this fine variety to our patrons. Grown only on Three 
Rivers farm. 
Parsons' Beauty (B) Male 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. This great variety is especially adapted 
to the higher altitudes and colder sections of the United 
States and Canada. One northern Michigan grower has for 
many years grown this variety in carload lots and finds it ideal 
in every way. The berries of this variety are bright red and 
are of mild and delicious flavor. This is the thirteenth season 
we have offered this variety to our customers. Grown on both 
our Three Rivers and Twin Falls farms. 
Klondike (B) Male 
MEDIUM. Bisexual. Of Southern origin the Klondike not 
only is very popular in the Southland but for several years it 
has been growing more and more popular in the Northern 
states. This variety is famous for its great yields of beautiful

flavor that is deliciously mild. This is the thirteenth year we 
have carried this variety in our lists. Grown only on our 
Three Rivers farm. 
Buster (P) Female 
MEDIUM. Pisillate. This variety is of Canadian origin, and 
throughout the northern states is approving itself as a variety 
of unusual value. Wherever it has been grown in the 
northern states and Canada it has won the approval of every- 
body. The fruit is fine and the crop yield is immense. This 
is the sixth year we have offered this variety to our customers, 
and with each succeeding year we set a larger acreage— 
a tribute to the quality of this variety that all strawberry 
growers will appreciate. Grown at our Three Rivers farm 
only. 
Jerome (B) Male 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. Growing rapidly in popularity 
throughout the Eastern states. Jerome also is becoming uni- 
versally popular in the Rocky Mountain regions. The berries 
of this variety are bright-red, rich in flavor, and are splendid 
shippers. Jerome also is a strong pollenizer of pistillate va- 
rieties, and these numerous and important qualities promise 
to make it one of the most famous and generally grown va- 
rieties in the regions indicated. Grown on our Three Rivers 
and Twin Falls farms. 
Enormous (P) Female 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Pistillate. Under just the right con- 
ditions of soil and climate this variety grows such very large 
berries as to have won the name given it so many years 
ago. Not only is the berry large, but it is of fine flavor, the 
meat is juicy and rich, and its crimson color makes it very at" 
tractive when placed upon the market. Grown only on our 
Three Rivers farm. 
NickOhmer (B) Male 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Bisexual. For many years a favorite 
throughout the Northern and Atlantic-Seaboard states, Nick 
Ohmer has during the last three years won almost universal 
popularity among the extensive strawberry growers of tho 
Pacific Coast. More than that, it now ranks among the first 
selections in the Gulf regions of the country. In a word, 
Nick Ohmer has become practically a universal favorite. 
Especially noted for its fine rich flavor, for its large, well- 
shaped berries and rich crimson color of its fruit, it isn't 
strange that this variety becomes immediately popular once 
it becomes known in a given locality. The foliage is quite as 
beautiful as the fruit. Grown on both our Three Rivers and 
Twin Falls farms. 
Late Varieties 
Brandywine (B) Male 
LATE. Bisexual. Brandywine belongs to the list of Uni- 
versal varieties that thrive under all sorts of conditions of soil 
and climate. Added to this extraordinary quality is its beauti- 
ful berry, in color deep blood red to the center, the surface 
being imbedded with bright, yellow seeds so prominent as to 
make a beautiful contrast in color. The fruit possesses a 
flavor peculiar to itself and attracts and holds customers year 
after year. The productivenea of this variety equals its at- 
tractiveness as to size and beauty, rendering it very popular 
with commercial gi-owers everywhere. Grown at both Three 
Rivers and Twin Palls farms. 
Magoon (B) Male 
LATE. Bisexual. This variety is particularly adapted to 
Pacific Coast and Inter-Mountain state conditions and is grown 
by us only on our farms at Twin Falls, Idaho. From the far 
western districts Magoon is shipped in carload lots to Chicago 
and other eastern markets after nearly all other varieties have 
quit fruiting. Magoon grows large berries of very rich flavor 
and bright red from circumference to center. It is found to 
be especially valuable in Oregon. Washington and British 
Columbia. 
Dornan (B) Male 
LATE. Bisexual. For fifteen years we have bred this great 
variety, which is especially appreciated for its sub-acid quality 
that renders it possible for the confirmed dyspeptic to freely 
partake of its fruit with impunity. In color the berries are
