Highland;?. (Female) 
EARLY. Pistillate. This variety i s 
famous for its very large yields of ber- 
ries. In general its characteristics are 
much lilte those of the Crescent, only 
that the fruit of the Highland is some- 
what larger. The fruit is conical in 
shape with an obtuse point. In color it 
is a bright scarlet, and the flesh is red 
throughout. It is popular with commer- 
cial growers where markets are not too 
far distant from the fields. This varietv 
during a three-year test at the Ohio 
Agricultural Experiment Station proved 
itself to be the most prolific bearer out 
of 146 varieties tested at the same time 
on the grounds of the station. To grow- 
ers, therefore, who sell their fruit with- 
in reasonable distance from their fields 
the Highland will prove most profitable. 
Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
Sample, P. (Female) 
LATE. Pistillate. During the seven- 
teen years we have offered Sample to our 
patrons there has developed a steadily 
increasing demand for this fine pistillate, 
and it is safe to say that there are few 
varieties that have made larger profits 
for their growers than the Sample. Or 
perfect strawberry type, dark-red in col- 
or, very large in size, delicious in flavor, 
the friiit is most attractive. To these 
high qualities are added unusual pro- 
lificness and firmness that renders it 
possible to ship the fruit to far distant 
markets. Another fine quality for tlu 
market grower is the fact that Samiile 
doesn't ripen its fruit all at once, but 
yields a certain percentage of fruit each 
day from the beginning to the end of 
the season. No strawberry grower but 
will find this variety ideal in every way. 
Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
EARLY. Bisexual. Wolverton is a va- 
riety that has a host of friends, and we 
note each year that there is an increas- 
ing number of those who call for this 
old-time favorite. This is the twenty- 
third year we have offered Wolverton to 
our customers, which of itself is proof 
of its capacity to please. Crimson in 
color, of ideal strawberry form, it is 
most attractive to the eye and never 
fails to win custom. But as attractive 
as it is to the eye, its delicious flavor 
makes it equally attractive to the palale. 
It is one of the richest berries grown and 
its fine-grained flesh and mild flavor of 
unusual delicacy make it universally pop- 
ular. After our long experience we do 
not hesitate to pronounce it one of the 
greatest all-around berries ever propa- 
gated. 
Grown at Three Rivers and Twin Falls. 
just as full of berries as they can he and. indeed, are a beauti- 
ful sight to see. Parlies passing- by have to stop and take 
notice." W. E. Tomlinson.

your plants in this locality, and I consider there is nothing 
better in strawberries than those produced from your stock.

Ohio 
Eaton, February 19, 1912. "Glen Mary and Parsons' 
Beauty set together have given me the largest crops and 
finest berries of any varieties I ever set. The plants 1 received 
from you last spring were the finest I ever saw. They were 
so large I thought you had made a mistake and put 50 plants 
in each bunch." Whitfield M. Button. 
Cincinnati, Feb 6, 1912. "Have been buying your straw- 
berry plants for several years past. Last year I certainly had 
strawberries in quantities for our own use, to eat and to can. 
and to sell to the neighbors. I received 25c a quart or all 
that I sold." J.S.White. 
Dorset Julv2. 1912. "In the spring of 1911 you sent me 
an ideal setting-Longfellow, Haverland, and Senator Dunlap. 
I set them out the 10th of May ; never lost one plant out of 600 
This year 1 have picked over 640 quarts of berries and we had 
the coldest winter in fifteen years." Mrs. J. W. Spencer.

Fairfax April 17, 1912. "We ordered strawberry plants 
from you several years ago, and they certainly were the finest 
we ever had." Mrs. L. A. Wismeyer. 
Pennsylvania 
Curwensville, May 13, 1912. "Last spring I planted the 75 
Wm Belt and Glen Mary strawberry plants you sent me. 1 
have at this writing 226 as fine strawberry plants in full bloom 
as one would wish to see. They are the pride of the town, and 
I doubt if anything in your field excels them." 
Burton Sipes. 
Erie May 8, 1912. "The plants I bought from you in the 
spring of 19il did very well last year, but late in the fall I be- 
came ill, and as a result the plants were not covered except 
by th» snow. We gave them up, but this spring after the 
weather opened up they began to show life, and you ought to 
see them now ! Out of 260 plants 1 lost only 18 ! I guess that 
shows something, for this last winter was the coldest winter 
we have had in many a year." Chester A. Pleadwell. 
Flicksville, Januarv 19. 1912. "I have bought plants from 
you for several years and have had good crops of fruit from 
them every year. I am growing the Bubach, New York and 
Gandy varieties." F^oyd Ackerman. 
Taylor Sept. 16, 1912. "I want to tell you of the remark- 
able success I have had with the plants I purchased from you 
last spring They are the most vigorous plants that I ever 
saw and they are now one foot high and very bushy. Out of 
the entire number I lost only five plants. I must tell you that 
these plants started under very disadvantageous circumst^rn- 
ces. for they were not planted until three weeks after they 
arrived, owing to the fact that 1 was ill. But 1 followed your 
instructions very closely and earnestly, and now I have one 
of the finest first-season growths of plants that it is possible 
to secure. Please accept my thanks for the selection, which 
you will rpmemher 1 left entirely to you. 
"A very well satisfied customer."

I ordered from you last year are fine. 1 wish to put out an- 
other bed when mine are through bearing."

nice plants." Frank V. Elgin.

plot of your plants for home use for six people. Those I have

Gorman, April 20, 1912. "The strawberry plants you 
shipped us reached us in two days of time, and we set them 
out the same day. They are fine and already have started to 
grow They have now been set out three days and they are
