MIDSEASON VARIETIES 
BLACK BEAUTY (I)— A new berry of the so- 
called "Fig Type." Plant healthy and vigor- 
ous, making a good row. Berries large and 
smooth, very dark red, firm, sweet and rich. 
F. E. WILLARD (P)— An extra fine sort 
that is fast gaining wide popularity. The 
splendid plant growth, with its bright green 
foliage attracts attention, and the great crop 
of large, handsome, shining red berries among 
the foliage make a picture not lightly passed by. 
Do not overlook this splendid berry. 
FIRST QUALITY (P)— One of the most de- . 
sirable for the home garden. Makes an abund- 
ant plant growth and the great crop of beauti- 
ful, long pointed fruit is all the name indicates. 
GOLD MINE (P)— A new berry from the 
South for which great claims are made, and 
judging from its behavior with us during the 
past two years, these claims are justified. The 
splendid plant growth and big, handsome berries 
on the few plants allowed to fruit, stamp it as 
a winner. Give it a trial. 
GRAND PRIZE (P)— We are more than 
ever convinced that this great berry, which we 
introduced in 1915, is destined to become the 
leading commercial variety. Its magnificent, 
healthy plant growth, its perfect fruiting habit, 
and its immense crop of large, deep red, firm, 
meaty, high quality berries, place it easily at 
the head of the list. We have yet to receive 
the first unfavorable report on Grand Prize, 
while wc have many placing it ahead of all 
other kinds. We recommend all our customers 
to give Grand Prize a trial, believing that they 
will never regret it. 
GRAND marie! (P)— This is another fine 
new variety of "Fig Type." Makes a good row 
of strong, healthy plants which bear abundant- 
ly, large, beautiful, dark red, firm berries of ex- 
cellent quality. Try it. 
HELEN DAVIS (P)— A thoroughly tested 
variety of, great value, and one that will stand 
neglect better than most sorts. A great plant 
maker and always comes to the front with a 
great load of bright red, attractive berries of 
good size and quality. 
HERITAGE (P)— A strictly fancy sort from 
Maryland, of the Hundred Dollar type, but 
darker red and somewhat more acid, which 
makes it more desirable for canning. A valu- 
able new berry. 
HUB (P) — A new berry from Massachussetts, 
which shows valuable characteristics. Makes 
a fine stand of plants, and the berries are large, 
symetrical, firm, dark red, and of excellent 
quality. Give it a trial. 
ARNOUT— Is very papular 
(See description on page seven.) 
PARSON'S BEAUTY— Is of fine quality 
KING EDWARD (P)— This splendid 
sort is well deserving a place among 
our best standard kinds. It somewhat 
resembles Williams in plant and habit 
growth, but fruit colors more evenly 
and is of better quality. A variety of 
great value. 
LA BON (P)— This variety is noted 
for its remarkably long roots, which in 
dry soil penetrates to a depth of three 
or four feet, insuring against drought. 
Makes an abundance of strong healthy 
plants, and the very heavy crop of ber- 
ries are first class in every respect. 
NEW DISCOVERY . (P)— A most 
promoising new variety, which if it 
lives up to its appearance and the claims 
of its sponsers, is certainly somethiag 
above the ordinary. We were unable to 
save any plants for fruiting the past 
season.^but it is claimed to surpass Dun- 
lap in every respect. Try it. 
PARSONS BEAUTY (P)— This splen- 
did old favorite is too well known to 
require a lengthy description. In plant 
growth it is everything that can be de- 
sired and is very productive of large, 
perfectly formed, rich, red berries, which 
are first class cither for dessert or cann- 
The demand for plants increases year by
