Pride of Michigan, B. (Male.) 
MEDIUM TO LATE. Bisexual. In every 
respect a wonderful berry. Ripens its berries as 
late as Gandy and is as productive as Warfield. 
Has a long season of ripening. We pick fruit 
from this variety every day 
for from four to five weeks. 
The fruit is large, high-col- 
ored and rich-flavored, a trio 
of qualities that make it one 
of the most popular berries 
witli the grower and the con- 
suming public. Notice the 
shape of the berries — how it 
bulks large to the eye and 
fills the mouth with its aro- 
matic deliciousness. Few ber- 
ries combine the qualities of 
vigor, prolificness, size, beau- 
Pride of Michigan ty of form and richness of 
flavor to so marked a degree. 
The foliage of the plant is the heaviest of any 
variety in our list, and grows very tall and is 
upright, though it spreads out generously to 
cover the big berries that lie in great windrows. 
The fruit-stems are extra long and heavy, hold- 
ing up the berries well to the sun, and the 
umbr.igeous leaves are immense in size, fine in 
shape and are a dark, glossy green. As a pol- 
lenizer it is unexcelled. It may be grown either 
in single or double hedge rows, setting the 
plants twenty-four inches apart in the row, as it 
makes short runners This is our fifth year 
with the Pride and we are prouder of its splen- 
did qualities and fine performance than ever. 
Last year we had more than 400,000 plants of 
this variety and all of these were engaged weeks 
before tlie shipping season began. 
Dornan. B. (Male.) 
LATE. Bisexual. Few varieties possess so 
many strong points as the Dornan. Extra large 
in size, it is beautiful in color— a dark red oh 
the side up to the sun, shading down to a bright 
red on the other side. Seeds are 
red and yellow. Meat is thick 
and rich. Inside is deep pink, 
shading to almost white at center; 
smooth and velvety in texture, 
and entirely free from any gritty 
substance. Flavor is sweet, de- 
licious and mild. Foliage is dark 
green, of a waxy appearance; it 
grows very large and is vigorous 
and of upright habit. Blooms 
heavily and is a strong pollenizer 
for pistillates. One of the latest 
of berries, it has a long season of 
ripening, and is an excellent ship- 
per. The runners are short, and plants should 
be set as closely as twenty-four inches in the 
row, then layer the runners to form a sino-le- 
hedge row, which will give each hill ample 
room in which to spread the big foliage without 
shading the berries too much. This is the 
eighth season we have selected Dornans from 
tested and proved ancestors, and they appear to 
improve with the passing years. 
Sorry He Did Not Get More 
T^HE Pride of Michigan strawberry plants I 
i bought of you last spring are doing finely. 
Sorry I did not get more 'pedigree' plants " 
writes A. W. Clark of Providence, R. I., under 
date of July 16, 1906. Mr. Clark's letter is but 
one of man/ extolling the beautv, the richness 
and productiveness of the Pride of Michigan.
