Marshall, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. Marshall is a popular favor- 
ite from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the 
Gulf to British Columbia, and worthily so. It 
has received more first prizes in New England 
than any other variety, and it is just as much a 
favorite everywhere else because of its numer- 
ous qualities. It is of extraordinary size, it is 
beautiful in form, it is rich blood-red in color and 
has a delicious aromatic flavor peculiar to itself. 
It ranks as one of the richest berries on our list, 
the juice of this variety resembling a rich syrup, 
so heavy and sweet it is. For canning purposes 
it is excelled by few varieties, and with those 
who preserve their fruit in the sun it is a univer- 
sal favorite. The foliage is extra large, and the 
plant is an upright grower, has round leaves 
about one-half of which are dark green and the 
other half light. When in full fruit there is noth- 
ing more beautiful than a row of Marshalls. This 
is the sixteenth year we have propagated this 
great variety. 
my neighbors lost fully 90 per cent, of theirs."

Shell Lake, Feb. 18, 1909. "Last year I set 
out 3650 of your strawberry plants, and they grew 
finely though under very bad conditions. Your 
plants are the best I ever saw."

Genesee, Nov. 15, 1908. "There are no better 
plants on earth than yours. " Samuel Nelson. 
Nye, Jan. 28, 1909. "I purchased from you in 
the spring of 1907, 600 plants. I do not think I 
lost a single plant by reason of any defect in the 
plant itself, and last year (1908) I set out 500 of 
your pedigree plants, which did exceedingly well 
in spite of the extreme drought during the sum- 
mer. " Miss Minnie Vold.

Columbia Gardens, B. C. "I believe you have 
the best strawberry plants in America."

Williamsville, Ont., March 22, 1909. "I think 
there ai'e no plants like yours— 1200 quarts from 
1200 plants." C. E. HULL. 
Montreal, Que., May 6, 1909. "I have received 
in good order the box of strawberry plants. At 
the time of their coming and since we have had 
Rough Rider, B. (Male) 
LATE. Bisexual. The berries of this variety 
are medium large, of glossy crimson color, the 
crimson extending through to the center. The 
surface is made more beautiful by the prominent 
yellow seeds. The meat is juicy and rich. The 
illustration shows the form of the Rough Rider 
from which there is little variation. This variety 
is a good producer and enjoys the distinction of 
giving a better crop the second year than the 
first. The foliage is a dark green, of spreading 
habit and easily is controlled in the fruiting bed 
because it makes so few runners. We have care- 
fully selected this variety in our breeding bed for 
eleven years and its growing popularity is at- 
tested by the steadily increasing demand. 
pretty bad weather and it has been severely cold, 
but the plants were so finely packed that they 
did not sufi:er from these conditions." 
A. C. Papineau. 
Fort Erie, Ont., Jan. 19, 1909. "I received 
your plants on time and in the best of condition. 
You had them so securely packed that they looked 
as fresh as a plant just removed from bed to 
shipping room." Frederick S. Rose. 
Yahk, B. C, April 24, 1909. "The plants I 
ordered of you arrived safely, and seemed to be 
all alive and vigorous." A. L. Barnhardt. 
To British Columbia Customers 
w 
E are in receipt of the following notification 
from the Express Companies: 
"All charges for express to poir • ■! in British 
Columbia, Canada must be prepaid or guar- 
anteed. " 
In view of this ruling, we are compelled to ask 
those of our British Columbia patrons who wish 
their plants to come forward by express to in- 
clude in their remittance for plants a sufficient 
sum to cover express charges. The average 
charge for express on 1000 plants from Three 
Rivers to British Columbia points, is just about 
$3.00, and we suggest that this sum be added for 
each thousand plants ordered, it being understood 
that any excess remaining in our hands after pre- 
paying express which amounts to 10 cents or 
over, will be promptly remitted at shipping time.
