cious flavor. Ideal berry for long distance ship- 
ments.

in place of the Gandy. Foliage smooth, deep

lates it is unexcelled. The berries of this variety 
are very large, bright red. The flavor of the fruit 
is deliciously aromatic and very rich, the flesh is 
smooth and solid. A very popular berry in the 
South. 
CHARLES THE FIRST. Charles the First has 
proven itself one of the very best early berries on 
the market, yielding more quarts of fine, large 
berries than any other early variety. It is a 
strong fertilizer and very thrifty grower; berries 
are large, regular in form, of good color and qual- 
ity. Recommended by our most successful berry 
growers. We have reduced the price on them, hav- 
ing grown a large stock.

varieties for home use or market. It is a splendid 
grower, making a large number of strong runners. 
It has a perfect blossom, and is immensely pro- 
ductive. Fruit of good size, light red, medium 
firmness and good quality. One of the best to 
plant with early blooming pistillate varieties. 
CRESCENT (Imp.) An old variety and still 
very popular with some growers. A berry of 
fair size and flavor, productive. Good plant 
maker; one of the best berries to resist 
spring frosts; not very firm, still firm

large berry of excellent flavor, round as 
a dollar and nearly as big; firm, and a 
berry that should outclass all other vari- 
eties. Foliage erect and very attractive.

GANDY (Per.) One of the leading late 
varieties with fruit growers all over the 
country. Fruit is large and firm. Re- 
quires strong soil and fertilizers to do

berry. Gandy is always quoted at the 
highest.

inate. Berries are big, dark red beauties

KELLOGG'S PRIZE. This is a pistillate variety 
and is claimed to cover a long season. The origi- 
nator describes it as follows: "Kellogg's Prize 
continued to bear a little later than the Sample 
and Stevens' Late Champion, and was the last to 
be found on the vines. It was the remark of some 
of my customers that they did not know that straw- 
berries grew so large. If the public knew of the 
value of this variety the demand for plants could 
not be supplied." Very highly colored, with golden 
seeds, the rich coloring extending to the center; 
flavor delicious; the cap is ample and in harmony 
with the size of the berries. 
GIBSON (Per.) A wonderful Strawberry. Gibson 
commences to bear with Senator Dunlap, Warfield, 
etc.; owing to its productiveness it continues till 
quite late, so we class it with our medium late va- 
rieties. It is a very strong grower, with long roots 
that withstand dry weather; has plenty of dark 
green foliage to protect its enormous crops of fruit 
from the direct rays of the sun. 
The vines are loaded with berries. You will 
hardly understand how the plants can produce 
such quantities of fruit. 
Berry is extra large. One of our very largest 
strawberries. 
Beautiful dark glossy red. The flesh of the 
berry is red clear through. Calyx bright green, 
adding to its beauty and market value. 
Flavor fine; a perfect table and canning berry 
and owing to its tough skin is one of the very 
best shipping varieties. 
Nearly round and regular. 
Fruit stems strong and upright. This keeps the 
fruit clean and easy to find and pick. 
The Gibson has been grown extensively in this 
county for several years, and is one of the most 
profitable commercial strawberries in the great 
"Fruit Belt." Will produce 650 cases on an acre. 
Growers are setting Gibson in large lots. 
This berry is gaining every year in popularity, 
and has been miscalled by many who have cor- 
rupted the sound Gibson by giving it the name of 
Gypsies.
