HAVEKLAND (Imp.). This is mid-season 
producer and has more competition as such 
than either the earlier or the late varieties, con- 
sequently when it is said that the Haverland is 
a profit producing variety it means a great deal 
in its favor. The plants are healthy, vigorous 
and large, producing ample runners, and is a 
product of recognized ability. It is an ex- 
tremely hardy variety and so productive that 
the stenis are unable to hold the fruit from the 
grour.d. This makes mulching desirable, and 
that would assist to rapid handling at picking 
time. It is one of the old varieties that have 
always stood well. 
HELEN DAVIS (Per.) One of the newer 
kinds and a very promising sort. A most pro- 
ductive variety of unusually large berries of 
crimson color all the way through. Has some- 
what the appearance of Barton's Eclipse, both 
in foliage and fruit. It makes a nice row of 
plants, bound to meet with general favor. We 
have a fine lot of plants which are true to name. 
KELLOGG'S PRIZE. This is a pistillate va- 
riety and is claimed to cover a long season. 
We sold every plant last year before we were 
aware of it, and had none to fruit. The origin- 
ator describes is as follows: "Kellogg's Prize 
continued to bear a little later than the Sample 
and Steven's 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 Strawberries 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 
color extending to the center; flavor delicious, 
the cap is ample and in harmony with the size 
of the berries. 
KLONDYKE (Per.) This berry has made 
a great success; it is one of the best shippers, 
and commands the top price in the market, fre- 
quently bringing a premium over other varie- 
ties owing in a great measure to its large size 
and unusual firmness; blossoms are perfect, 
plants making a vigorous growth and produc- 
ing a good crop. It does particularly well in 
the Southern berry growing section and is not 
a very general success in the North. It seems 
to belong to regions far from the source of its 
name; it seems to like warm sections best. 
MARSHALL (Per.) A very large and hand- 
some berry and one which responds to strong 
soil and thorough cultivation remarkably. It 
needs plenty of manure. Marshall will not 
stand neglect. The fruit is excellent in every 
way, and when given the proper soil and treat- 
ment, it gives large crops of fancy fruit. 
OHIO BOY (Per.) Originated in Ohio by 
A. A. Kppert, an expert Strawberry grower. Of 
fine color and very productive. A combination 
of good qualities. Mr. Eppert claims that this 
berry is as near perfection as a Strawberry 
can be. The plants show great vitality and are 
extra large, with long roots. They should be 
planted a little farther apart than usual, es- 
pecially if the soil is rich. Three by four feet 
is about right. It will be to your interest to 
get a start with this, a berry of large size, very 
productive, firm, of high quality and color. The 
new plants that grow the first year often have 
berries on them a few months after being set out. 
POCOMOKE (Per.) From the standpoint of 
a commercial grower, this comes very near 
being a perfect variety. It is a healthy, lux- 
uriant cTower, making plenty of runners, and 
is an abundant bearer of large, firm, bright red 
berries. Never misshapen and holds up in size 
better than a great many varieties. It is a su- 
perior berry in every way. Very popular as a 
canning berry. Need;; no petting and will pro- 
duce large crops under reasonably good cul- 
ture. The Pocomoke will grow more quarts of 
large, fine, firm, rich colored berries to the acre 
than any sort we have tested in years. It 
should be in every man's garden; the house- 
wife likes it for canning; it will grow on any 
soil that will grow a crop of wheat, corn or 
potatoes. Were we confined to a few varieties 
our choice would be Dunlap or Pocomoke. It 
is one of the very best varietes for shipping, 
carries better than nine-tenths of the berries 
to be found in the markets. Wherever known 
it is highly prized. On good soil it grows an 
immense amount of fruit. It is quite immune 
from spring frosts, and if you once plant Poco- 
moke we are sure you will like it, for tlie plant 
is healthy and strong, and we have dug them 
where the roots were 15 inches long. We have 
an exceptionally fine lot of plants this year. 
S.\MPLE (Imp.) Season very late. The 
Sample Strawberry is admired by everyone 
who has seen it. Berry is of large size and fine 
quality, quite firm; continues a long time in 
fruit; the berries are large to the last. It will 
yield as many berries as the Haverland, and 
will average as large as the Bubach. Colors all 
over at once. Foliage perfect, fruit perfect. 
Needs no petting. Sample is one of our best 
late strawberries, and you will like them. Our 
stock is large this year. 
SENATOR DUNLAP (Per.) This is the best 
all-around berry before the American public 
today. It is a hardy plant, has a long fiowering 
season, resists drought, dark red color, very 
productive, has large round berries of perfect 
shape; mid-season to early. Plant Senator 
Dunlap. We recommend it. It does well every- 
where and produces enormous crops of fine 
fruit regularly. Senator Dunlap is of the War- 
tield type, has a perfect blossom, is hardy, 
productive, a splendid keeper, a very heavy 
bearer of good size, evenly shaped fruit of a 
very beautiful dark red color; its fiavor is 
delicious. For caniiin.7 it is fine, making a 
rich red syrup. It is a tlrst-class shipper, and 
retains its brightness long after being picked. 
It looks well on the market and sells at top 
prices. The best proof we have that th4s 
berry is a money maker everywhere is the 
fact that our customers in nearly every state 
in the Union are ordering Senator Dunlap in 
large quantities every year. Order early.
