many in place of the Gandy. Foliage smooth, 
deep green, of spreading habit. The leaves are 
long, broad and clean. As a pollenizer for late 
pistillates it is unexcelled, and its picking sea; 
son is usually long, as the blooms begin to open 
medium early and continue until late. 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 popular berry in the South.

CHARLES THE FIRST. Charles 
the First has proven itself one of the 
very best early berries on the market, 
and the demand from those that have 
tried it is very large, and ofttimes it 
is the only early berry planted; it rip- 
ens with Michel Early, is very pro- 
ductive, yielding more quarts of fine, 
large, berries than any other early va- 
riety. It is a strong fertilizer, and very 
thrifty grower; berries are large, reg- 
ular in form, of good color and quality. 
Recommended by our most successful 
berry growers. We have reduced the 
, price on them, having grown a large 
\ stock.

t and still very popular with some grow- 
4 ers. A berry of fair size and flavor,

frosts; not very firm, still firm enough 
for near markets. Medium early.

ful large berry of excellent flavor, 
round as a dollar and nearly as big, 
firm, and a berry that should outclass 
all other varieties. Foliage erect and

seedling of Aroma and Excelsior.

late varieties with fruit growers all 
over the country. The f)lant is a strong 
grower, fruit is large and firm. Re- 
quires strong soil and fertilizers to do

dark red beauties, with prominent seeds of 
bright yellow; the meat is rich and juicy, crim- 
son in color. They are of high flavor. As a 
good firm shipper it is very popular; for fancy 
market there are few, if any, better, and for 
this reason it is popular with both the large 
and small grower. 
GIBSON (Per.) A wonderful Strawberry. 
Gibson commences to bear with Senator Dun- 
lap, Warfield, etc.; owing to its productiveness 
it continues till quite late, so we class it with 
our medium late varietirs. It is a very strong 
grower, with long roots that withstand dry 
weather, has plenty of dark green foliage to 
protect its enormous crop of fruit from the 
direct rays of the sun. 
The vines are loaded with berries. Tou 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 canriing berry 
and owing to its tough skin is one of the very 
best shipping varieties. 
Nearly round and regular. 
Fruit stems are plenty, strong and upright. 
This keeps the fruit out of the sand, where they 
are 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
