STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
All of our pot-grown plants are strong and well rooted, 
being grown in two and one- ha If inch pots, and are 
shipped in the pots in which they are grown, thereby 
insuring safe shipment, the roots undisturbed, allowing 
them to be transplanted to the best advantage. 
Pot-grown Strawberry Plants are usually ready for de- 
livery after August 1st but sometimes later, according to 
the season. 
Strawberries when planted during August will produce a 
fine growth during late Summer and early Fall which will 
insure a good crop the following Summer. 
The varieties indicated by the letter “P” are the pistillate 
sorts, and should be planted among other perfeet-fiowering 
kinds; this may be best effected by planting every other 
or every second row of the latter sort, thereby allowing the 
pistillate varieties to become pollenized. 
Layer plants are ready for delivery about May 1. 
“DeLUE’S JUDITH” (New Variety) 
This new early seedling was awarded the Silver Medal 
by the Mass. Horticultural Society in 1915 and three first 
prizes in open competition at the annual show of the same 
society in 1917. The past summer it was ripe June 6th 
and was the first native berry shipped into Boston and 
brought the highest price that a berry ever brought at 
wholesale in the Boston market (.$1.00 per box), w’hile the 
best of the New Jersey, New York, and Maryland berries 
were selling at 35 and 40 cents. 
The “DeLue’s Judith” is a perfect blossom variety. 
Tt is very large and carries its size well throughout 
the whole season, making it one of the most valuable for 
the home garden. The color is deep red all through and 
quite glossy. It is of good form and has no superior 
for flavor; is very smooth in texture and without core. 
Its firmness and fine appearance makes it a fine shipping 
berry for market gardeners. Price, each, 40c.; per doz., 
$54.00; per 100, $25.00.

flesh is a rich red and very juicy. 
BELMONT. (Late.) One of the standard varieties and 
always reliable, and without exception the berry whose 
flavor has not been excelled. Fruit is of medium size, 
firm and heavy; the color a deep, rich red, shading light 
at the centre. As to its keeping qualities it is without 
doubt the best. An excellent sort for market purposes 
and home use; its lateness in ripening is a decided ad- 
vantage, especially when grown for preserving.

growers for its quality as a shipper. Color blood red; 
round; yields very large crops of finest quality berries.

origin and one which has a long fruiting season ; it is 
probably as large as any berry at the present time and 
fully as productive. Its color is that dark crimson so

juiciness. Plants are particularly strong in growth. 
EXCELSIOR. (Extra Early.) One of the earliest berries 
in existence; unusually productive owing to its early

ity, large size and productiveness, and one that meets 
all requirements for home and market use. Usually the 
last berries picked are as large as the first. The color 
which is a deep glossy crimson is very attractive; the 
fruit is firm and solid and of excellent flavor. 
GOLDEN GATE. (Midseason.) This variety is a particu- 
larly strong grower and very heavily rooted, bearing 
large stems and thick foliage; the flower stems are 
quite erect, producing large, strong blossoms, making an 
exceptional sort for planting with the pistillate sorts for 
pollenizing. Fruit is a rich crimson, rarely showing 
fruit with green tips. 
MARSHALL. (Midseasou.) Undoubtedly the best straw- 
berry for home use and one of the best as an exhibition 
berry, usually taking a prize wherever exhibited. The

one greatly admired, being a rich, glossy crimson, with 
this deep color running nearly to the center, while the

who have grown this berry that it is ahead of anything 
they had ever grown. The fruit is borne in large clus- 
ters while the individual berries are of extra large size.
