THE BUTLER & JEWELL CO. 
OUR RETIRING LIST OF STRAWBERRIES. 
The following varieties we shall not grow after this season. 
Many of these varieties are not particularly faulty — in fact, some 
of them have been quite popular We discard them because there 
are better varieties for any purpose in the foregoing list, and we can 
offer no good excuse for perpetuating them. Price of any of them, 
25 cts. per doz., 40 cts. per 100, $1 50 per 1,000.
