very large, heart shape and very uniform, beautiful and attractive. Flesh red when 
fully ripe, an excellent canner and a most desirable .shipper. The variety has a per- 
fect blossom and is wonderfully productive. Mr. Dornan states that it will stand 
up and pick for from four to five weeks and produce twice as manj' cases per acre as 
any other variety. Season medium to late. We wish to say we have grown and 
tested over 200 named varieties besides other hundreds of unnamed seedlings, and 
we consider the Uncle Jim the finest of them all.” Per Dozen, ^oc; 2^, 4£c; 100,

Dewey. (I’er. ) Originated on the grounds of James Nimon of Texas, and 
introduced in 1901, by E. W. Wooster of Maine. Mr. Nimon is the Originator of 
the Parker Earle strawberry. The plants are large and healthy, free from ru.st, and 
one of the finest growers on our place. 
Mr. Wooster says: It is a seedling of the Haverland with the Parker Earle; but 
is larger than either; a long, beautiful, glossy scarlet, very symmetrical, firm, giving 
every evidence of a good carrier; cjuality better than the Haverland, and most ex- 
tremely productive It has the longest roots of any variety, running down deep af- 
ter moisture and out in search of food, thus enabling it to well stand the dryest sea- 
sons, both in runner making and fruit producing, in fact, the most extremely dry 
season of last year did not seem to effect its fruiting or runner making cpialities in 
the least, which so effected nearly all the other varieties to a greater or less extent. 
I have the greatest faith in it of any new variety that I have ever tested up to the 
present, and believe it has a most extremely brilliant future, which will spread from 
Maine to Texas, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Every fruit grower should 
not delay to procure at least a few of these plants, as soon as possible, and there is 
no danger, I believe, in planting largely of them. I shall take chances (which I 
consider no chance at all) and plant largely of them for fruiting on next season. I 
will say further that the wonderful Sample by the side of it la.st season, under exact- 
ly the same treatment, did not yield half as much fruit, nor was it so large or beauti- 
ful in appearance, and far behind it in firmne.ss and quality. This variety outyield- 
ed all others with ns the past season. Per Dozen, joc; ay, 45c; 100, $1 .00. 
Varieties that are Better Known. 
Well Tested Kinds. 
Palmer. (Per.) From New jersey. Claimed to be the best extra early ber- 
ry ever introduced. The plants are large, make plenty of runners and have a light 
green foliage. They send up from two to four fruit stalks to each plant, all of them 
well filled with large perfect blossoms. We regret to say on account of their earli- 
ness, the severe frost in May killed nearly all the blossoms, so it was impossible to 
judge in regard to the size ot the fruit or the productiveness of the berry. The 
flesh, however, is firm, red all through, sweet, and of a rich pineapple flavor. Per 
Dozen, 20c; too, 60c; rooo, 
Hero. (Per.) From Arkansas. This is one of the new varieties that has 
come to stay. I fruited it last year, and am much pleased with it. The plants are 
large in size, no rust, a good average grower, and very productive. It is a .seedling 
of the Haverland, crossed by Vanlleman. 
Berries large, firm, best quality, and of a light crimson in color. It ripens all 
over at once, and is a good shipper. No strawberry grower will make a mistake, in 
getting a start in this variety. Season reckoned early. Per Dozen, 2or loo 6or 
'000, $3.50. 
Downing’s Bride, (imp.) This variety was sent out several years 
ago as a premium, as "No. looo.” One of the finest varieties in our collection. It 
is a good grower, the plants being large, healthy and productive. The fruit is very
