STRAWBERRIES—Continued 
BELLMAR. (Perfect.) Originated by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. The, Bellmar (U. S. 
D. A. No. 655) Strawberry originated from a cross 
of Missionary x Howard 17 (Premier) made in 
1923 at the U. S. Plant Field Station near Glenn 
Dale, Md., and has been planted in many sections 
of the 7 country since its origin. These plantings 
being made to give it thorough tests, and it has 
proven to be a very promising berry for the north¬ 
ern sections of the United States, also does exceed¬ 
ingly well in many sections of the South—more 
particularly adapted to the northeastern half of 
the country, because Bellmar is suggested for con¬ 
ditions under which the Howard 17 succeeds and 
has shown a number of points of superiority over 
that variety; therefore, it is recommended to grow¬ 
ers all over the country who have been successful 
with Howard 17 (Premier). The plants are much 
more vigorous and produce runners much more 
freely than is the case with Howard 17, and are 
almost immune from the common leaf spot ( Myco - 
sphaerella fragariae) also leaf scorch ( Diplccarpon 
earliana ), which are two wonderful points worth 
considering. Season of ripening is about the same 
as Missionary and Premier, in the East slightly 
earlier. In yield, in some instances, it has not 
compared with Blakemore; yet' the fruit is of a 
very rich red color and is of much larger size than 
Blakemore. In other words, it carries Premier’s 
size and productiveness and has Missionary’s 
shipping qualities. The blooms are perfect and 
contain about as much pollen as Premier, but not 
as much as Blakemore. 
BUBACH. (Perfect.) This is one of the old-time 
favorites. Plants make a good growth; foliage 
dark green, leathery type; produces an abun¬ 
dance of big red Berries of medium fir ness. 
Midseason. 
BRANDYWINE. (Perfect.) Medium late. Fruit 
extra large and very firm, good shipping qualities, 
a very heavy cropper, it is a standard variety the 
country over. More extensively planted in the 
tropical climates, bears a heavy crop of bo. 1 
fruit anywhere Strawberries will grow. You would 
like Brandywine. 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY. (Perfect.) The earliest 
variety on our list, plants healthy with a light 
green, waxy upright foliage. Berries beautiful, 
rich red, of large size, which ripen perfect all over 
with no green ends. A very good variety to plant 
for table use and local markets. No garden should 
be without them. 
CHESAPEAKE. (Perfect.) Late. Ripens a little 
earlier than Gandy. Has a beautiful appearance, 
extra large, even in shape and uniform in size. 
Plants are healthy, dark green in color, rich and 
vigorous, no rust, no disease; in fact, no weakness 
of any kind. This is a very good late variety, also, 
very well known and extensively planted wherever 
Strawberries are grown. This is one of the varie¬ 
ties that we can always recommend to be good. 
It requires lots of plants to take care of the orders 
we receive for Chesapeake, having grown it for 
several years, and have never yet had enough 
plants to fill all of our orders. It is extensively 
planted by many of the largest growers as well as 
for table use. 
COOPER. (Perfect.) Fruit very large, productive, 
and of good quality. Cooper produces its crop 
early in the season, and the flavor of the fruit is 
delicious. It is grown successfully in all soils and 
climates that will produce Strawberries. 
CORSICAN. Same as New York. 
DR. BURRILL. (Perfect.) Very similar to Senator 
Dunlap. Excellent for canning and very delicious 
for table use. The blossoms are perfect and its long 
blooming season makes it good for planting with 
imperfect flowering sorts. 
EARLY JERSEY GIANT. (Perfect.) Very early 
to ripen. Fruit of high quality. Color bright red 
and very large in size. Plants healthy, strong 
growers. One of the very best early varieties and 
in many sections it holds preference over all other 
varieties. Extensively planted. 
GIBSON. (Perfect.) Exactly the same as Parson’s 
Beauty. We can see no difference in growth of 
plants or fruit. 
GANDY. ( Perfect.) This is an excellent late variety 
of Strawberries and is grown here at Selbyville, 
Del., one of the largest Strawberry centers in the 
world, by thousands of acres. Probably no higher 
compliment could be paid to this variety than the 
fact that all other late varieties are compared with 
it. Does best in springy land with some clay in its 
make up. Fruit is extremely large and of fine 
flavor. We have known Gandy to be shipped 500 
miles in refrigerator cars and s+ill look better over 
fancy local berries grown nearby and brought in 
the market with the Gandy which has been 
shipped so far. The perfect shape of the berries 
and the large bright green caps make the berries 
very beautiful and attractive. Its great shipping 
qualities enable it to hold this beauty and attrac¬ 
tiveness until it gets to the market.
