STRAWBERRIES—Continued 
SAMPLE. ( Imperfect.) Medium late. Extensively 
planted throughout the entire North, Middle and 
Western States; is not worth planting south of 
Virginia on account of rust. Fruit is very large 
and well made up, firm enough for long distance 
shipments. 
SOUTHLAND. ( Perjecl.) Originated by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. The Southland 
(U. S. D. A. No. 44) Strawberry originated from a 
cross of Ettersburg 80 x Howard 17 made in 1920 
in the greenhouse at Washington, D. C., and has 
been planted by the Department in many sections 
of the country in an experimental way, and found 
to be a profitable variety—particularly true for 
the Southern States. It is notable in the South for 
the green appearance of its foliage in the Winter, 
and it makes a more vigorous growth during the 
short days and the cold weather of Winter than 
any other sorts tested, because it grows through¬ 
out the Winter in the South. Whenever the tem¬ 
peratures are high enough its fruit buds continue 
to develop, and it is one of the earliest to bloom 
and to mature fruit early in the Spring. The blos¬ 
soms are perfect and contain more pollen than 
most of the other varieties. We consider Southland 
next to Dorsett and Fairfax. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. (Perfect.) Early midseason. 
A reliable market berry. One that succeeds in all 
parts of the country, and is the most extensively 
planted variety in many sections of the West. 
Very productive. Fruit is medium to large; very 
firm and attractive. Always sells for top prices. 
SUCCESS. (Perfect.) Midseason. A very good one 
to plant for home use, or local markets. Fruit is 
large to extra large, bright scarlet color; flavor is 
mild, sweet and rich. 
TENNESSEE PROLIFIC. (Perfect.) Midseason. 
A well known standard variety. Like Parsons’ 
Beauty, succeeds over a great extent of the coun¬ 
try. Fruit is very large, bright red, ordinarily 
firm. One of the heaviest croppers we know. 
UNCLE JIM. Same as New York. 
WARFIELD. (Imperfect.) A grand old variety 
which was one of the leaders of the early varieties 
in the good old days gone by. Ripens early. Fruit 
medium size, very firm. 
Southland 
WASHINGTON. (Perfect.) This variety makes a 
very good plant growth, starting early in the 
Spring and remaining vigorous and healthy until 
after Blooming time. Produces a large crop of 
berries of good quality many of them being of 
fairly large size. 
WM. BELT. (Perfect.) Midseason to late. Pro¬ 
duces a large berry of extraordinary beauty and 
quality. Has been the leading berry for table use 
in thousands of homes for many years and still 
grows in demand. It is one of the best pollenizers 
for imperfect sorts of its season. 
Fall or Srerbearing 
Strawberries 
CHAMPION. (Perfect.) A very good everbearing 
variety. Produces plants moderately and fruit in 
abundance. Resembles Progressive very much. 
LUCKY STRIKE. (Perfect.) A fairly heavy bearer; 
berries good quality and appearance; not a very 
vigorous grower. Well worth trying but a very 
light Spring fruiter. 
MASTODON. (Perfect.) The most extensively 
planted variety of Everbearing Strawberry plants 
at this time. Fruit is very large size, waxy appear¬ 
ance. Plants also very large and healthy. Foliage 
dark, glossy green, and produces fruit throughout 
the entire Summer and Fall months. 
PROGRESSIVE. (Perfect.) A wonderful Fall¬ 
bearing Strawberry and considered the best by 
many growers. The Spring-set plants not only 
produce a big crop of berries the same season, 
but the runner plants begin to bear fruit as soon 
as set, and quite often you will find a runner plant 
full of blossoms and berries before it has made 
Fallbearing Strawberry, Mastodon any roots.
