SAMPLE 
PAUL JONES. One of the most productive varieties on the entire list. 
On all soils, light or heavy, rich or poor, it brings the crop. It is a good, 
vigorous grower, making plenty of plants. It has an imnerfect blossom and 
should be planted with Big Joe, Aroma or Premier. Berries large, good 
appearance and ship well. If you want a good crop plant Paul Jone.s. 
SAMPLE. It is a beautiful grower, making just enough plants for an 
ideal fruiting bed; and for productiveness it is not excelled by anything. It 
is not likely that there is another sort that will bear more Quarts of berries 
than sample. They are of a beautiful bright red, firm enough to ship a reas¬ 
onable, distance, and the quality and appearance are good enough to bring top 
prices always. The season of ripening is medium, about the same as Aroma 
or Big Joe, and there is none that holds up better in size to the end of the 
season. Anyone wanting to plant main crop berries would do well to include 
Sample in their list. It is reliable, especially in Pennsylvania and the Middle 
West. Has an imperfect blossom and therefore must be planted near a per¬ 
fect blooming kind. 
WM. BELT. This has for many years been the standard of excellence 
so far a‘=' quality goes, and we do not know of any as yet that has taken its 
place. It is a fair grower, but sometimes rusts badly in late summer, and we 
do not get a good bed. The flavor is so delicious that there is alwayf5 a de¬ 
mand for more when it has once been placed on the market. It is moder¬ 
ately productive and ripens medium late. If you want quality Wm. Belt 
may be planted with confidence. 
Gentlemen: Orleans County, Vermont. 
Plants received and they look to me more like fresh dug plants than any 
plants that I have bought for years. If you can send me 200 Premier fresh 
dug from new bed with good white roots I should like them. 
I have had a few plants from your section that looked like plants from 
old fruitbed which I do not care for. Very truly yours, W. A. Sylvester,
