VIRGINIA. 
This is no doubt the best extra early variety on the market. At its home 
in Accomac County, Va , the past unfavorable season it produced 12,000 quarts 
to the acre, and sold in the Philadelphia market for double the price of other 
extra early berries, such as Excelsior and Mitchel’s Early. The Virginia is 
firm enough to make a good shipper, and being uniformly large for an early 
berry, with a bright, glossy red color, it can be depended upon to bring top- 
notch prices in any market where quality is appreciated. If I were going to 
plant 50 acres of some extra early variety, I should plant one-half or three- 
fourths Virginia, just enough of some perfect flowering variety to pollenize it. 
This berry won the One Hundred Dollar ($.00.00) gold prize which I 
offered in 1905 for one dozen plants of the best unintroduced new variety, and 
not one anywhere near approached the Virginia. A number of persons who 
saw this trial plot, were asked which one was entitled to the prize, and every 
one pointed out the Virginia. It is indeed an extraordinary berry, and one that 
I look forward to becoming as popular as the Glen Mary, which I introduced 10 
years ago, and is to-day among the popular six in almost every report. The 
Virginia is a cross between the Hoffman and Sharpless. The Virginia is an 
extra strong, healthy plant, and one that will please everybody, both in plant 
growth and in fruit. 
Our prices for 1907 are 40 cents per dozen; $1.75 per lOOby mail postpaid. $1.50 
per 100; $3.50 per 500; $6.00 per 1000, and $25.00 per 5000 by express, receiver to 
pay charges. 
CARDINAL. 
This new variety has already become known throughout the greater part of 
the country. All reports of it so far have been very favorable and satisfactory 
indeed. It is one of the strongest plant growers that has ever come to my notice. 
East season I made 12,000 plants from 75 plants, they were all large, strong, and 
vigorous. The fruit is handsome and large, and the color is a beautiful cardinal, 
as you will see by the colored plate. By referring to my catalogue you will find 
comment on the Cardinal by Mr. Crawford and Mr. Streator, the originator, and 
Mr. A. W. Clark, a prominent grower of Rhode Island. I could give numerous 
testimonials of this variety, but have not the space here. I have no doubt, how¬ 
ever, that every strawberry grower is already posted on this variety, as it has 
been widely advertised by Templin & Co., the introducers. 
The Cardinal has never been sold to my knowledge for less than $4.00 or 
$5.00 per 100 until this Spring. I now have a splendid stock of plants that are 
very fine. 
My price for 1907 will be 25 cents per dozen; $1.05 per 100 by mail postpaid. 
80 cents per 100; $2.75 per 500; $5.00 per 1000, and $20.00 per 5000, receiver to 
pay charges. 
GLEN MARY. 
Too well known to need much comment from me here. I introduced this 
variety just 1 0 years ago this Spring, and to-day it is one of the most popular 
of all varieties throughout New England and the West, from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific. Many growers consider it their leading variety. For further descrip¬ 
tion, see catalogue.
