TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

_ 
Uncle Jim. Another of the New York type. 
Originated by James Doman, of Michigan. It is 
said to be a chance seedling, and its parentage is 
not known. It is a good, reliable variety, and while 
it came from an entirely different source, I doubt 
if many growers could distinguish it from New 
York, either in plant or fruit. 
Virginia. Originated on the Eastern Shore of 
Virginia, from which state it takes its name. The 
plants make a good growth, with plenty of runners, 
which never show any rust. The foliage, while 
distinct, is similar to the Hoffman, but is larger 
and stronger. The Virginia is productive, of good- 
sized early berries. While it is not of the firmest, it 
is firm enough to make a good shipping berry, and 
being uniformly of good size and of a bright, glossy 
red color, it can be depended on to bring good 
prices in the market. It makes the best appear¬ 
ance in the crate of any medium-size berry that I 
know of. The originator claims to have produced 
12,000 quarts per acre. One grower from Idaho 
says: “The Virginia produced a great crop, so much 
so that I set out this fall all the plants I had.” 
A Vermont grower writes: “The Virginia and Mar¬ 
shall were the best of all for fancy prices.” 
Warfield. A well-known standard variety. A 
persistent plant-maker, and if not kept thinned 
out they will mat so thickly that it will be impos¬ 
sible for them to bear fruit of a desirable size, but 
if kept thin it is very productive, of medium-size, 
highly flavored and highly colored fruit. Very 
productive, midseason, and especially popular in 
the West. For syrups for canning, etc., it is espe¬ 
cially desirable on account of its high color. Our 
stock is excellent. 
Woolverton. Introduced by the Late John 
Little, of Ontario, Canada. I have fruited this 
variety for a number of years. It will succeed on 
almost any soil, but will do better on a sandy 
loam, where the soil is not too dry. The plants 
make a good growth, have perfect blossoms, 
which makes it an excellent pollenizing variety. 
It is no uncommon thing to see blooms and ripe 
berries on this variety at the same time. A good, 
reliable, standard variety. 
Climax. One of the best second-early sorts 
Plants Bear Firm Berries 
The Sample berry plants that you sent me were 
received in excellent condition, and the berries are 
large and fine; they look as if they were varnished, and 
are also very firm.— H. W. Reilly, Lancaster Co., Pa.

thanks.—C. Nesbitt, Quebec, Canada.
