KLONDYKE. Perfect blossom; vigorous grower; good crop of fruit; early; medium to large in size; 
- well-colored, with no green tips, and very firm. One of the best shippers, commands 
top price in market and frequently brings a premium over other varieties, owing in a great measure to 
its unusual firm¬ 
ness. The Klon¬ 
dyke is being 
planted more and 
more largely in 
the semi-tropical 
sections; it is also 
planted in all sec¬ 
tions of the coun¬ 
try. I think I 
would be safe in 
saying that there 
are a thousand 
acres of Klondyke 
growing for mar¬ 
ket within fifteen 
miles of Salisbury. 
If you want a 
good berry that 
will bring a top _ 
price in market Klondyke. If you want a good berry, plant Klondyke 
and ship any¬ 
where, do not hesitate to plant Klondyke. 20 cts. per doz., 30 cts. for 25, 40 cts. for 50, 60 cts. for 
100, $1 for 250, $1.60 for 500, $3 per 1,000. 
WILDWOOD. A valuable addition to the list of home berries. It is one of the rankest growers 
. r .,v . . ;. on the farm, having almost covered the ground the past summer, notwithstanding 
that through the principal growing season we were practically without rain. The berry is of medium 
size, of a bright scarlet color and has that much-admired flavor of a wild Strawberry. It is very produc¬ 
tive and a berry that I am sure will please every one who wants early berries for any other purpose than 
long shipment. It is too soft for long shipment, but first early for the home table or home market. This 
new Strawberry comes to us from Iowa. The name of this berry was suggested by its very delicious wild 
Strawberry flavor and the luxuriant growth of the plants. Your garden will not be complete without a 
few plants of this excellent variety. 25 cts. per doz., 40 cts. for 25, 60 cts. for 50, $1 per 100, $1.75 for 250, 
$3 for 500, $6 per 1,000. 
Jessie. We usually keep a few plants of Jessie 
in stock for our customers who refuse to give up 
this variety. Where the soil conditions are favor¬ 
able, the Jessie is an exceedingly fancy berry for 
either home use or market. It is very choice as to 
the soil in which it 
grows, however, and 
for this reason many 
people have not seen 
it at its best. Where 
it succeeds it is fine. 
Wildwood. 
July. This variety was planted by me for the 
first time last spring, and as yet I have not had an 
opportunity to fruit it. It has made an excellent 
growth of very strong, large plants, however, and 
the originator describes it thus: “Berries medium 
in size, good color and firm; very productive and 
later than Gandy, in fact, it is the latest berry we 
have ever grown and one we are well pleased with 
in every respect.” Blossoms imperfect. 
King Edward. This variety originated with 
D. J. Miller, of Ohio. The fruit is very large, good 
quality and moderately firm. The plants are 
strong growers, with large foliage, and bear 
freely. Mr. Miller says the King Edward 
has been well tested from 
the Atlantic to the Pacific, 
and has made a great record 
and, all things con¬ 
sidered, is the great¬ 
est berry he has 
ever grown. Mr. 
Miller is very en¬ 
thusiastic over his 
new berry and 
expects it to meet 
with great success. 
Here it is very fine, 
large and pro¬ 
ductive. 
The Strawberry 
plants I got of you 
this spring are doing 
fine.— J. C. Sain,
