W. F. ALLEN, SALISBURY, MARYLAND 
MASCOT. I offered this variety in 1910, but as I had never fruited it, could not say very much per- 
-- sonally as to its qualities. After fruiting it for two seasons I am prepared to say that it 
is one of the largest berries that we are growing. The berries are of a beautiful, glossy red color, good 
quality and productive. The plants make a healthy, strong growth, with plenty of plants. I see no reason 
why this would not become a popular standard variety. I picked a number of quarts where twenty-seven 
filled a basket heaping full. I do not know much about the history of this berry further than that it hails 
from Virginia and seems to be a strong competitor to the Gandy. It commences to ripen a few days earlier 
and continues to bear after the Gandy is gone. I would advise you not to fail to include this in your list. 
25 cts. per doz., 40 cts. for 25, 60 cts. for 50, $1 per 100, $1.75 for 250, $3 for 500, $5 per 1,000 
Governor Fort. A new one from New Jersey and 
introduced by T. C. Kevitt, who describes it as 
follows: “Kevitt’s phenomenal new seedling Straw¬ 
berry of high rank, or improved Glen Mary. It is 
a result of a cross between Glen Mary and Sample. 
The berries take after the Sample in shape and color; 
in flavor and productiveness it takes after Glen 
Mary. I have been striving hard and strenuously 
for a number of years to obtain a Strawberry with the 
same generative fruit-producing power as the Glen 
Mary and to eliminate the objectionable white 
tip. Governor Fort is coreless and rich in flavor; 
berries literally melt in your mouth. The plants 
grow enormous clusters of berries, individual 
stems often producing eight to ten perfectly shaped 
berries.” Mr. Kevitt was so positive of the good 
qualities of this berry that he offered to return 
all money paid for plants last season if they did 
not yield more fruit, grow better and ripen later 
than any other variety. 
Gray’s Dollar. Hails from Indiana. Has not 
fruited here yet, but has made a very vigorous 
growth of strong, healthy plants. It is described 
by the originator as follows: “Plant large and 
stocky, an excellent grower and free from rust; has 
a perfect blossom and its long vig¬ 
orous roots render it resistant of 
both drought and frost. Berries 
very large and perfectly even in 
shape and hold out well until the 
end of the season. As firm as 
Gandy and more productive.” 
Heritage. Berries uniform, 
large, beautiful in shape; splendid 
color; delicious flavor. It is me¬ 
dium firm and makes a big yield; 
blossoms are staminate, or perfect, 
and have a rich green cap, which 
adds very much to the appearance 
and market value. Originated in 
New Jersey, where there was so 
much good said about it that I 
bought quite a few plants and 
put it in stock a year or two ago. 
Gold Dollar. Vigorous, healthy growth, pro¬ 
ductive of medium to large, round, highly colored 
and highly flavored berries. Mr. W. T. Allen of 
Brownsville, Oregon, a grower of this variety, wrote 
us that “The plant bears early and the berries are 
large in size for so early a berry. As early as Michel’s 
Early and about the same size as Wilson’s Albany. 
Quite prolific.” 
Goldsboro. Perfect blossoms; foliage strong, vig¬ 
orous, thick, leathery and glossy. A good grower and 
productive of large, handsome fruit; very smooth 
and glossy; fine quality, especially recommended 
for home use or near market. A good, handsome 
berry that will make your mouth water for it and not 
disappoint you when you eat it. Too soft for dis¬ 
tant shipment. 
Governor Rollins. Originated in Massachu¬ 
setts by Benjamin H. Smith and named in honor 
of Governor Rollins of New Hampshire. The 
plants are medium size, making a healthy growth 
of thick, dark green leaves. The fruit is firm, large, 
perfect in shape, dark red in color and very fine 
quality, and holds up well until the last picking 
and matures all of its fruit. It is a productive and 
promising variety. 
Mascot. One of the largest berries that we grow 
Plants Full of Fruit 
The Strawberry plants that I 
got of you last spring are looking 
fine and full of fruit. I must say 
that everything that I have got 
from you has been strictly fine.— 
Richard White, Pulaski Co., Ill. 
Takes the Blame 
Plants arrived on Satur¬ 
day in good shape, and if 
they do not grow I will not 
blame you, as I consider 
them extra-fine plants, the 
best I have ever received.—

We Pack Plants Properly 
Plants arrived in good 
condition.— John McCor¬ 
mick.
