Ekey—As Good as It Looks 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
Abington. An old standard. Berries large, good qual¬ 
ity; blossoms perfect. Prive $10 per thousand. 
Benson. Vigorous grower, blossoms perfect; very pro¬ 
ductive of large, scarlet red berries, which are excellent 
in quality. For the home-garden, or fancy local market 
it is a dandy. Price $8 per thousand. 
Bubach. A fancy old standard, especially popular with 
many growers in the middle and northern states. The 
blossoms are imperfect and should be planted with Big 
Joe, Dunlap, Ekey, Twilley or Magic Gem. Price $10 per 
thousand. 
BIG JOE. (Joe Johnson) (Joe). One of the most pop¬ 
ular shipping berries on nearly all large markets. It is 
a strong grower, making plenty of plants for a good 
fruiting bed. The berries are large, bright red and have 
large, light green caps, which makes the berries very at¬ 
tractive, and adds to the selling price. The quality is 
good and the berries are quite firm. It is a good shipper 
and equally good for fancy local market purposes. One 
of the most productive. One of the best to plant with 
heavy-bearing imperfect flowering varieties like Haver- 
land, Paul Jones, Big Late, Hustler, Sample, etc. Price 
$8 per thousand. 
EKEY. (O. I. C.) A vigorous growing variety that 
you can depend on to give a big crop. The berries re¬ 
semble in shape Haverland and Paul Jones, and is a 
good variety to plant with them. The berries are of good 
quality, and firm enough to ship, and the large bright 
green caps make it very attractive in appearance. We 
have used Ekey, planted with Paul Jones in our fruiting 
patches. We recommend them both. Price $8 per thous¬ 
and. 
NICE PLANTS—FINE CONDITION

The strawberry plants came yesterday and we have 
them planted. They arrived in fine condition and were 
all very nice plants.—E. L. Doty.
