Haverland. A very popular standard. The fruit is 
of large size, rather light in color and firm enough to 
stand shipment in good shape. The blossoms are imper¬ 
fect and exceedingly hardy, which is an important point 
in some of the northern states. Ekey, Big Joe, Dunlap, 
Twilley and Magic Gem are among the best varieties to 
plant, with the Haverland. The plants should be well 
mulched, as the fruit stems are not able to hold the im¬ 
mense loads of berries off the ground. Price $8 per thous¬ 
and. 
Heritage. Berries large, attractive in appearance, good 
quality, firm and quite productive. Blossoms perfect. 
Price $10 per thousand. 
Lupton. One of the largest and most handsome ber¬ 
ries we have ever seen. The plant is a vigorous grower 
and produces strong, healthy foliage. They are very pro¬ 
ductive, and as stated above, the berries are beautiful— 
they are uniformly large, bright red in color, with a 
large green cap which makes them doubly attractive. The 
quality is poor, but the berries are firm and will carry 
as well as any variety we have ever seen, not even ex¬ 
cepting Klondyke and Twilley. On the large markets, 
the appearance of berries is more important than qual¬ 
ity—this being true, we believe the Lupton, by reason 
of its large size, handsome appearance and excellent 
shipping qualities, is destined to be one of the best 
money-making strawberries on our list. Price $10 per 
thousand. 
Magic Gem.. .A vigorous grower with leaves and stems 
very thick and tough, which makes it most resistant to 
insects and diseases. The berries are borne in great 
abundance and are very large in size, with a large, green 
cap and bright yellow seeds, making them very attrac¬ 
tive. 
Marshall. (Norwood). A fancy old variety. Its weak 
point is its lack of vigor and productiveness. The fruit 
quart for quart is hardly equaled, except possibly by 
Chesapeake. Price $12 per thousand. 
New York. Vigorous grower. Quite productive of 
large dark red berries. It is the sweetest berry we grow 
and very popular for home garden planting. 
PAUL JONES. Without exception, the most produc¬ 
tive berry we have ever seen. A vigorous grower, making 
plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed. This year, on 
high, sandy land, the plants produced for us over 6,000 
quarts per acre and if it had all been as good as some 
of the more moist spots, we believe they would have 
produced 8,000 to 10,000 quarts, without any manure 
or fertilizer being applied, either at planting time, or in 
the spring before fruiting The berries are rather long 
and conical in shape, resembling Haverland; but they are 
somewhat darker in color and more attractive in appear¬ 
ance. They are above medium in size, ripen evenly all 
over, of good quality and a good shipper. We use this 
variety very largely in our fruiting patches. They will 
grow almost anywhere, and they certainly do produce 
the fruit. The blossoms are imperfect and should be 
planted with Ekey, Big Joe, Tenn. Prolific, Gold Mine, ©r
