WM. BELT. For a long time, Wm. Belt was the stand¬ 
ard of quality—now it shares honors with the Chesapeake 
and McAlpin. Wm. 
Belt berries are large 
in size and somewhat 
irregular in shape. 
This variety is indis¬ 
pensable and it takes 
the lead whenever 
quality is the import¬ 
ant consideration. 
Wm. Belt is at its 
best in the middle 
and northern states 
and in many sections 
it is the only variety 
wanted for home use 
or nearby market. 
The berries are large 
and of a bright, 
glossy color. When 
once tasted, these 
berries will sell 
themselves. Our 
Wm. Belt. plants of this variety 
are fine, and we believe those in the market, who want 
something of highest quality for home use, or local mar¬ 
ket can do no better than to plant some of our Wm. Belt. 
Price $8 per thousand. 
VERY LATE VARIETIES 
GANDY. One of the best known of all strawberries. 
For best results, it should be planted in black-swamp 
land, or in springy land with some clay in its makeup. 
Never plant Gandy in dry, sandy soil. Gandy has been 
and still is a great favorite on the market. It is not a 
heavy producer, but the berries it does produce are uni¬ 
formly large in size, brilliant red in color and have a 
large, bright green cap, which makes the berries very 
beautiful and attractive. Price $6 per thousand. We 
noticed in some of the northern markets, Gandy quoted 
at 25c to 40c per quart wholesale, nearly all season, 
bringing more than almost any other varieties quoted. 
This fact is going to make a big demand for Gandy, 
and if you want some of this variety, get your order 
placed early. Price $8 per thousand. 
KELLOGG’S PRIZE. The berries are large and beauti¬ 
fully formed. They are firm in texture, which makes 
them good for shipping. Kellogg’s Prize is one of the 
most productive very late varieties we have ever seen 
and it holds to size well until the end of the season. We 
believe it is fully as good as Sample, but a little larger, 
a little more productive and considerably later. Those 
who know and like Sample will do well to include some 
Kellogg’s Prize to extend their season. The blossoms are 
imperfect and should be planted with some variety like 
McAlpin, Wm. Belt, or Gandy. Mr. Francis N. Stacey of 
Maryland says, “The Kellogg’s Prize and Magic Gem were 
the best plants I ever saw. Strong, clean, vigorous, they 
demonstrate the point made in your recent letter, namely: 
‘There is a reason why some plants co«t more than 
others’.” You will like this variety. Price $8 per thoua-
