Mid-Season Varieties 
Abington. An old standard. Berries large, good quality, 
blossoms perfect. Price, $10.00 per 1,000. 
BIG JOE. (Joe Johnson) (Joe). One of the most popular 
shipping berries on nearly all large markets. It is a strong grower, 
making plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed. The berries are 
targe,bright red, and have large, light green caps, which makes the 
berries very attractive, and adds to the selling price. The qual¬ 
ity 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 Haverland, Paul Jones, Big 
Late, Hustler, Sample, etc. Price, $8.00 per 1,000. See illus¬ 
tration, page 15. 
Ekey. (O. I. C.) A vigorous growing variety that you can 
depend on to give « big crop. The berries resemble 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 appear¬ 
ance. We have used Ekey, planted with Paul Jones in our 
fruiting patches. We recommend them both. Price, $8.00 per 
1.000. See illustration, page 16. 
GLEN MART. In the Middle and Northern States where 
Glen Mary is at its best, probably no variety of strawberries will 
produce more quarts per acre. The berries are large, firm enough 
to ship, of handsome appearance and good quality. Glen Mary 
is a strong grower and produces an abundance of foliage. The 
blossoms are about half perfect, but carry enough pollen for 
their own fruit. However, we believe the size and quality of 
the berries can be increased by planting in a few rows of some 
strong pollenizer, as Big Joe or Ekey. Price, $10.00 per 1,000. 
They Were all Right. 
Have received the plants and have them planted already. They were 
all right. David Sellenrick.
