TRUE-TO-NAME S TRAWBERRY PLANTS 
LADY 
CORNEILLE 
Originated in 
P o n c h a t o u 1 a , 
Louisiana, and is 
said to be better 
than Klondyke.The 
plant is a bushy, 
strong grower, with 
large, dark green 
leaves and makes 
plants freely. Blos¬ 
soms perfect. The 
berry is large, con¬ 
ical in shape, uni¬ 
form in size, and 
holds out large un¬ 
til the end of the 
season. The fruit 
is of a rich, dark 
red, covered with 
huge golden seeds 
which stand out 
prominently, and 
give ample proof 
of its firmness and 
ability to withstand 
long-distance ship¬ 
ments. It is vig¬ 
orous and seems to 
succeed on almost 
any soil; the yield 
is said to be enor¬ 
mous, much heavier 
than the Klondyke. Henry Morton & Co., com¬ 
mission merchants of Chicago, who have sold the 
fruit, speak very highly of it and quote it higher 
than other varieties. It is claimed that Mrs. 
Corneille, the originator, has been offered $6,000 
for the control of this variety. We have been 
hearing many flattering reports of the Lady 
Corneille for several years, but have not put it 
in stock before, owing to the fact that it was 
under restrictions which we would not tolerate. 
We have a very nice stock of plants now, however, 
and shall be pleased to furnish our many customers.

LADY THOMPSON. This variety has been so 
extensively grown it hardly seems necessary to say 
much about it. For many years it was practically 
Longfellow. An exceedingly promising sort 
the only variety grown in the great Strawberry 
section of North Carolina. It makes strong, vigor¬ 
ous, healthy plants that produce large crops of 
medium-large, handsome, firm and well-shaped 
berries. 
LEA. A strong, sturdy grower, without a spot 
of rust or other defect in its foliage. Blossoms per¬ 
fect, ripening evenly; while productive, uniformly 
large in size. Southern growers who have tried it 
speak in the highest terms of its value as a market 
berry. The originator says: “It is the best thing I 
have in the Strawberry line. Lea sold with Bubach, 
and will stand more rainy weather and keep in 
better condition than any berry I ever grew.” 
LONGFELLOW. This is a berry that we con¬ 
sider an exceedingly valuable addition 
to our list, and re¬ 
commend it as a 
good all-round berry. 
It ripens medium 
early, has perfect 
blossoms and is very 
productive. Long- 
conical in shape, 
highly colored and 
makes a vigorous, 
healthy growth. You 
will find it a good, 
reliable and safe va¬ 
riety to plant.
