TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Sweetheart is as handsome as a rose 
SWEETHEART. This variety has made a splen¬ 
did growth here, but as we have not fruited it, we 
will quote from the description of Chas. A. Green, the 
introducer, as follows: “It is a beautiful, bright 
carmine-red, the best keeping berry I have ever seen, 
and must become a good shipper on account of its 
firmness of flesh and ability to stand up under hard 
usage. The flesh is highly colored nearly to the 
center.” Prof. H. E. Van Deman says: “Sweetheart 
appears to me to be one of the very best in vigor 
and productiveness of plant; has well¬ 
shaped berries of good size and high 
quality.” Sweetheart is worth extensive trial. 
TENNESSEE PROLIFIC. As indicated by its 
name, it is very prolific. Large size, bright crimson 
and for the most part long and corrugated in shape. 
The berries of this variety present a picture most 
attractive. The flesh is fine-grained and makes a 
good shipper; it is equally popular as a canner. The 
Prolific has been on the market twenty-seven or 
twenty-eight years, and the demand for it 
seems to be greater today than ever before. 
The blossoms are perfect, and it makes one 
of the best staminate varieties to plant 
with medium - early or midseason pistil¬ 
late varieties. (See page 20.) 
THREE W’S. This variety took first 
prize at the World's Fair at St. Louis, and 
made a record of keeping ten days. A very 
popular, perfect-blooming, midseason va¬ 
riety; plants large, robust and amply able to pro¬ 
duce big crops. The foliage is a beautiful dark 
green in color and very attractive. The fruit is 
large, of fine quality and produced very freely, cov¬ 
ering’ a long season from medium-early to late. 
This and the Tennessee Prolific are among the best 
to plant with pistillate varieties. It is firm in texture 
and a good keeper; it is also very resistant to late 
frosts, seldom being affected by them. (See page 21.) 
TWILLEY. This is the variety for which we paid 
$200 for one dozen plants. This was the prize 
for the best unintroduced variety sent us, which 
fruited in 1909. The size is large; the berry is well 
colored, and, what is very important to the com¬ 
mercial grower, is exceedingly firm. The eating 
quality also is very good. Ripens medium late and 
makes plenty of healthy, vigorous plants. A variety 
that will give general satisfaction to growers who 
want a large, fancy, shipping berry. It is a persist¬ 
ent grower, almost covering the ground with plants 
during the hottest and driest seasons and will bear 
a good crop of berries, while many other varieties 
growing in the —- 
same field will ^ Best He Ever Saw 
be found to suf¬ 
fer severely.
