The berries hold 
up well after pick¬ 
ing and the caps 
remain green and 
bright, indicating 
that it is to be¬ 
come a prime fa¬ 
vorite with com¬ 
mercial growers. 
HERITAGE. 
Originated in New 
Jersey. Blossoms 
perfect, and the 
berry has a large, 
green cap which 
adds very much to 
its appearance and 
market value. Ber¬ 
ries are uniformly 
large and uniform 
in shape, with splen¬ 
did color and de¬ 
licious flavor; firm and productive. 
JULY. This variety was planted by me for 
the first time two years ago, and after fruiting 
it, I find the berries to be only medium in size, 
but very productive and later than the Gandy; 
in fact, the latest berry that I have ever grown. 
While the berries are not large, they are firm 
and attractive, and it is immensely productive. 
It makes very large plants, which seem to be 
entirely free from disease; blossoms perfect. 
If you want the latest berry grown, plant the 
July. (See illustration, page n.) 
KING EDWARD. Plants are strong, with large 
foliage, and bear freely. Mr. D. J. Miller, of Ohio, 
who originated this variety, is very enthusiastic 
over it, and expects great things of it. Mr. Miller 
says: “All things considered, it is the greatest 
berry I have ever grown.” I have fruited it here 
in Maryland, and find it to be a good, reliable 
variety; productive, large in size and good in 
quality. The shape and size of the berry is well 
represented in the illustration. 
KANSAS. Fruit is above medium in size and 
the plant is immensely productive; the color is 
brilliant crimson, not only on the surface but 
through and through. It is one of the most fragrant 
of Strawberries, and the plants are free from rust 
and other diseases. I hear excellent reports from 
this variety on the Pacific Coast, and I believe 
growers in that section would do well to try it. 
size oi tne Derry, 
and the foliage 
is very large, as 
befits the yielder 
of great crops of 
big red berries.” 
King Edward. Strong grower; free bearer 
I do not mean by this that it is not valuable else¬ 
where, as it is one of the best croppers I ever prew 
in this state. Blossoms are pistillate, and its sea¬ 
son of ripening medium to late; it is a very fine 
berry for canning and preserving. 
KELLOGG’S PRIZE. This is a pistillate va¬ 
riety and is said to ripen from early to late; the 
originator has the following to say: “The variety 
continued bearing a little later than Sample and 
Stevens’ Late Champion, and it was the last to be 
found on the vines.” It was the remark of one of 
our customers that “they did not know that Straw¬ 
berries ever grew so large; if the public knew of 
the value of this variety the demand for plants 
could not be supplied.” The introducer says: 
“Kellogg’s Prize is very highly colored, with golden 
seed, the rich color extending to the center; flavor 
is delicious and nothing excels it as a shipping 
berry; the cap is ample and in harmony with the 
Klondyke often brings a premium over other sorts ( 9 ec page 13) 
Excellent 
Results 
Enclosed find the 
third order I’ve 
sent you for Straw¬ 
berries within the 
last few years. The 
plants were fine, 
and we got excel¬ 
lent results. I hope 
for such success this 
time. — Frank E.
