TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Lea. One of the best market berries for the South 
KLONDYKE. Hundreds of acres of this variety 
are being grown all over the eastern shore of Mary¬ 
land and Delaware for the northern markets. Klon- 
dyke has made a great success; it is one of the best 
shippers, and demands the top price in the market, 
frequently bringing a premium over other varieties, 
owing, in a great measure, to its large size and 
unusual firmness; blossoms are perfect, plants 
making a vigorous growth and producing a good 
crop. If you want a 
good berry that 
will bring the top 
price in market, and 
firm enough to ship 
anywhere, don’t 
hesitate to plant 
the Klondyke; it 
will please your cus¬ 
tomers, bring trade 
and increase your 
profits. (See p. 12.) 
LADY THOMP¬ 
SON. This variety 
has been so exten¬ 
sively grown it 
hardly seems ne¬ 
cessary to say much 
about it. For many 
years it was practi¬ 
cally the only va¬ 
riety grown in the 
great Strawberry 
section of North 
Carolina. It makes 
strong, vigorous, 
healthy plants that 
produce large crops 
of medium - large, 
handsome, firm and 
well-shaped berries, 
and is especially 
well adapted to the 
warmer climate of 
the South. 
LONGFELLOW. Blossoms 
are perfect; medium early and 
very productive; long-conical 
in shape, highly colored and 
well flavored; plants are vigor¬ 
ous and healthy. I consider 
it an exceedingly promising 
variety, and it can be recom¬ 
mended as a good all-round 
market berry. You will find it all right.

This is my first opportunity to acknowledge receipt 
of plants. They came through safely and promptly. I 
find everything as represented. Plants were in splendid 
condition—clean, vigorous looking and full count, yes, 
liberal count. Accept my thanks for your promptness 
and square dealing.— Charles T. Shaffer, Prince 
George County, Md., April 27, 1913. 
Longfellow. An exceedingly promising sort 
LEA. A strong, sturdy 
grower without a spot of rust 
or other defect in its foliage; 
blossoms are perfect; ripening 
evenly all over, it is uniformly 
large in size and very pro¬ 
ductive. The originator says: 
“It is the best thing I have in 
the Strawberry line. Lea sold 
along with Bubach, and will 
stand more rainy weather and 
keep in better condition than 
any berry I ever grew; Climax 
C roduced a few more quarts 
ut did not bring near the 
money.” Southern growers 
who have tried it speak in the 
highest terms of its value as a 
market berry, one of the best 
of its class.
