In Excellent Shape 
I wish to thank you for both quality and quantity of 
plants you sent. They were in excellent shape, and I be¬ 
lieve they will grow.—Mrs. W. H. Ballard, Chaves Co.,

growers who do not include 
this in their collection. For 
fancy market or home table it 
is indispensable. Where qual¬ 
ity js an important considera¬ 
tion, it is one of the most pop¬ 
ular varieties ever originated. 
If you have not grown Wm. 
Belt, you have missed one of 
the best varieties of Straw¬ 
berries in cultivation. 
WILDWOOD. Your garden 
will not be complete without a 
few plants of this excellent va¬ 
riety. As the name suggests, 
it is a very delicious Straw¬ 
berry, having that wild Straw¬ 
berry flavor so much admired; 
this, together with the fact 
that the vines grow very rank, 
suggested the name Wildwood. 
I am sure it will please everyone 
who wants early berries for the 
home or home market; it is too 
soft for long shipments. It is 
one of the tallest-growing and 
rankest-growing plants on the 
farm, and is one of the very 
best in my list for the home garden. The 
berries are medium to large, bright scarlet, 
and borne in exceeding profusion. Blossoms 
semi-perfect and will bear a crop planted 
alone, but as it will be improved by planting 
some good staminates near it, I think it best 
to list it as imperfect. I hope all my custom¬ 
ers will give this variety a trial this year, as 
it undoubtedly will give satisfaction.

Wildwood. Tastes like a wild Strawberry 
WOLVERTON. Introduced a good many years ago 
by the late John Little, of Ontario, Canada. The plants 
make a good growth, and have perfect blossoms, very 
strong in pollen, making it a very desirable variety to 
plant with midseason pistillate varieties. It is no un¬ 
common thing to see ripe berries and blossoms on this 
variety at the same time. I have fruited the Wolverton 
for many years, and find it to be one of the most reliable 
of the old, standard kinds. It will succeed better than 
most varieties on light soils. 
MIXED PLANTS 
In filling a great many orders I usually have more or 
less odds and ends, and sometimes a plot of plants will 
get mixed in the field, so that I cannot use them for 
filling regular orders. Under this heading I offer plants 
at a very low rate to those who are willing to take chances 
on what they get. When you order mixed plants the 
only thing I guarantee is that you will get the amount of 
strawberry plants that you order, and they will be of 
one or more kinds that are listed in this catalogue— 
usually they are not labeled. Occasionally in handling a 
great many plants, a label will get torn from the basket 
in which they are taken up and, as we should have no 
means of knowing what these are, they would be put in 
to fill any orders that we might have f or mi-ed plants. 
This picture shows two plants of the same va¬ 
riety. Some growers charge more for plants than 
others. There is a reason.
