TR UE-TO-N AME STRA W BERRY PLANTS

It makes large, healthy plants with dark green foli¬ 
age; the blossoms are semi-staminate, but carry 
enough pollen to fruit its own berries. A New Jersey 
customer says, “The Glen Mary is the only variety 
with which I have made a success,” and we have 
many letters of this nature about Glen Mary. We 
doubt if there is any berry in the country that will 
produce more quarts to the acre than the Glen 
Mary, and they are fancy berries of large size and 
attractive appearance. We have this illustrated in 
colors on the front page of our cata¬ 
logue this year, because we want all of 
our customers, especially those in the 
North, to try it out and see what a really 
wonderful berry it is. With any variety 
we must have the fruit before we can 
sell it, and Glen Mary certainly pro¬ 
duces enormous quantities of 
fancy fruit. We have seldom 
had enough Glen 
Mary to fill all our 
orders, but hope to 
be able to this sea¬ 
son. See cut, p. io. 
NOT OUR FAULT 
I beg to say if the plants 
do not live it will be my fault, 
as they certainly have a fine 
lot of roots and area splendid, 
healthy looking collection.—

County, Maryland, May 24,

r J M This is a new variety of con- 
17 r aim marie, s iderable merit, which we in¬ 
tended to offer last year, but the drought cut our 
crop of plants short, so we planted all we had that 
we might be able to offer it this year and have 
enough to supply all of our customers. Grand Marie 
was originated in Michigan in 1905; it produces an 
abundance of strong, healthy foliage and it bears 
large, wedge-shaped or conical berries, is firm and 
of good quality. When fully ripe it is dark, rich, 
glossy red, and the berries will remain on the plants 
in good shape for several days. Clay loam is best for 
this variety, and it should be mulched so as to 
secure even coloring. An ex¬ 
cellent shipper, and you should 
try it. See illustration, p. 11. 
MOST WONDER¬ 
FUL PLANTS 
I wish to acknowl¬ 
edge the receipt of 
the most wonderful 
Strawberry plants 
I have ever seen. They have 
been set out less than three 
weeks and are already in bloom. Wm. Belt 
seem to be a little more forward than the 
Chesapeake, but of the 500 sent not one has 
wilted or failed.— Mrs. C. E. Hawkins, 
Hernando County, Florida, March 1, 1915. 
The old reliable Gandy (see page 8) 
Hollar The most noticeable thing about 
lSOlloX. Gold Dollar is its uniformity. It 
produces a heavy crop of large-sized, highly colored 
berries that are perfect in shape. It has perfect 
blossoms, every one of which matures a good berry. 
The season of ripening is medium early, although 
when planted on sandy land, it is almost as early 
as Early Ozark. We have fruited Gold Dollar 
several times, and have been highly pleased with it. 
ARRIVED SAFELY AND PROMPTLY 
Shipment of Progressive Strawberry plants arrived safely 
and promptly.— John Butterfield, St. Paul, Minnesota,

HAVFRl ANH (Mammoth Beauty). This is 
n/A Y a var i e ty that enjoys almost uni¬ 
versal popularity. The fruit is long, of large size, 
rather light in color; it makes a strong vigorous 
growth, with plenty of runners. The berry pictured 
in colors on page 34 is typical of the variety; it is 
popular in all sections where it has been tried, and 
the fact that it has stood the test so long certainly 
speaks well for it. We seldom hear any complaint 
from this variety. The blossoms are pistillate and 
extremely hardy, which is an important point in 
some of the northern states. The Haverland should 
be well mulched, as the fruit-stems are not able to 
hold the immense load of berries off the ground;
