WARRFN Two y ears a g° we introduced this 
11 • variety, which we obtained from 
Mr. S. H. Warren, of Auburndale, Massachusetts. 
Mr. Warren was a veteran berry-grower, and after 
growing the best varieties for fifty-eight years, he 
considered Warren the best he had ever seen. After 
fruiting this variety and after having received much 
favorable comment of the Warren from many 
sources, we are prepared to recommend it very 
highly. It does best on loamy soil, not being so well 
adapted to the lighter types. Plants are exceedingly 
vigorous, with dark green, leathery foliage, and 
produce a splendid crop of large, high-quality, 
highly colored berries, which have taken several 
prizes at the Massachusetts horticultural shows. We 
consider Warren one of the handsomest berries and 
one of the most valuable of the new varieties for 
the commercial grower. We feel that we cannot 
say too much in praise of this new berry. Be sure 
to give it a trial. See illustration in natural colors, 
page 15. 
Warfield. 
Another popular old standard. It is 
a persistent plant-maker and must be 
kept thin to give best results, but, if not allowed to 
grow too thick, it will produce a great crop of very 
desirable, medium-sized berries that are highly 
flavored and highly colored; ripens midseason 
and is especially popular in the West. For 
syrups, canning, etc., it is especi¬ 
ally desirable on account of its rich 
flavor and high color. 
JUST GREW RIGHT ON 
I have the pleasure of reporting the collec¬ 
tion of Strawberry plants you shipped by 
parcel post last month, reached me in fine 
condition; even the leaves were not wilted, 
and they just grew right on as if they had 
not been transplanted to another zone. Have 
not lost a plant.— Mrs. E. G. Smith, Iberia 
County, Louisiana, March 8, 1915. 
THRFF This variety took first prize at 
1 ni\Lt W O. the Wor i d » s Fair at St. Louis, 
and made a record of keeping ten days. A very 
popular, perfect-blooming, midseason variety; plants 
large, robust and amply able to produce 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, covering 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 illustration in natural colors, page 34. 
Twillpv Several years ago we paid $200.00 for 
w 1 “J • one dozen plants of this variety. This 
was the prize for the best unintroduced variety sent 
us. It was fruited in 1909. The size is large, the 
berry is well colored and it is exceedingly firm, which 
makes it an excellent variety for market 
purposes. The eating quality is also very 
good. It is a persistent grower, bearing 
good crops even in hot, dry seasons. The 
fruit is rich, bright red and the bright 
green caps add to its attractiveness.
