grandfather grew when he was a boy. It 
was the leading berry of its day, and is 
still grown in parts of New York, 
mostly for canning purposes. 
The berries are somewhat tart 
but are quite firm and make 
good shippers. We fre¬ 
quently have calls for 
this variety, and we are 
therefore offering it this 
year. Our plants are 
bedding up nicely, show- 
irg much of the old-time 
vigor of the variety.

are vigorous in growth. 
They produce a large 
crop of good-sized berries, which are borne on unusually long stems. The 
fruit is highly colored and very attractive; berries are somewhat irregular 
in shape, running from long-conical to broad-conical. The blossoms are 
perfect. Last year there was quite a demand for this variety in California, 
and we think the demand will increase in many sections when it is 
known better. It is an all-round valuable variety and an especially good 
shipper. Give it a trial.

As its name suggests, it has a delicious, wild .Strawberry flavor, and we are 
sure it will please everyone who wants early berries for the home or home 
market. The berries are medium to large, bright scarlet and borne in 
great profusion. You should have some in your garden. 
Willard (Francis £.)• This is a new variety, first introduced by M. Craw- 
liicu u f or d q q Q f Ohio, who describes it as follows: “This variety 
first came to our knowledge when the originator sent us a basket of fruit 
in June, 1912. The berries were about the size and shape of eggs, a beau¬ 
tiful, glossy red in color, and of fine quality. The fruit so impressed us as 
being superior in all that goes to make a perfect tjerry that we purchased 
the whole stock from the originator.” It is rnakmg a vigorous, healthy 
growth on our grounds. 
Woolverton. 
many years we find it to be one of 
the most reliable of the old standard 
kinds. It bears an abundance of fine, large berries and 
will succeed better than most varieties on light soil, has 
a long ripening season. It is no unusual thing to see 
ripe berries and blossoms on the plants at the same time, 
For a long time Wm. Belt was the 
standard of quality, now it shares 
the honors with Chesapeake. There are few lovers of 
Strawberries who will cross plots of many varieties and 
not pick out Wm. Belt as the best-flavored, unless 
there were Chesapeake in one of the plots. The 
demand for Wm. Belt has increased during the last 
few years, and we have increased our stock to meet 
the demand every year, but seem to be unable to 
get it large enough. One grower in Washington 
writes us: “The Wm. Belt and Chesapeake are 
dandies. I am going to run all my patches to 
tjiese two kinds, they stood the drought best 
and are in good shape now.” For fancy market 
or home table it is indispensable and it takes the lead 
wherever quality is the important consideration. Wm. 
Belt thrives especially well in the middle and northern 
states. See illustration in natural colors, page 6. 
A new variety from Pennsylvania, which 
ranks high in productiveness, and its high 
eating quality, which is simply delicious. It makes a 
vigorous, healthy growth, with luxuriant, dark green 
foliage. The berries are long-pointed in shape and 
medium in size. Try a few—you will like it. Wildwood has the wild Strawberry flavor
