Klondyke. A gold nugget for the southern grower 
MEDIUM-EARLY STRAWBERRIES, continued 
it't Avrnvin? Probably more quarts of 
IVLv/liL/ 1 JVH/. Klondyke are grown in this 
country than of any other one variety of Strawberries. 
Hundreds and hundreds of acres all through the 
South are planted to this variety. The reasons it 
is so well liked are many. The plant is a vigorous 
grower and quite healthy. It is not an extra-heavy 
producer, but it bears a fair crop and the berries 
are medium to large in size. They ripen evenly all 
over, are rather light in color, and most important of 
all, are firm enough to ship hundreds of miles and 
still go into market in perfect condition. In this 
section where it is largely grown, Klondyke com¬ 
mands the market until Big Joe and Chesapeake 
begin to ripen. Klonkdye will grow almost anywhere 
and this, with its even ripening, uniform size, and ex¬ 
cellent carrying qualities, makes it the leader in 
sections where it is grown. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
LADY CORNEILLE. Sat&T 
riety largely claim that it is better than Klondyke 
and, if it is, you 
added value in that it is very firm and able to stand 
long-distance shipments in good condition. For the 
middle and southern states we recommend Lady 
Corneille very highly; it should be tried in all exten¬ 
sive Strawberry sections. Price, $5 per 1,000.

of the South. It makes a strong, vigorous growth of 
healthy plants that produce large crops of hand¬ 
some, well-shaped berries. It is firm enough for ship¬ 
ping and is still used as a fancy berry in many sec¬ 
tions of the South. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
t Growers who have tried Lea speak highly of 
ft ag a mar k e t berry. The originator says: 
“It is the best thing I have had in the Strawberry 
line. Lea sold with Bubach and will stand more rainy 
weather and keep in better condition than any berry 
I ever saw. The fruit ripens evenly, it is of uniform 
size, and is produced in large quantities.” The de¬ 
mand for Lea will increase as it becomes more widely 
known. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
cannot afford to 
be without it. 
We have seen it 
fruiting in Cali¬ 
fornia and, if its 
behavior there is 
any indication of 
what it will do 
generally, it is a 
veryvaluableva- 
riety indeed. The 
plant is a strong 
grower and does 
well on almost 
any soil. The 
blossoms are per¬ 
fect; the berries 
are large, conical 
in shape,uniform 
in size, and hold 
up well until the 
end of the sea¬ 
son. The fruit is 
dark red in color 
and covered with 
prominent gold¬ 
en seeds. It has
