Very Late Varieties 
GANDY 
Kellogg’s Prize Strawberry 
three best late pistillates. Price, $7 per 1,000. 
IVTa The berries are large, glossy red, and of 
iVIdatUl. good quality. They are quite large in 
size. It is not quite so late as Orem, but in other ways 
compares favorably with tjiat variety. Price, 50 cts. 
for 25, 90 cts. for 50, $1.20 for 75, $1.50 for 100. 
This is the very latest berry that we 
UKLM. have and it is a good one. Many grow¬ 
ers, especially those who are supplying a local mar¬ 
ket,- are planting Orem to extend their season as 
long as possible. The plant is a vigorous grower and 
produces a big crop of large bright red berries that 
have a beautiful green cap, making them show up 
very nicely in the package. The berries are excellent 
in quality and this fact coupled with their large size, 
attractive appearance, and extreme lateness of sea¬ 
son, makes them a valuable variety for the market- 
gardener. They bring good prices after all other 
fancy berries are gone. Price, $7 per 1,000. 
One of the best known of all varieties of Straw¬ 
berries. For best results it should be planted in 
black swamp land, or, if this is not possible, in springy land with 
some clay in its make-up. Never plant Gandy in dry, sandy soil. 
Gandy has been and still is a great favorite on the market. It is 
not a heavy producer, but the berries it does produce are uniformly 
large in size, brilliant red in color, and have a large, bright green 
cap, which makes the berry very beautiful and attractive. It is one 
of the firmest berries we have. Its great shipping qualities enable 
it to hold its full beauty and attractiveness until it gets to market. 
Gandy is so universally known and admired that it needs no fur¬ 
ther recommendation from us. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
ITT?T 1 dd T7T? The berries are large and beau- 
lYEyLLUvjlj ^ r tifully formed. See illustra¬ 
tion. They are very firm in texture, which makes them good for 
shipping purposes. The perfect shape and bright green cap make 
the berries show up well in the package. Kellogg’s Prize is one of 
the most productive very late varieties we have seen, and it holds 
its size well until the end of the season. A good point about this 
variety is that it gets better with each succeeding season, giving 
two or three big crops of very fine berries where proper care is 
taken. Kellogg’s Prize ranks with Hustler and Sample as one of the 
Pearl. 
Originated in Indiana. It is claimed by the 
originator that it bears large-sized fruit 
several days after the Gandy has ceased bearing. It 
holds up in size and quality until the last picking, the 
berries ripening evenly all over. The foliage is free 
from rust and it is said to be able to withstand 
drought much better than most other varieties. 
Price, 75 cts. for 25, $1.20 for 50, $1.60 for 75, 
$2 for 100. 
Stevens’ Late Champion. ^ es foli a 
age, which amply protects the -fruit. Berries are of 
large size, bright red in color, and of good quality. 
Ripens quite late and makes a season of medium 
length. It blossoms late in the season, which makes 
it almost immune to late frost. Very popular in New 
England and the middle and northern states. Price, 
$6 per 1,000. 
California Privet 
While we have disposed of our stock of orna¬ 
mentals and shrubbery at wholesale, and will not 
list them any more, in order that we may give all 
of our time to the production of Strawberry 
plants, the demand for California Privet has been 
so large that we have decided to continue grow¬ 
ing this as a side issue. The California Privet, or 
Ligustrum ovalifolium, widely and favorably 
known as a hedge plant, is a vigorous grower 
everywhere and will endure the hard conditions 
of the cities. It is one of the best shrubs for 
hedge-planting. 
Set the plants deep enough for the lower 
branches to be in contact with the soil, as this is 
important in getting a thick and close base to the 
hedge. Then for the same reason set the plants 
1 closer than many practise—6 inches in the row is 
better than farther apart. Mulch both sides with 
rotten manure; keep the soil cultivated till the 
hedge is established. 
After setting, cut all the tops to 6 to 8 inches. 
The first season, clip the tops several times to in¬ 
duce a broad and thick base, leaving it from 2 to 
4 inches higher at each trimming.
