Klondyke is a very 
good grower and 
adapted to a f wide 
variety of soils. It 
is especially pop¬ 
ular in the middle 
and southern states. 
Many large asso¬ 
ciations in the 
South are planting 
Klondyke for their 
main crop, due to 
the fact that it is 
a good shipper. At 
nearby shipping sta¬ 
tions we have seen 
buyers go over load 
after load of berries 
and pay more for 
the Klondyke than 
for any other va¬ 
riety of its season. 
In this section it 
commands the high¬ 
est price until Big 
Joe and Chesapeake 
begin to ripen. A 
good many growers 
and associations 
know this berry 
and will plant it _ 
anyway. For those Longfellow (see page 24) 
in the southern or middle states who are not sure 
what to plant we recommend Klondyke as a market 
berry. The blossoms of Klondyke are perfect and 
the plants are very vigorous and healthy. Klondyke 
will grow anywhere and this fact helps to make it 
the immensely popular berry that it is. Price, 
$3 per 1,000. 
LADY CORNEILLE. 
Many who hive 
fruited this variety 
largely, claim that it is better than Klondyke and, 
if it is, you cannot afford to be without it. We have 
seen it fruiting in California and, if its behavior 
there js any indication of what it will do generally, 
it is a very valuable variety indeed. The plant is a 
strong grower and does well on almost any soil. 
The blossoms are perfect; the berries are large, con¬ 
ical in shape, uniform in size, and hold up well until 
the end of the season. The fruit is dark red in color 
and covered with prominent golden seeds. It has 
added value in that it is very firm and able to stand 
long-distance shipments in good condition. For the 
An exceedingly promising sort 
middle and southern states we recommend Lady 
Corneille very highly, and it should be tried out in 
all sections where Strawberries are grown exten¬ 
sively. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Lady Thompson. An old standard that for 
—--- many years was prac¬ 
tically the only variety grown in the great berry 
section of North Carolina. It makes strong, vigorous, 
healthy plants that produce large crops of medium¬ 
sized, handsome, well-shaped berries. It is firm 
enough for shipping and is still used as a fancy 
shipping berry in many sections of the South. Price, 
$3-50 per 1,000. 
Lea. S° ut hern # growers who. have tried Lea 
-- speak of it in the very highest terms as a 
valuable market berry. The originator says: “It is 
the best thing I have 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 plant is a strong, sturdy grower without 
a spot of rust or other defect in its foliage. The 
fruit ripens evenly, is of 
uniform size, and is pro¬ 
duced in large quantities. 
The demand for Lea is 
certain to increase after 
it becomes more widely 
known. Price, $3 per 
1,000.

NONE CAN BE BETTER 
The berry plants, fall-bear¬ 
ing Strawberries, I got from 
you last spring did wonder¬ 
fully well. The plants were 
fine; I did not lose one. I 
am one of your old customers 
and know from past orders 
what your plants are. None 
can be better.— Mrs. B. B.
