TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
31 
MID-SEASON STRAWBERRIES, continued 
Vnfltf Many housekeepers in this coun- 
try feel they cannot have a 
Strawberry bed for the home garden unless they 
have some New York, as its quality is seldom 
equaled. It is very prolific and bears through a long 
season. The berries are large and the seeds are so 
near the color of the berries and so deep-set that 
they are scarcely noticeable. Its excellent quality 
and large size make it a very popular Strawberry 
for the home garden and local market. It is the 
sweetest berry we know of and is rivaled in quality 
only by Wm. Belt, McAlpin, Hustler, and a few 
others. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
Parsons’ Beauty. A strong-growing 
-variety. Very produc¬ 
tive of medium-large, good-quality berries. The 
fruit is uniform in size and holds up well to the end 
of the season. It is recommended especially for 
local market, as it is not firm enough for distant 
shipping. In some sections, where it can be picked 
in the afternoon and hauled to market the next 
morning, it is very popular. The berries are dark in 
color and have a bright green cap, which makes them 
very attractive. The good quality of the fruit is a 
valuable aid in selling them. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 
PAUL JONES. A T n S m ?r e , than fifty va- 
- rieties which we fruited 
last spring Paul Jones gave us the biggest surprise 
of all. It was one of the most productive varieties 
that we had. The fruit was of good size and hand¬ 
some appearance. It is claimed to be a 
seedling of Brandywine and Haverland. 
The blossoms are imperfect and the plants 
are wonderfully productive of beautiful 
contrast. The flavor of the fruit is mild and deli¬ 
cious. The calyx is a dark rich green which adds to 
the beauty of the berry. The berries are very firm 
and ship exceedingly well. Another valuable point, 
in addition to the vigorous nature of the plant, its 
productiveness, and high quality of fruit, is the 
fact that it is an exceptionally strong bisexual. All 
points considered, this variety is most appropriately 
named, as it surely is magical in its productive 
powers and the berries it produces so abundantly 
are gems of beauty and deliciousness.” Judging 
from the way our young plants are growing, this 
variety seems to be all that the introducer claims 
for it and we believe everyone should try it out. 
Price, $5 per 1,000. 
Marshall (Norwood). A fancy old variety 
- known to most Strawberry-growers. 
It is one of the largest berries on the market. The 
berries are of fine quality and handsome appearance 
and it is popular with those who want to produce 
the very finest fruit. It is often used in making 
crosses of other varieties. If we could get a variety 
with the productiveness of Longfellow, Haverland, 
or Twilley, combined with the large size and hand¬ 
some appearance of the Marshall, we would indeed 
have something valuable. Being very hard to grow, 
plants other than Marshall have been sent out to 
the trade. We assure you that our stock is strictly 
true to name on Marshall as well as on all the 
other varieties which we grow. Price, $5 per 1,000.
