MID-SEASON STRAWBERRIES, continued 
Warfield. The popular old standard

cially desirable on account of its rich flavor 
and high color. It is a vigorous grower and 
a persistent plant-maker. For 
this reason the plants must be

Originated by Mr. S. 
H. Warren, of Auburn- 
dale, Massachusetts, and introduced by us 
two years ago. Mr. Warren was a veteran berry-grower and after growing 
the best varieties for fifty-eight years, he considered Warren the best he 
had ever seen. After having fruited this variety and having received 
much favorable comment on it from our customers, we are prepared to 
recommend it very highly. It does best on loamy soil, not being so well 
adapted to the lighter types. Plants are exceedingly vigorous, with a 
dark green leathery foliage, and produce a splendid crop of large, high- 
quality. high-colored berries, which have taken first prize at the Massa¬ 
chusetts Horticultural Show. For the North and West, we consider 
Warren one of the most valuable varieties on the market. Mrs. F. B. 
Peyton, of Albemarle County, Virginia, says: “I want you to know how 
thoroughly satisfied I am with the yield, size, and delicious flavor of the 
Chesapeake and Warren Strawberries from the plants gotten from you 
last year. They were certainly the finest fruit we have ever seen.” Give 
it a trial on some good rich land. You will be surprised and pleased with 
the result. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
Wilson Albany. At one time probably more widely grown than 
-2— any other variety and it 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 frequently have 
calls for this variety and, as our plants are bedding up nicely, showing 
much of the old-time vigor of the variety, we hope to be able to supply 
the demand. Price, $4 per 1,000. 
Winner. The P* ants °f this variety are vigorous in growth. They 
--.-1 produce a large crop of good-sized berries which are borne 
on unusually long stems. The fruit is highly colored and very attractive; the berries are somewhat irregular 
in shape, running from long-conical to broad-conical. The blossoms are perfect. 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, one of the few berries that grows better with each succeeding picking. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Winner. An all-round fruit
