AROMA. 
An old standard variety that has been on the market a good 
many years and seems to be gaining in popularity all the time. 
We often receive letters from customers saying that “new varieties may be 
good, but Aroma is good enough for me.” Mr. Alonzo Stewart, of Edwards 
County, Illinois, says: “I have never been deceived in your plants. I can 
truthfully say that the Aroma is the best berry I have ever grown. I always 
recommend your plants to my friends.” The foliage is dark green and of a 
spreading habit. It is a perfect-flowering variety and as a pollenizer of pistillate 
varieties of its season, it is unexcelled. Mr. Snyder, of Indiana, planted Aroma 
and Fendall together and got a crop of 15,000 quarts of fancy berries per acre. 
It has a very long picking season. The blossoms begin to open medium early 
and continue until late. The berries are rich in color, large in size, and deli¬ 
ciously aromatic in flavor. Through Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and in 
many other sections, it is probably the most widely grown variety, as a fancy 
market berry. It has a handsome green cap which makes it show 
up well in the package. The berries are firm in texture and solid 
enough to make an excellent shipping berry. Plant Aroma alone or 
with Fendall, Hustler, Sample, 
Haverland, and other fancy pis¬ 
tillate varieties. Aroma is a 
money-making berry and we 
would like to see it 
grown more widely. 
Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Brandywine. 
This is another most 
popular late variety 
for tropical and semi- 
tropical sections. We 
especially recommend 
this for Bermuda, 
Cuba, the Pacific coast 
states and the Gulf 
states. At the same time 
it is a valuable variety 
in the North where it 
originated. The plant 
is healthy and vigorous 
and produces a fine 
crop of large, hand¬ 
some fruit which usu¬ 
ally brings more than 
the average price. We 
have a fine stock of 
Brandywine plants 
this season and hope 
to be able to fill all 
orders. The picture on 
the left shows the fine 
shape and large size. 
Brandywine. A most popular late variety both North and South Price, $3.50 per t 000.
