TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Hustler Strawberries 
LATE STRAWBERRIES, continued 
feel sure you will make no mistake in planting it. 
The berries are large and pointed, somewhat like 
the Haverland. It is a great cropper, fairly uniform 
in shape and color, and there is something about 
the flavor that causes you to want more. The 
plants are vigorous and healthy and it is one of the 
best growers on the farm. It seems to us that 
this variety has been somewhat overlooked, as the 
demand for it does not seem to be so strong as its 
merits deserve. The blossoms are perfect and 
produce an abundance of pollen, making it a good 
variety to plant with imperfect-flowering varieties 
of its season. Price, $4 per 1,000. 
HUSTLER 
This new variety, introduced by us two years 
ago, is a native of Pennsylvania and it is destined 
to become one of the great fancy Strawberries, 
throughout the country. It is a vigorous grower, 
making a few large strong plants rather than many 
small ones. The fruit averages large in size, is 
uniform, and firm enough to ship to a distant market. 
The berry is rich scarlet in color, excellent in quality, 
and altogether one of the handsomest berries that 
we know. Hustler is one of the varieties that we 
are going to plant heavily this season for fruit 
alone and we know of no better recommendation 
we can give it than that. The blossoms are imperfect 
and should be planted with some perfect-flowering 
variety. We intend to plant Big Joe and Hustler 
together and we have confidence that this combina¬ 
tion will be a good one. A valuable feature of this 
variety is that it seems to please buyers on the large 
markets. Many other varieties will be passed by in 
order to get the Hustler. The accompanying illus¬ 
tration shows the shape and size of the berries. If 
growers really knew how good this was, we believe 
our large stock would be entirely sold out long before 
the shipping season begins. Price, $10 per 1,000. 
Uo ne « c Fruit is above medium in size and the 
- plants are immensely productive. 1 he 
color is a brilliant crimson clear through the berry. 
It is one of the most fragrant of Strawberries and 
the plants are free from rust and other diseases. 
Blossoms are pistillate and its season of ripening 
medium to late. It is a very fine berry for canning 
and preserving. Price. $3.50 per 1,000.

berries that are highly colored and almost perfectly 
round. The quality is very good but the extra- 
large size is the most prominent feature of the 
variety and when picked a basket of these berries 
is about as fancy as Strawberries can be. The intro¬ 
ducer says of it: “I regard it as the most beautiful 
Strawberry I have ever seen. Blossoms are strongly 
staminate and are held up by the foliage; the yield 
is enormous; berries are of immense size, truly 
mammoth, heart-shaped with blunt apex, and 
exceptionally uniform in shape and size; surface is 
smooth and of a most beautiful color; and the 
berries are of meaty texture which makes them less 
liable to ‘bleed’ when handled.” We recommend 
it for trial as a fancy, very large, late berry. See 
illustration below. Price, $5 per 1,000.
