B ero is a New Everbearing Strawberry that grows freely from 
seed and will fruit the first summer. The seed can be sown early in the 
spring in the house or hot bed and will soon produce young plants: seed 
can be sown later in open garden if desired. The plants grow very fast 
and in a short time will be large enough to transplant in the garden. If 
the seed is sown by March the plants will begin to bloom early in July 
ai J® m from two to three weeks will begin to bear ripe fruit. 
1 he valuable point about this New Kerry is that from the time the 
first ripe fruit appears they continue to fruit until late in the fall. The 
Kerries are not quite so large as garden varieties, but they are much

count of their delicate fragrance. They are enormous yielders, single 
plants having produced over half pint of Kerries at one picking as late

ing from the seed. We know all our customers will be very much inter-

Vegetable Orange 
This is a splendid novelty of recent introduction 
handsome in color and appearance and an enorm¬ 
ous yielder. As shown, vines of this Vegetable 
Orange are smaller than a Musk Melon vine, but 
they require about the same cultivation. It is a 
wonderful yielder, producing fruit about the size 
of an Orange of a bright yellow color, somewhat 
russeted. In the west where fruit is scarce, this 
Orange is rapidly becoming popular. For sweet 
pickles, pies or preserves they are splendid and it 
can be used in many ways. Pkt., 5c., 3 pkts.,

The Northern Lemon 
I This is a groat vegetable novelty and certainly deserves a place in the gar¬ 
den. It somewhat resembles the Vegetable Orange in manner of growth, but 
is distinct, as the unripe fruit is striped with very dark green stripes, and when 
ripe is not so yellow as the Vegetable Orange. The fruit is the shape as shown 
in the illustration, but a little larger than the Vegetable Orange. It has fine 
flesh and is of good flavor and unexcelled for general canning purposes. It 
should be cultivated the same as Musk Melons and it is such an enormous 
yielder that it will prove a very profitable crop to grow for market purposes 
and it is sure to give great satisfaction for family use. Grow this unique 
novelty. Pkt., 5c„ 3 pkt., 12c.. 6 pkts., 20c.

may be used nearly all the year around, requiring only water in dry localities 
to keep it growing. It is a very fine variety, bright crimson stalks. The qual¬
