MC NICOL’S PLANT NURSERY.. R. 1, LEWES, DEL. 
SOUTHLAND. Originated by the Department of Agriculture. It is 
hoped it will fill the need for a high quality berry for the home markets of 
the South. It is not considered firm enough to stand shipping long distances. 
The berries are early, large and of good quality, which cannot be said of the 
varieties grown in the south for the markets of the north, such as Missionary, 
Klondyke, etc. 
BEAUTY. A midseason, perfect flowered berry of great beauty. Smooth 
berries of light color. Not as firm as some, but nice for nearby market. We 
are sorry, but we believe Beauty is disappointing in some locations and we 
cannot recommend it for commercial planting in the south. Try a few on 
your land for home use and fancy, roadside marketing. 
BIG JOE. Midseason, strong growth, firm, large, good flavor. Under 
favorable conditions it will yield a good crop. It is adversely affected by late 
frosts. 
CHESAPEAKE. A beautiful, firm, large, glossy, attractive berry. It 
seems at home in the New England and middle Atlantic States. A great late 
market berry. On suuitable soil in a fertile condition this is one berry that 
you will be glad to grow. 
GREENWOOD. The long keeping berry. A seedling selected from 
thousands grown by C. E. Bowman, near Greenwood, Del. This is a late 
berry, large to very large, glossy bright red, of superior flavor and will sell 
in any market. The most outstanding quality of this beautiful berry is its 
long keeping qualities. The introducer is willing to make an affidavit that 
he picked a quart basket of this variety and placed it under an apple tree 
and one week later not ovr ten berries were unfit for market. During the 
week there were two light rains. This berry will keep several days longer 
than Blakemore under similar conditions and Blakemore is considered one of 
the longest keeping varieties. It is an early berry while Greenwood is late. 
This will give a long shipping season and be sure to secure some of the better 
prices. We believe that Greenwood will equal, or replace some of the good 
late varieties such as Gandy, Lupton and Chesapeake. We are anxious to 
have this superior berry tried in all sections of the country, so are making 
the price low and at the same rate regardless of the quantity ordered. 
For best results put in Strawberry plants early.
