WILLIAM BELT A New York and Pennsylvania 
Favorite 
In New York and Pennsylvania, the Wm. Belt, though an old favorite, still ranks as one of the biggest money¬ 
makers for market gardeners. Its appeal and salability continue and our sales of this variety increase every year.

This variety is not a “fad". It is here to stay. Its good size, fine flavor, and all-around 
good appearance are recognized by both growers and consumers. The fancy trade demands 
the Wm. Belt and will continue to do so for many years to come. 
It thrives in ordinary garden soil and produces good crops of fruit. Not adaptable to 
low, springy soil, because, under those conditions, it is subject to rust. 
WIL-SON 
This late fruiting offspring of the William Belt is especially 
adaptable for planting in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New 
York. 
Because this variety seems Only 50,000 
to thrive in almost any soil plants are 
it is ideal for the home gar- available, 
den as well as for the mar- Order early, 
ket-gardener. 
The fruit is extra large, rich red to the 
center, very firm and sweet, with the spicy 
William Belt flavor. 
In our trial plot, it equalled everything in 
quality and stood very near the top in pro¬ 
duction. 
WORLD'S WONDER. Here is a real cold- 
climate variety, adaptable particularly to 
culture in Maine, Vermont, New Hamp¬ 
shire dnd Northern New York. The largest 
berry grown, of good quality, moderately 
firm and very productive. Fine for home 
use and for sale at nearby markets where 
size is a distinct asset. 
BRANDYWINE. Subject to rust at fruiting 
time, producing large dark red fruit in 
large quantities, this variety is still a fav¬ 
orite in California and Florida as a late- 
bearing variety. 
WASHINGTON. Fair in flavor, though lack¬ 
ing the honey-sweet taste of better va¬ 
rieties, this is a very firm berry, only mod¬ 
erately productive. We recommend Chesa¬ 
peake or Town King in its place. 
SAMPLE. Large fruited, moderately firm, of 
bright red color and very productive. This 
variety is fast losing its popularity and is 
being outshone by the many newer and 
more marketable types.
