POCKOMOKE — (Perfect Flowers.) 
The plant is very large, a most luxur¬ 
iant grower and remarkably productive. 
Mid-season in ripening. Its size is very 
large. In form it is conical, rather long 
and quite uniform in shape, except that 
the first berry on the fruit stalk is some¬ 
times misshapen, especially with high 
culture. The color is a brilliant glossy red. 
It ripens all over without green tips, 
rhe quality is better than is usually found 
in large berries. This is probably the 
largest yielder that has ever been intro¬ 
duced, and as it has no many desirable 
qualities it should have a place in every 
garden. A valuable variety for either 
home use or for market purposes. 
Price, 60 cents per hundred; $3.50 
per thousand. 
ABINGTON — Although a perfect 
flowered variety, it equals the prolific 
Bubach in yield, is brighter in color and 
much firmer. Plant of vigorous habit 
with dean, healthy foliage; berries are 
so large and attractive and the plants so 
very prolific it is a v ariety of great value — 
especially for market growing. Ripens in 
mid-season. 
Price, 60 cents per hundred; $3.50 
per thousand. 
BRANDYWINE — (Perfect). Season 
medium to late. One of the heaviest 
fruiters and a splendid shipper. Berries 
very large, deep red to center; stem short 
and stout, holds its great load of berries 
well up from the ground. One of the 
strongest pollenizers for pistillates. 
Price, 60 cents per hundred; $3.50 
per thousand. 
Golden Gate 
GOLDEN GATE — A great straw¬ 
berry for many reasons. First, it is the 
biggest berry; second, it is the brightest 
oiul best in color; third, it is a great 
yielder and producer; fourth, and the 
most jm nor I ant of all, the foliage is 
exceedingly vigorous and leathery, re¬ 
sisting fungus anil drought. 
Plantations of them continue in bearing 
longer than any other variety. 
Price, 75 cents per hundred. 
SAMPLE (Imperfect) —Without ex¬ 
ception the best and most profitable 
market variety, universally planted by 
the commercial berry grower. There 
is not a weak spot in it. Fruit is of large 
size, fine quality, quite firm, large to the 
last, coloring all over at once. Plants 
are vigorous growers, needing no petting 
and continuing a long time in fruit. 
Price, 60 cents per hundred; $3.50 
per thousand.
