IMPROVED HEFLIN. Grows with great vigor on any type of soil and 
will always set a full crop regardless of whether the land on which it is grown 
is rich or poor. In fact we have never seen any that does so well on thin soils 
as it does. At the same time it responds recklessly to good treatment. Its 
weaknesses are its lack of firmness and tendency to grow too thick, and to 
sufTer frost damage. It is not popular for shipment. In a few localities no 
other kind equals Heflin for profit, as it is the earliest variety in existence, 
being four or five days earlier than Premier, and setting a large part of its 
enormous crop to ripen the first of the season. 
KLONDYKE 
KLONDYKE. Found valuable, not for the quantity of fruit it produces 
but from the fact that what it bears is of such fine appearance and shipping 
quality that it will command the top of the market always. It has a strong, 
staminate blossom which makes it satisfactory as a pollenizer. It is not 
tremendously productive, but bears a very fair crop, and the berries are re¬ 
markably uniform in size, shape and appearance, and of extra fine quality. 
It begins to ripen about three days after the earliest kinds and continues in 
beaiing through a long season. One of the most vigorous growers on the list. 
LUPTON. To the man who wishes to grow really fancy berries we 
unhesitatingly recommend the Lupton. It is every whit as handsome 
as the justly famous Chesapeake, and is so much superior to that kind 
some as the justly famous Chesapeake, and is so much superior to that kind 
in vigor of plant growth that we urge all who have a fancy trade to supply 
to at least give Lupton a trial. The fruit is very firm and extremely hand¬ 
some, in fact we do not know of any kind in existance today that shows up to 
better advantage when crated, and it is as productive as any kind we have 
ever grown that was a real fancy berry. It is a perfect flowering kind and is 
suitable for pollenization purposes if needed, ripening early midseason. It 
is not a rampant plant-maker, but has never failed to make a good bed for us 
and theplants are heavily rooted and full of vigor. We say again if you want 
a strictly fancy berry plant Lupton, but we do not advise that it be planted 
on any but a good, rich soil.
