JOE JOHNSON. (Per.) 
This variety, also known as Big Joe is one of the most popular on any 
market and always sells well. The plants are very large and good growers. 
The blossoms are perfect and it produces a large amount of very beautiful, dark 
glossy red berries of moderate firmness and excellent quality. This variety is 
always in demand and for a near-by market is a money maker. Mid-season 
to late. 
CHESAPEAKE. (Per.) 
If you have a soil that is adapted to the Chesapeake it is without a doubt one 
of the most profitable of its season ever introduced. Its only fault is-that it is 
sometimes difficult to get good plant beds on some soils. However, the fruit is 
so large that it doesn’t require a great number of plants to produce an enormous 
quantity of fruit as all of the fruit the plants set grows to the largest size. Chesa¬ 
peake plants are perfectly healthy, large and deep-rooted. The plants bloom very 
late and are seldom injured by late frosts. The fruit is of the largest size, hand¬ 
some in appearance, of the finest quality and firm enough to carry well to distant 
markets and always sells for the highest market price. 
FRUITLAND. (Per.) 
A new early variety from Maryland and is well-liked wherever tried on this 
peninsula. I have fruited it four times and the fruit is large, firm, bright red 
and of good quality. The plants are good growers, large, with dark green foliage 
and not subject to any disease. Many who have been growing it for commercial 
purposes in Maryland claim it will yield as well as Premier and sell for better 
prices. It ripens early and runs into mid-season. I think it is well worth a trial 
by commercial growers who want an early variety. 
KELLOGG’S BIG LATE. (Imp.) 
In many sections this is one of the best late pistillate varieties. It is a splen¬ 
did grower in any soil and in all sections, free from rust and the bright glossy 
green foliage is easily told from other varieties. For best results do not plant 
it in very light soil for it fruits much better in stiff, swampy soil. It ranks with 
the most productive, the berries average large in size, bright glossy red, firm and 
of excellent quality. The beautifully shaped berries with a bright glossy red sur¬ 
face, and large green cap make Big Late sell for fancy prices. It is a dependable 
variety in either a wet or dry season and we have many good reports of it from 
different sections. 
WM. BELT. (Per.) 
This is a berry of the largest size and finest quality. It is a popular fancy 
variety that always sells for fancy prices. It is quite productive, fruit roundish 
conical and the color is a beautiful, bright glossy red. It rusts in some sections but 
is a favorite where it succeeds and is largely planted in many sections. It is one 
of the best for the home garden where quality is appreciated.
