same report comes to us from many other states. Many growers 
report 75 per cent of a loss on all varieties other than the Bell- 
mar which they say have stood the summer heat nearly 100 
per cent. 
Appearance: The berries are a glossy luscious bright red. 
Their bright green cap gives them a very effective appearance. 
This together with their large size makes one of the most 
beautiful berries we have ever grown. 
WALLER BROTHERS consider the Bellmar a valuable ad¬ 
dition to the long list of good strawberries. We sincerely 
recommend it to our customers. Read some of the testimonials 
received from our customers as to what they think of this 
great variety. 
BELLMAR 
A NEW FANCY EARLY 
SHIPPING BERRY 
BELLMAR, like the Blakemore, is a 
recent introduction of the United States 
Department of Agriculture. It is a 
scientific cross between the Premier 
and the Missionary, and the resulting 
berry, according to many reliable 
sources, is considerably higher in dessert 
quality than either the Premier or the 
Missionary, and is of a better quality 
than the Premier. 
The new Bellmar has a number of 
qualities which make it outstanding in 
any list of strawberries. Since its in¬ 
troduction in 1922, this berry has been 
tried in almost every state in the Union, 
and from no strawberry growing dis¬ 
trict has there come a report of its 
failure. In some instances this berry 
has been reported to yield as high as 
5,000 quarts to the acre. 
Quoting from Circular No. 171, United 
States Department of Agriculture, July, 
1931: “As compared with Premier the 
plants are more vigorous and produce 
more freely; the blossoms are perfect, ripening almost a week 
earlier than Premier and fruits about as long. In Glendale, 
Maryland, it has been more productive than Premier and pro¬ 
duced a better grade of berries, and on good soil the berries 
are fully as large; color bright red, similar to Premier but not 
as dark as Missionary. They have a very large green calyx and 
a gloss which has caused it to be selected as the handsomest 
among hundreds. They are firmer than Premier and not so acid 
as Missionery. They rank high in dessert quality when grown 
under proper conditions . 9 ’ 
The Bellmar plant growth is vigorous, of a bright glossy 
green color and with us we find it will withstand more summer 
heat and drouth than any variety we have ever grown. The 
GANDY 
The Old Standby 
This is one of the old favorites which has been planted 
for the past thirty years, and according to many growers, has 
not been bettered for a late variety. 
In color, texture, and quality the Gandy ranks near the top. 
It is a good shipping berry and if planted with Aroma, will 
produce a fair yield. 
The Gandy blossoms late and is seldom injured by frost. Its 
plant growth is strong and abundant, its foliage heavy and of 
dark green color. To anyone who understands fruiting the 
imperfect blossoming berries we recommend the Gandy for a 
late variety.

Gentlemen: 
I set two acres of your plants in March, 1936, and last year 
I picked 486 24-quart crates. Not a skip in a single row. 
Yours very truly,

EXCELSIOR 
The Earliest Strawberry 
The Excelsior is the most favored extra-early strawberry 
that we have ever produced. However, in many respects it will 
not measure up to the Champion K. 
The Excelsior fruit is juicy, dark red in color, and of high 
dessert quality. The plants are vigorous with ample foliage to 
shade them throughout the growing and fruiting season. 
This variety has stood the test of twenty years steady set¬ 
ting by market gardeners.

The plants bought of you last year are really fine and the 
remarkable thing about it is that I actually harvested 25 gallons 
of berries last year after setting them. My patch is white with 
bloom and looks fine. Yours very truly,
