Strawberries. continued 
CHLLLIE/. entirely new berry, now first olTered. I have not fruited it, but was 
-;- so favorably impressed with it last season as to plant quite a large block. With 
me it is only a moderate plant-maker, but each plant is so strong and stockv and lias so many fruit- 
crowns that I judge it is going to be very productive here. One who knows it best writes : 
"This plant has a perfect blossom, is a strong grower, free runner, clear of rust, very pro 
ductive, and a sure bearer, the fruit ripening midseason to late. The large, symmetrically shaped 
berry, with a fresh green caly.'c, is a bright, glossy red ; coloring all over aiul having no green 
point. It presents a strikingly attractive appearance throughout the season. It is of firm te.vture 
and superior fiavor, resembling that of the wild Strawberry; in short, it appears so perfect in every 
way that it is quite certain to become a leading variety." Productiveness, large size, beauty and 
high qtialitv are valuable points to combine in one berry. Chellie ought, therefore, to become very 
popular. Price, 50 cts. per doz., $1.25 for 50, $2 per too. 
CLYDE/. Clyde IS a perfect-blooming plant of rather more than moderate vigor, with light 
-: - green foliage, wonderfully productive of large to very large, smooth, globular 
berries, every one as perfect and shapely as the pointed end of an egg; the berries are a light, 
bright scarlet color, with pink flesh of mild and pleasant flavor, moderately firm on some soils 
and (luile soft on others. It is seldom suitable for long-distance shipment, yet a great money¬ 
maker in near-by markets, and a bountiful provider for the family. It is such a productive 
variety and throws up so many fruit-stalks that it sometimes forgets to make enough foliage to 
shade its enormous load of berries. A winter mulch of horse-stable manure, or a little nitrate of 
soda in spring before fruiting, stimulates foliage and adds to its value. Thrives on any soil, e.vccpt 
liglu dry sand. Price, 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. for 50, 75 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
Dunlap. 
Not since the advent of Crescent 
has any Strawberry shown such 
_ remarkable adaptability to all va- 
riety of soils and climate as the 
Dunlap, a real old standby for home use or market. 
Iv.vtremely vigorous and healthy plant-maker, with an 
abundance of heavy fruit - stalks; a perfect bloomer, 
strongly staminate, so that each bloom develops well- 
formed, perfect berries of large size, pointed globular and 
sometimes conical. Bright, glossy red, firm and solid, 
and so very productive as to attract attention of all as a 
great cropper. Matthew Crawford, the noted Strawberry 
e.xpert of Ohio, says: ‘‘Dunlap is in a class above Clvde, 
Ilaverland and Bubach, a sort of ‘ Everylx)dy’s Business 
Strawberry.’" Price, 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. for 50, 75 
cts per 100, $2 for 500, $3 per 1,000. 
E/XCE/LSIOR. A host of e.xtra-early Strawberries 
-;- have been originated the past 
twenty years, including some of very high ciuality; the 
medium- to large-sized ones have been unproductive, and 
the productive ones are usually small and unsatisfactory. 
In Excelsior, however, we have a perfect-blooming 
plant of great vigor that thrives well on all soils, -^ry 
productive of medium-to large-sized, rich dark red ber¬ 
ries of perfect globular form ; all the berries are perfectly 
developed, showing results of thorough pollination. The 
flesh is a deep bright red all the way through, very acid, 
and takes considerable sugar to make it acceptable to 
those who do not like acid fruit. Yet there is a sprightli¬ 
ness about it that is very refreshing, especially as Excel¬ 
sior yields enormous quantities of berries long before any other very productive variety begins to 
ripen. It is a grand, early money-maker, and many of my customers pronounce it their most 
profitable variety. Price, 25 cts. pdr doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
DUNL..\P. 
QANDY. A perfect-blooming, stocky plant of moderate vigor. Of late years it is becoming 
-- more productive, yielding even from 4.000 to 6,000 quarts per acre on heavy, moist 
loam or mucky lands. Every year the demand for Gandy plants increases: never yet have we 
"been able to supply all demands. It is the best shipping, long-keeping variety known, and is as 
late as the latest of the well-tested kinds. Price, 25 cis. per doz., 50 cts for 50, 75 cts. per 100 
^3 per 1,000. ’ 
DON’T LET THAT MAN FOOL YOU 
and the family any longer about the family fruit supply. Me may mean well enough in his talk. 
This spring, right now, is the time for him to do something in the way of planting. Your land is 
nil right, everything is all right, excejit the man ; he is too promising.
