and fine for shipping. Twenty-five for 
35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 
Barrymore (Per.)—A new straw¬ 
berry that comes from Massachusetts. 
The plants are fine growers, reminding 
for average soils and no berry will give 
such returns on light, poor, sandy soils. 
It is essentially the poor man’s berry. 
Twenty-five for 25c; 100, $1.00; 1,000, 
$S.00. ' 
We Advise Ordering Early This Year as Many Varieties 
one of Marshall in this respect. The 
berries are very large, deep rich red 
outside and inside, and have the very 
finest flavor. It is hoped that Barry¬ 
more will prove to be what Norwood 
promised to be — a very large straw¬ 
berry of exquisite flavor that could be 
produced in sufficient quantities to make 
it pay. Twenty-five plants for 75c; 100 
for $2.00; 1000, $10.00. 
Oswego (Per.)—We sell more plants 
every year of this than of any other 
mid-season variety, which is a good in¬ 
dication of its popularity. The plants 
are strong growers, making a moderate 
number of runners, which are inclined 
to bunch the young plants together if 
not spread out carefully. It succeeds 
best on dry soil, and I have seen enor¬ 
mous crops growing on soil too poor 
to produce profitable crops of most oth¬ 
er varieties. The plants are very large, 
light colored and root very deeply. 
The berries are long, wedge shaped, 
light colored on one side and of a 
deeper color next to the sun, but no 
white tips. The flavor is mild and the 
flesh is meaty and of much substance. 
It is enormously productive and bears 
good crops from year to year, produc¬ 
ing, in some cases, better crops the sec¬ 
ond and third years than the first. I 
know of no better mid-season variety 
Rough Rider (Per.)—One of the 
very latest berries in cultivation. Plants 
healthy and good growers, very pro¬ 
ductive. Berries medium to large, 
roundish, deep dark red through and 
through, very firm and fine for canning 
and shipping long distances. Twenty- 
five for 50c; 100, $2.00; 1000, $10.00.

Gandy (Per.)—The standard late 
strawberry. Plants are fair growers 
with runners long and far between 
plants. The berries are large, very firm |
