some but each plant la able to produce a fine 
crop of berrlea. The fruit ia very large, attrac¬ 
tive and very firm, poaaibly the flrraeat atravr- 
berry grown and therefore very dealrable for ship¬ 
ping and market. It la driving out the old Qandy 
and other late ones In New Jersey and other 
places where it ia largely grown. Price, 26. 75c; 
100. 12.00: 1000, 515. 
Sample. (Imp.) Plants good growers and very pro¬ 
ductive. Berrlea very large, regular in shape, 
light colored and moderately Arm. One of the 
very beat of the old varieties for growing ror 
market where Quantity ia wanted. The fruit 
averages unusually large and it ia unaurpaaaed in 
productiveness. Price, 26, 75e; lOO, $2.00: 1000.

Brandywine. (Per.) Thia kind la particular to soil, 
wanting a dry or sandy aoil. but la not particu¬ 
lar to location. It thrives in some places in the 
Noz^h and in California and Florida aa well as 
other places where the soil is congenial. The 
plants are not healthy on some moist soils. The 
fruit is very large, dark colored, very Arm and 
attractive when well grown. The Sean is aeep 
red clear through the berry. Brandywine and 
Wm. Belt seem to do well in the same location 
but do not thrive in all places. Price, 26. 60c; 
100 , 51 . 60 ; 1000 , $ 11 . 
C'hesapeake iPer.) This variety has enormous plants 
of the very finest appearance. Berries very large, 
regular in shape, oblong, glossy and attractive. 
Not as productive as some but the berries out- 
.sell all other varieties. It is to late strawberries 
what the Marshall is to early ones. When shipped 
from this county to New York City the past sea¬ 
son, the Chesapeake sold as high as 526.00 for 
1 bushel crate. Price, 26. 76c; 100, 52.00; 1000, 511. 
Stevens’ Lttte Champion. (Per.) This variety is mor* 
largely grown in this county (Oswego) for ship¬ 
ment to New York and other cities than any 
other kind. The principal reason why It is grown 
is that it is a good shipper. A crate of them 
weighs less than of most any other variety and 
because thay have less moisture in them and 
more calyx or hull, they weigh less. The plants 
are very thrifty grower.^ and do well on either 
moist or dry soil and do not seem to reQulre the 
attention and fertility that most other kinds re¬ 
quire. The berries are medium to large In slse. 
shaped irregular, eoxcombed and rather ugly In 
appearance. The flavor Is Inferior. They are 
fairly productive and last until very late In the 
season. The herry Is so dry that 11 will not spoil 
if left on the vines longer than others. 1 have 
known them to go for nearly a week and then 
be in good condition for the local markets. J

<>len Mary. (Per.) The plants of Qien Mary are 
very large and thrifty when grown on congenial 
soil. They do not do well on clay or heavy tena¬ 
cious wet soils of any kind. Sandy or gravelly 
soils, well drained, seem most congenial for mem. 
The berries are irregular in shape, not very at¬ 
tractive, having white tips, but are produced in 
great abundance very late in the season. It la 
claimed by many to be the largest and most pro¬ 
ductive late strawberry In existence. The flavor 
is rather poor. The Olen Mary, Brandywine and 
Wm. Belt all require about the same conditions. 
The Qlen Mary is more largely used In this section 
for late market. Price. 26. 76c; 150, 52 . 00 : 1000 . 
Ilk 
have seen them grow and do well on soil# seem¬ 
ingly too poor to grow white beans. I hav* 
seen enormous crops of them grown on rich moist 
soil when the plants were so thick M would seem 
Impossible for them to fruit so heavily. Price. 
'‘6. 60c; 100. 51.60; 1000, 512 . 
Mascot. (Per.) This Is a berry of the Oandy type, 
the plants closely resembling that famous old 
variety. The berries are exceedingly large, firm 
and of rich dark color, very glossy and attractive. 
The past season (1921) it proved out to be the 
very latest strawberry fruited In this section. One 
year we picked them at the rate of 42 bushsls 
to the acre July 12th and they sold readily at 
llo per quart whisb was 2 to 6c per quart above
