MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
BIG JOE (Perfect)—There is no mid-season berry that we 
can recommend more for a running mate with Howard 17 than 
Big Joe. This variety does well on all soils but responds quickly 
to good care and fertility. It comes in with big red berries 
when some of the early varieties are dropping down. The plant 
is a vigorous grower, very healthy and very productive. The 
berries are large in size with an attractive green cap which in¬ 
creases their appearance. Anyone who can get a premium for 
fancy berries should include some of this variety in their order. 
50 for 75c; 100 for $1.00; 250 for $2.25; 500 for $3.50; 1,000 
for $6.00. 
ABERDEEN (Perfect)—We believe that this is a coming 
berry for growers who are near to their market. After five 
years of fruiting we are highly pleased with its behaviour. It 
is a good plant producer, with clean healthy foliage, standing 
up well off the ground. The fruit is large and the vines are 
literally covered with bright red berries. We have tried it on 
different soils and wherever planted it seems to be at home. 
The berries are of a light type and we do not recommend it 
when the market is very far from your farm. It is a mid-season 
to late berry and we can recommend it as one of the best. 
50 for 75c; 100 for $1.00; $2.50 for $2.25; 500 for $3.50; 1,000 
for $6.00. 
CORSICAN (Perfect)—After fruiting and testing over fifty 
varieties we have never found any berry as sweet as the Corsi¬ 
can. Those who do not like an acid berry will do well to plant 
some of this variety. We would not recommend it for com¬ 
mercial use, but for a home garden by all means include some 
plants of this variety. It is a mid-season variety. The fruit 
is large to very large. The color is bright crimson and it is 
productive. Old customers send for this variety each year, as 
after once fruiting it you will want more. 
50 for 75c; 100 for $1.00; 250 for $2.50; 500 for $3.75; 1,000 
for $6.00.
