ISLAND KING. —A seedling from Canada of the Lovett 
—so popular in some sections as a market variety. It 
ripens early and is an exceedingly vigorous grower, like 
its parent. Berries medium to large, bright crimson 
color, fine shape and firm. It has an unique and very 
pleasant flavor—quite distinct from any other variety. 
Doz., 25c; 100, 75c. 
PINEAPPLE. —A delicious variety, having the true sweet 
strawberry flavor mingled with that of the Pineapple. It 
is a beautiful, firm berry, too, of large size and a great 
cropper—-globular smooth surface and rich crimson color. 
Its Pineapple character is so pronounced it is readily 
detected in its odor as well as flavor. Valuable alike 
for the home garden and market. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 
1000, $5.00. 
ST. LOUIS. —A very valuable extra early variety. The 
berries are conical, of good size (for an early sort), 
bright flame color and of sweet luscious quality. An 
extra vigorous clean grower and very prolific. It is also 
exceptionally firm and the fruit is borne on long stems, 
rendering picking an easy task. It gave us ripe berries 
on May 22d, a week in advance of almost all other 
varieties. Doz., 25c; 100, 60c; 1000, $4.00. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. —For quarts, quarts, quarts, this 
variety has indeed few equals. And the berries are at¬ 
tractive and very firm. It has become exceedingly popu¬ 
lar, particularly throughout the west and southwest. The 
plant is not of great size, but exceedingly vigorous, bright 
and clean and full of business. Senator Dunlap belongs 
to the Warfield type, but is a better berry than Warfield 
in every way; a better plant, a stronger grower and the 
berries are larger and firmer. Ripens in midseason. 
Doz., 25c; 100, 60c; 1000, $4.00. 
SILVER COIN. —A variety that unites desirable prop¬ 
erties to a remarkable degree, viz., beautiful color, 
luscious quality, large size, uniformity of size, form and 
color, pretty shape, firm texture, vigorous, healthy plant 
and great productiveness. The shape is bluntly conical, 
color brilliant flame red; ripens in midseason. Doz., 
25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $5.00. 
STEVENS’ LATE CHAMPION. —A descendant of the 
grand old Gandy, similar in habit but more prolific by far. 
It ripens late, and is similar to the Gandy in many re¬ 
spects, except that it yields nearly or quite twice as many 
quarts of berries upon a given space and the berries are 
not so uniform in size and shape and by no means so 
handsome. The most prolific and profitable of the late 
varieties for market growing and a valuable sort for the 
home garden. Doz., 25c; 10C, 75c; 1000, $5.00. 
SUPERIOR ( Early Improved ).—A greatly improved 
form of the old Superior, itself a most popular and 
profitable variety in many sections. Improved Early 
Superior is among the very earliest to ripen and con¬ 
tinues in fruit until the close of the season and is a 
sure cropper under all conditions and upon all soils. 
Berries are of good size, bright red with seeds upon the 
surface; remarkably firm, especially for an early variety 
and of excellent quality. Plant of strong growth with 
dark green glossy leaves and very prolific. Doz., 25c; 
100 , $ 1 . 00 , 
THREE W’S. —A Tennessee variety that has made many 
friends in all parts of the country and is rapidly gaining 
popularity. And well it may, for it is so sweet it can be 
enjoyed without sugar, an abundant bearer of large, 
beautiful berries for a very long season—from early mid¬ 
season until the latest—and is remarkably firm. The 
color is deep crimson throughout. The texture is so 
meaty and the surface so strong it can be kept longer 
after picked and shipped a greater distance in good con¬ 
dition, than almost any other variety. Doz., 25c; 100 
75c; 1000, $5.00.

The Strawberries I purchased from you some five or six 
years ago and planted at Readfield, Maine, did well.

U. S. KING EDWARD. —Originated in Ohio and is de¬ 
scribed by a grower in Massachusetts as follows: “It is 
the rich man’s berry, poor man’s berry, lazy man’s berry 
and the market man’s berry. If one wishes to grow the 
largest number of quarts to the acre and has to sell at 
low prices, this is the berry to grow every time. It is 
not one of those large coarse, over large berries, but of 
uniform size throughout the season; indeed, every berry 
looks as though they were all run in the same mould. 
They are a very attractive light scarlet color. * * * 
The plant is a strong staminate variety and is just loaded 
with fruit. Quarts, quarts, quarts; as thick as culti¬ 
vated Cranberries. It is a mortgage lifter. Unfortun¬ 
ately, there are two strawberries by this name, King 
Edward. One originated in England and the best one in 
America. You want the U. S. King Edward because it 
is the best.” Doz., 25c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00, 
WILLIAM BELT.—Of all the Strawberries grown in the 
United States, this variety doubtless excels in popularity 
to-day. The plant is a vigorous, though not a rampant 
grower, succeeds upon almost all soils, and invariably 
yields very heavily and the berries are always of large 
size and high quality. Its flesh is solid and meaty, deep 
crimson in color, while the blossoms are large, with 
abundance of pollen. It begins to ripen quite early and 
continues until almost the close of the season; the last 
berries being large, handsome and full flavored. Indeed, 
it is a king among Strawberries, as it is firm and among 
the largest—many of the berries being of great size and 
gives large pickings for a longer period than almost 
any other variety. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $5.00. 
STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 
Of herbaceous habit, with a mass of deep green foliage 
and large, fragrant, pure white blossoms. It produces 
ripe berries from early in July until frost. These are 
sparkling crimson, of globular shape and often of great 
size. In the fresh state the fruit lacks flavor; when 
cooked, however, it is excellent. Mixed with such varie¬ 
ties as the Cardinal Raspberry and cooked, it is simply 
delicious. Doz., $1.25; 100, $6.00 By mail at dozen 
rates if preferred. 
Pe. William Co., Va., Feb. 8, 1911. 
Twenty-three years ago I bought small fruits and straw¬ 
berries from you and never have I had such perfect satis¬ 
faction in plants. So please send me your catalog. The 
first I bought from you are still bearing in the home

The Strawberry and St. Regis Raspberry plants I got 
from you last spring have grown so finely, despite the 
severe drought of the summer, that I am induced to send 
the enclosed order. W. E. Arnold. 
Fauquier Co., Va., Feb. 15, 1911. 
I got some small fruit plants from you last spring 
which have done very well in spite of the prolonged 
drought of last summer. (Mrs.) W. W. Drake
