HARRISONS’ NURSERIES 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES, continued 
SUPERB. This variety is well named, and it is often a question whether Superb 
is not the equal of Progressive. So far as growth is concerned the two are 
almost identical, but Superb does not bear such great clusters of fruit. Superb 
seems to be a better variety for the North than the South. It is a good va¬ 
riety for home-gardens or for growing on a large scale for market. The fruit 
is firm, ships well, and appeals to the buyer who caters to a high-class trade 
as well as to the consumer who likes to have delicious berries late in the year. 
See prices in regular list. 
Early Strawberries 
Early Ozark. Extra-good variety for first markets. Plants healthy, with 
many large deep red berries. The fruit that brings real money at the open¬ 
ing of the season. 
Excelsior. Early. ^ Large, firm, high colored, and well shaped. Immensely 
productive and will replace Mitchell’s Early wherever tried. Shape and color 
like a Wilson; plant is large and robust. 
Mitchell’s^ Early. Extra early. Healthy, rampant, many crowns; berries 
scarlet, rich, mild, acid. 
Campbell’s Early. This berry has “made a hit” with growers in New Jersey, 
who say it is productive and profitable. 
Climax. Extra early; large; dark red; conical, with glossy surface; prolific 
fruiter. 
Mid-Season Strawberries 
KLONDYKE. Berries uniform, shapely, rich dark red, mild and delic- 
---1 ious, very juicy, and handsome, sell quickly. Plants are 
tall, compact; stalks strong; leaves light green. Abundant runners and an un¬ 
usual number of crowns. Yields are wonderful. Blossoms are perfect but do 
not fully fertilize themselves ^ and need other sorts near. The name is sug¬ 
gestive of the results this variety brings—often a gold mine would fall behind 
this Strawberry in bringing profits. Our best-paying early berry. 
BUBACH. Large size and handsome color are its most valuable character¬ 
istics. Color is a beautiful bright red, neither dark nor light. Foliage is dark 
and waxy. Berries thick, meaty, fine grained, often weighing an ounce and a 
quarter each. Plants thrive in any soil and in any section, and have stout 
crowns, with very short stems. 
HAVERLAND. A mediurn-early variety of fine appearance. Berries are 
medium to large, rich, bright red, long and pointed, and very tempting in 
appearance. Will thrive in any soil and under almost all conditions; dark, 
leaves; lots of strong runners formed; crops are nearly always large, 
bhould be well pollenized by other kinds growing near. 
Lady Thompson. ^ Early._ Strong, upright plants root deeply; many long 
runners. Thrives in all soils, but best in rich loam or sand. Berries rnedium to 
large, regular, glossy pink, solid, meaty, excellent. 
Lupton. A berry that is in favor in northern markets; good size; bright color.

^ir produce twice as many crowns as other sorts. Parsons 
will thrive and is pooular nearly everywhere.
