W. S. TODD, GREENWOOD, DELAWARE 
FRUITLAND. (Per.) 
An early variety that originated in Maryland and is well-liked wherever 
tried on this Peninsula. I have fruited it several times and the fruit is large, 
firm, bright red and of good quality. The plants are good growers, large, with 
dark green foliage and not subject to any disease. Many who have been 
growing it for commercial purposes in Maryland claim it will yield as well as 
Premier and sell for better prices. It ripens early and runs into mid-season. 
It is larger than many of the early varieties and I believe it is well worth a trial 
by commercial growers. 
JOE JOHNSON. (Per.) 
This variety, also known as Big Joe is one of the most popular on any 
market and the fruit always sells well. The plants are very large and good 
growers. The blossoms are perfect and the plants produce a large amount of 
very beautiful, dark glossy red berries of moderate firmness and excellent quality. 
This variety is always in demand and for a near-by market is a money maker. 
Mid-season to late. 
GIBSON. 
One of the best growers of large healthy plants and is a favorite with many 
large commercial growers in many sections. The fruit is of large size, dark red, 
and the plants are loaded with fruit, you will hardly understand how plants 
can produce such quantities of fruit which is of good quality and firm enough 
for a good shipper. The fruit stalks are strong and upright which keeps the 
fruit from the ground where it is easy to pick. Growers who plant Gibson will 
not be disappointed for it is one of the most reliable. This variety is also known 
as Parsons Beauty. 
AROMA. (Per.) 
One of the best late mid-season to late varieties grown and in some sections 
where a specialty is made of late fancy berries Aroma is the only late variety 
grown. It is one of the most productive of large, dark-red berries which are 
of fine quality, firm and very good shippers, sells for fancy prices and is a money 
maker. It is a good grower and one of the best to plant with late pistillate 
varieties. 
KELLOGG’S BEAUTY. (Per.) 
Described by the introducers “As the most beautiful and best keeping late 
berry on record. The berries are so large and beautiful they fairly sparkle. One 
of the tallest plants we have ever grown and very productive. The berries are 
large enough to please the most exacting buyer.” 
As grown here for several years it makes enough large, tall, healthy plants 
with coarse foliage for a good fruiting bed. I do not recommend it for light 
soil but for any other it is very productive of very large beautiful fruit of good 
quality, and is firm enough for a commercial variety. I find it is becoming more 
popular in many sections each year and for anyone who has never given it a 
trial and wants a variety of its season it is well worth trying.
