Lester Lovett. (Extra Late.) “Lester Lovett” pos¬ 
sesses all of the valuable characteristics of the “Gandy” 
with added lateness. It is a veritable giant in every 
particular; the berries are globular or slightly conical, 
very large and of uniform perfect shape, holding large 
to the end of the season, two weeks after other late 
varieties. 
Success. (Early.) A grand, very large, early berry. 
Globular, slightly conical, bright scarlet; flavor always 
fine, mild, rich and sweet. A grand variety for the home 
garden. 
Marie. (Late.) Vigorous and productive as “Cres¬ 
cent,” large and shapely like “Cumberland.” In all good 
characteristics the “Marie” rates with the best Straw¬ 
berries; close, smooth, bright berries, uniformly large. 
Uncle Jim or Dornan. (Midseason to Late.) A new 
western Strawberry that is attracting much attention for 
its superior merits. Plants remarkably robust with large 
healthy foliage. It is a big and reliable producer of 
extra large berries—very uniformly heart shaped—of a 
bright beautiful red color and of high quality. 
Price for the New. Strawberries, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 
100, $20.00 per 1,000. 
From our extensive collection we have selected the varieties 
offered as the best for general use. They were transplanted into cold 
frames in the fall, and if planted out any time before May 5th, will, 
under proper conditions, fruit some the present year. 
All the varieties offered are perfect flowering (bisexual) except 
where marked P or Pistillate. The latter must have a row of a 
perfect flowering sort every nine or twelve feet to pollenize their blos¬ 
soms. 
TRANSPLANTED PLANTS. 
N ew famil y Strawberry, RELIANCE. 
This is a seedling of “Mary” crossed with “Marshall.” It was selected 
from amongst several thousand seedlings, its enormous size and 
healthy, vigorous growth having arrested the attention of the origi¬ 
nator. It is a perfect flowered variety, ripens with the “Marshall” 
and has a long season. This is only one of its valuable traits. 
The Fruit resembles the “Mary” in shape, but larger and heavier. 
It is remarkably uniform in shape for such a large berry. 
The Quality is unsurpassed, juicy, luscious, solid to the center, the 
flavor being what is generally known as “mild.!’ 
The Color is dark crimson, very glossy and attractive, remarkably 
even all over the berry,"never showing a white tip. 
The Growth is excellent; large, deep green, handsome foliage. The 
fruit is borne on strong stalks and in great profusion, as may be seen 
in the cut, which is a photograph of a plant in the field. 
Price, 60c. per doz., $4.00 per 100, $30.00 per 1,000.
