IMPROVED HEFLIN. Grows with great vigor on any type of soil and 
will always set a full crop regardless of whether the land on which it is grown 
is rich or poor. In fact we have never seen any that does so well on thin soils 
as it does. At the same time it responds recklessly to good treatment. Its 
weaknesses are its lack of firmness and tendency to grow too thick, and to 
suffer frost damage. It is not popular for shipment. In a few localities no 
other kind equals Heflin for profit, as it is the earliest variety in existence, 
being four or five days earlier than Premier, and setting a large part of its 
enormous crop to ripen the first of the season. 
A Basket of Lupton Strawberries. 
KLONDYKE. Found valuable, not for the quantity of fruit it produces 
but from the fact that what it bears is of such fine appearance and shipping 
quality that will command the top of the market. It has a strong, 
staminate blossom which makes it satisfactory as a pollenizer. It is not 
tremendously productive, but bears a very fair crop, and the berries are re¬ 
markably uniform in size, shape and appearance, and of extra fine quality. 
It begins to ripen about three days after the earliest kinds and continues in 
bearing through a long season. One of the most vigorous growers on the list. 
LUPTON. To the man who wishes to grow really fancy berries we 
suggest the Lupton. It is a perfect flowering kind and is suitable for 
pollenization purposes if needed, ripening early midseason. It s not a ram¬ 
pant plant-maker, but has never failed to make a good bed for us and the 
plants are heavily rooted. We do not advise that it be planted on any but a 
good, rich soil, and even then that should be amply fertilized for best results. 
Not nearly so popular as a few years ago. Not recommended for general 
planting. Does well in a few localities. 
MISSIONARY. Grown almost exclusively in the South, where it still 
continues one of the most popular varieties. It is early, productive, a good 
vigorous grower and is very popular in the markets, on account of its re¬ 
markable keeping qualities. Probably the very best for canning that is grown.
