Plants like these giv4 a good start 
to a successful crop. 
HAVERLAND. It is a heavy yielder, and can be depended upon 
to bring up a crop every season. If you have any berries at all, you 
are sure to have Haverland. It is one of the toughest and strongest 
growers on our list. The berry is fair size, long-conical, firm and 
a fair shipper, and it never rusts. Not so popular as it once was, but 
a wonderful berry in some places still, though Premier has about 
displaced it in many, if not most localities. 
McALPIN. One of the greatest growers I have ever seen, doing 
well on light poor soil, in fact will grow anywhere. It is a fine shipper 
and brings the top of the market. Very productive of medium to 
large, scarlet colored, perfectly formed berries and unsurpassed in 
quality. I recommend McAlpin to all who want a vigorous growing 
productive and fine looking strawberry. It is a good medium late 
variety. You can plant it with confidence. 
PAUL JONES. One of the most productive varieties on the en¬ 
tire list. On all soils, light or heavy, rich or poor, it brings the crop. 
It is a good, vigorous grower, making plenty of plants. It has an 
imperfect blossom and should be planted with Big Joe, Aroma or 
Premier. Berries large, of good appearance, and ship well. If you 
want a good crop plant Paul Jones.
