One of Buntings’ fields of bay-shore grown, golden rooted strawberry plants, free from disease, strong and sturdy. 
HOWARD 17. This variety is the same as Premier. 
One of the best early varieties. 
LUCKY STRIKE. (Perfect.) A fairly heavy bearer; 
berries good quality and appearance; not a very vig' 
orous grower. One of the best everbearing varieties 
on the market. 
LATE GIANT. (Perfect.) Berries are dark red all the 
way through and honey sweet, firm and of extra 
good quality. Heavy cropper. Ripens about the 
middle of June. 
MARSHALL. (Imperfect.) Fruit extremely large, 
bright red. Plants large, healthy, bright green in 
color; not as prolific as some other varieties but size 
of berries makes the baskets easy to fill. Extensively 
planted in the North. 
NARCISSA. (Perfect.) Released in 1933 by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. Has the same parentage 
as Dorsett and Fairfax, it being a seedling of Howard 
17 and Royal Sovereign. While not so well known 
here in the East, it has become very popular in the 
Northwest. Berries good quality; excellent shipper. 
Give it a trial this season. 
NEW YORK. (Perfect.) Midseason. Plants are large 
and healthy. Fruit extremely large, well colored. A 
good midseason variety for the northern states. 
NICK OHMER. (Perfect.) A medium late variety. 
The berries are large, glossy red, globular in shape 
with bright green caps which show them up splend' 
idly when placed in the market. We snip Nick 
Ohmer to all strawberry sections. California growers 
are having especially good success with them, in 
which state we have shipped millions of Nick Ohmer 
plants during the past years. 
PARSONS’ BEAUTY. (Perfect.) Midseason. One 
that may be depended upon to produce a large crop 
of fruit every season. The plants are splendid grow* 
ers, without any sign of disease. Grows well on any 
soil that will produce Strawberries. The fruit is large, 
conical, uniform in shape, dark red, and fair quality. 
A strong pollenizer and a good one to plant with 
imperfect blooming varieties. 
PATHFINDER. (Perfect.) Ripens a few days after 
Premier. Foliage is a dark thrifty green, holding up 
well during the fruiting season. Plant makes a vigor' 
ous, healthy growth and sets a tremendous crop of 
berries, medium size, regular shape, and rather dark 
in color. 
PROGRESSIVE. (Perfect.) A wonderful falbbearing 
Strawberry and considered the best by many growers. 
The spring'set plants not only produce a big crop 
of berries the same season, but the runner plants be' 
gin to bear fruit as soon as set, and quite often you 
will find a runner plant full of blossoms and berries 
before it has made any roots. 
RED GOLD. (Perfect.) Early. Originated in the 
West, but grown successfully everywhere. Ripens 
earlier than Premier and produces extra large, brib 
liant red berries with tender flesh and sweet, melting 
flavor. A fancy table berry. 
RIDGELY. (Perfect.) A cross between Premier and 
Gandy. Ripens early midseason. Fruit firm, large size. 
Excellent shipper. Very good. 
SAMPLE. (Imperfect.) Medium late. Extensively 
planted throughout the entire northern, middle and 
western states; is not worth planting south of Vir¬ 
ginia on account of rust. Fruit is large and well 
made up, firm enough for long distance shipments.
