Varieties we quote below are the best for the South. Select varieties 
so that you may have berries from April until killing frost. 
No. 866 Aroma—(Standard) Perfect flowering. A splendid late berry; 
large, deep red, and of excellent flavor. The skin is somewhat tough¬ 
er than the early varieties and the flesh is firm, making it a good 
market sort.

variety for the Southwest. One of the earliest, a good producer, and 
valuable for market or for home. 
No. 868 Missionary—The best berry for South Texas, South Louisiana, and 
the warmer sections of the country. Very prolific, good size, good 
quality and medium early.

and excellent flavor. Fine for home use, and the most profitable 
berry for the South.

berry for home use. Just tart enough to make excellent jelly and 
preserves.

FLOWERING TREES 
In the long succession of colorful pictures that are presented in our 
Southern Gardens, the most impressive are those provided in February, 
March and April by Flowering Trees. Blooming before the appearance 
of foliage, as most of them do, their clear tones of color afford bound¬ 
less opportunities for the creation of lovely garden scenes. Their graceful 
branches are exquisitely beautiful, either spread against backgrounds of 
sober evergreens, or matching their brilliant colors with beds of gay 
tulips, daffodils and other early flowers.
