The best 
late. This 
variety was 
also intro¬ 
duced by us 
for the first time last year. A late berry as good as Premier, 
Dorsett, Fairfax, or all early and midseason leading varieties, 
and so late that it doesn’t begin to blossom until you are 
picking the other kinds—so late, in fact, that there will be 
no waiting between strawberries and raspberries. Berries 
are dark red all the way through, are honey-sweet and have 
the flavor of a wild strawberry. 
This variety has five outstanding points. (1) Is a giant in 
size; (2) ripens late to real late; (3) will make a good 
fruiting row on any soil; (4) berry is firm and hard, of 
extra good quality, and (5) heavy cropper—300 to 500 
crates per acre. ORDER EARLY—OUR SUPPLY OF 
PLANTS IS LIMITED. 
Neet 
The best early. Your first cost of plants is the last! The second and third crop as good 
as the first! 
We introduced this variety for the first time last year. This variety was originated by 
George W. Neet of Dana, Indiana. Is a seedling of the old Haverland and Premier; 
| ^ closely resembles the Premier, but is much hardier, larger, better flavored and invariably 
produces more fruit, and has a better fruiting stem. It also produces a 
fine crop the second and third year, which is just as good as the first 
crop—a trait not found in any other variety we have grown; you do not 
have to replace your planting every other year as your patch gets better 
from year to year, whereas most varieties are not picked more than 
1 to 2 years, after which the patch is plowed under. 
Berries are extra large, having produced fruit that averages 2/4 inches 
long by 1% inches in diameter, and it retains its large size throughout 
the picking season—the last berries being as large as the first. Fruit is 
dark, glossy red, not quite as dark as Premier, but glossier; red clear 
through and no white tips. Berries are uniform in shape, no mis-shaped 
fruit in this variety. They are the most perfect heart-shaped berries we 
have ever seen. Very sweet flavor, much sweeter than Premier. Ripens 
early. Not soft but very firm and a good shipper. 
Very hardy. Makes a vigorous plant growth on most any soil. Very 
disease-resistant; in the seven years of testing this variety, we absolutely 
have not found a disease of 
any kind. 
The originator of the 
Neet Strawberry sent us 
plants for testing 8 years 
ago. We have tested it over 
this period and are thor¬ 
oughly convinced that it is 
the most outstanding Straw- The best medium. This new variety is 
berry ever introduced. a seedling from a cross of the Premier 
and the Marshall. Is a recent introduc¬ 
tion by the New York Experiment Sta¬ 
tion. Has been highly praised in most 
all northern sections. It bears heavy 
crops of extra large, smooth, bright red 
berries of very fine quality. Makes a 
strong, vigorous fruiting row, and is a 
very good medium variety. We know 
a small trial order this year means larger 
profits for you next year.
