The Majestic is a new variety of strawberry that has recent¬ 
ly been developed and has been thoroughly tested by experiment 
stations, nurseries, and a number of growers in eight states. The 
Majestic, we believe, will soon become the leading variety in the 
eastern part of the United States. 
The Majestic has outstanding qualities that we believe will 
make it a leading market variety. The berries are large, bright 
red in color, fine flavor, and firm enough to make it a good ship¬ 
per. The Majestic will hold its good qualities for a longtime. If 
some crates have to be carried over, it will retain in good qualities 
much longer than most other varieties.

The Majestic is enormously productive, yields large, bright 
red berries, uniform in size, holds its size well to the end of the 
season, and makes a beautiful display in packages. The Majestic 
is a medium early variety. It begins ripening about three or four 
days later than Premier. It blooms rather late and has a long 
blooming season. It often gets by late frosts in the spring with¬ 
out damage, when other varieties are all killed or badly damaged. 
The plants are dark green, free from “leaf spot“ and all 
other diseases. It has a deep, heavy root system, which makes it 
very resistant to drough—this is one of the outstanding character¬ 
istics of this variety. The plants will live and make a good growth 
of plants when the weather is so dry that other varieties fail. It 
will also develop a crop of berries when the weather is dry enough 
to damage other varieties. The blossoms are perfect, both stami- 
nate and pistilate. The Majestic originated in the mountains of 
Virginia and is a very hardy berry and free from disease. 
State Inspector Willy, when inspecting my planting said, 
“It is marvelous how free from “leaf spot’' and other diseases 
these plants are. If anyone has any doubt about it, tell them to 
write me.”
