26 J. W. JONES & SON, FRANKLIN, VIRGINIA 

To Summarize 
EARLY 
PREMIER Will have to be placed at the head of the list. No kind so 
widely adapted. Almost frost preof. Its weakness: If too 
warm and wet at picking season does not carry well. 
FAIRFAX Nothing equals it in quality or appearance when first pick- 
ed. Vigorous grower. BUT, it turns dark soon after pick- 
ing. Persuade your customers that it is not spoiled. 
DORSETT Since its introduction, the best in the Maryland—Virginia 
area.Handsome and good to taste. Grows well. Blooms 
early and frost damages sometimes severe. Subject to 
“summer scorch.” Spring foliage healthy. 
BLAKEMORE For below Mason Dixon Line it is good. Keep thin. 
NORTHSTAR Recommend for trial in Middle Atlantic area. The largest 
and handsomest grown. 
FAIRMORE The finest grower of them all. A valuable early kind. 
MIDSEASON 
CATSKILL Heads midseason list by every right. Large size and a 
tremendous cropper. Sells with the very best. Follows 
Premier, Dorsett, Fairfax. Sometimes attacked by “sum- 
mer scorch.” 
BIG JOE Well known. Has passed its peak. 
ABERDEEN A tremenduous cropper. Too soft for any but near market. 
LATE 
GANDY Still the best late. Rusts at picking time in most locali- 
ties. Plant only on rich soil. Keep thin. 
CHESAPEAKE Have both seen their day. Too little vigor in plants. 
LUPTON Often turn “sick” when fruit ripens. 
EVERBEARING 
GEM The best by long odds. Use rich soil. Keep summer 
blooms off for best Fall crop. Must have plently of mois- 
ture. 
MASTODON An oldtimer, Still good. Strong plants; but sometimes in- 
clined to “stool up” and not make a bed. On rich soil may 
still be planted with confidence. No good in the South.
