KEITH'S NEW 
Straw berries 
These newer varieties of strawberries are worthy 
of trial in your garden or field and we recom- 
mend them to our friends and customers. Three 
cf them are of our own introduction, Uncle Cap, 
Kanner King, and Joan. The first two we de- 
veloped here in our plant-breeding beds where 
we test out many varieties of our own origin, 
as well as those from the U. S. Government and 
different Expt. Stations. The other variety, Joan, 
came to us direct from northern France. The 
other two varieties, Grand Champion and Am- 
brosia, did not originate with us.

This berry came to us direct from 
Oan (Late) northern France. We heard 
tourists tell of the beautiful big 
, berries they saw in France and 
Belgium, so we asked our Bureau of Plant Industry at 
Washington, D.C., to get us one of the best varieties 
grown in that country and they sent us this variety, 
Joan. The berries are delicious, sweet, large, bright 
red. Blooms are not perfect, some other variety should 
be planted with it to fertilize its blooms. We suggest 
Uncle Cap. Any of our varieties are O.K. Price same
