Other Early Varieties 
BELLMAR. A cross of Premier and Missionary. The plants are 
quite productive. The berries are bright red with a green cap, conical 
in shape and very attractive. For those not satisfied with Dorsett 
and Fairfax or Premier would advise giving Bellmar a trial. I have 
some nice plants for those who like it or who want to give it a trial. 
DUNLAP. It is graduaily being replaced by Premier because 
Premier berries are earlier, larger, better quality, and more handsome 
in appearance. Dunlap is still grown by many of its old friends and 
we have a nice stock of plants for those who know and want it. Ber- 
ries are medium in size, bright rich red clear through, and fair to 
good in quality. 
IMPROVED HEFLIN. Grows with great vigor on any type of 
soil and will always set a full crop regardless of whether the land on 
which it is grown is rich or poor. In fact, we have never seen any that 
does so well on thin soils as it does. At the same time it responds 
recklessly to good treatment. Its weaknesses are its lack of firmness 
and tendancy to grow too thick, and to suffer frost damage. It is not 
popular for long distance shipping. 
KLONDYKE. The old standby for shipping to distant markets, 
adapted to southern planting, berries medium to large, attractive red, 
flesh very firm and red to the core. Medium in quality, good plant 
maker, and yields good crops. Commands top prices on the market. 
MISSIONARY. The leading berry in the Southern States. Will 
do well on almost all soils but will do better than most on light soil. 
The berries are medium in size, dark red in color, with a tart flavor 
and attractive in appearance. It is a good shipper and has for a long 
time been a favorite with the juice men. The Bellmar and Blakemore 
are more popular in this section, but in some parts of the South, Miss- 
ionary still holds the supreme place. 
I have a nice lot of Missionary plants. Let me furnish you with 
your needs.
