48 The Tingle Nursery Co., Pittsville, Md. 


GANDY. Fifty-two years old and still good as an extra late 
berry if given a good fertile moist soil. The berries are strictly 
fancy, large, good quality, bright red with a large green cap. A 
good keeper but not as productive as some. 
LUPTON. One would not likely grow this variety if he was going 
to eat the fruit himself as it does not begin to have the quality 
of some of the others but it is very attractive and shows up so 
well when it arrives on the market that it most always brings the 
top prices and that is what the commercial grower is interested 
in. Good grower, late, attractive and sells well. 
PATHFINDER. An introduction of the New Jersey Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station. Was formerly known as No. 35. A cross 
between Howard 17 and Aberdeen. Has been tested throughout 
the Eastern and Northwestern sections of the country and results 
were generally favorable especially in sections where Premier 
is adaptable. Berries cone-shaped, colors a bright uniform red 
all over, large and heavy cropper, quality good, ripens a little 
later than Premier. 
PREMIER. For a good many years this has been the best plant 
seller of them all, hence, has been a profitable one for the berry 
grower. Early, almost frost proof, always producing good crops, 
attractive, good grower, productive, medium to large berries, and 
if not too wet at picking time a good shipper but if there is a 
lack of sunshine the berries do not keep well. In some sections 
growers will not plant anything else for a crop of early berries. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. Excellent for canning and very delicious for 
table use. Blossoms are perfect and its long blooming season 
makes it god for planting with imperfect flowering sorts. 
STRAWBERRIES ALL SUMMER AND FALL 
There should always be some of these varieties in the home 
garden. They will start fruiting 90 days after the plants are set 
and produce all through the summer and fall till there is a heavy 
frost. Any family that enjoys delicious strawberries (and we be- 
lieve most anyone does) should not be without at least one of 
the everbearing varieties. Just think, you can have delicious 
strawberry shortcake, strawberries and cream and all other straw- 
berry desserts all through the summer and fall, with very little ex- 
pense, for if given the proper care each plant will often produce a 
quart or more of delicious berries during their long fruiting season. 
You can have plenty for your own use and then sell enough to pay 
your expenses from just a small patch. Your neighbors will be 
glad to buy them at good prices. Mastodon is recognized as be- 
ing the best for commercial purposes as well as for home use. 
Gem is a newer one and is steadily coming to the front. Maybe 
not any better than Mastodon but some say it is. 
SURPLUS PLANTS AT $3.00 PER THOUSAND 
Most every day we dig more of some varieties than we have ord- 
ers for and rather than throw them away we will make a special 
price on these plants. If you are not particular about the varie- 
ties these plants are a bargain. They will be labeled so that you 
will know what they are. They will be first class plants in every 
respect and such as we may have left over at the end of the 
day’s packing. Prices: $3.00 per thousand. Not less than 500 sold 
at the thousand rate. 
HOME-GARDEN STRAWBERRY COLLECTIONS 
These plants are selected especially for the home-table use. 
Good grower and good quality. Order the collection according 
to size of your family. Better yet, get enough to sell some 
berries to your neighbors.

GOLDEN MUSCAT GRAPE 
Probably the finest grape that can be grown in the eastern part 
of the United States. Another wonderful grape sent out by the 
New York Station. Of it they say: “Golden Muscat possess the 
rich golden color of Diamond and the fine Muscat aroma of the 
European Muscat. For home use and the roadside market it is 
one of the best. The vine is vigorous, productive; thle clusters are 
very large, tapering, single-shouldered and compact; the berries 
are large, oval, juicy, tender, sweet, vinous, aromatic; season 
after Concord. Fine no. 1 vines. $1.00 each, 6 for $5.00, 12 for $9.00.
