6 HOLDRIDGE’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1942 
LATE VARIETIES 
HEBRON (Perfect)—This is another of the new varieties 
originated by Dr, Jones at the New Haven Experiment Station. 
It produces a long, pointed berry with a very green husk. 
It commences to yield fairly late in the season and produces a 
very fine crop. It has been the first late berry which has 
satisfied us for yields. Although this variety is not as late 
as the Pearl variety which we have sold for years as our 
standard late berry, it produces a better quality berry and a 
much greater yield. Therefore, we are recommending this year 
that you plant Hebron for late berries. 
This variety has produced fine wide rows for us. We have 
for this spring’s sales a fine lot of nice plants. We think you 
will be pleased with them. 
IMPROVED PEARL (Perfect)—-This is the latest variety 
of strawberries which we have fruited on our farm. It pro- 
duces a very large berry late in the season. The berry usually 
has a green tip and is not very sweet. The yield is fair but 
not equal to Hebron. 
If you want a large firm berry to pick the last of June 
and into July, buy Pearl and plant them on heavy, damp soil 
and uncover the plants very late in the spring. You will be 
picking berries after all other varieties have gone by. 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
MASTODON (Perfect)—We consider this variety the best 
of the Everbearers. It is one of the largest Fall bearing straw- 
berries. Very attractive in size and color. Excellent for the 
home garden and the only Everbearer worthy of planting for 
profit. The berries are firm and good in quality. 
Every strawberry garden should contain a few Everbearers. 
You can set plants in April and enjoy strawberries fresh from 
the vines all summer and the Fall. A good plan is to keep 
blossoms picked off to July 1st or 15th. You will then have 
nice berries until snow flies. We have only a limited supply. 
First come, first served. 
RHUBARB 
MYATTS LINNEAS-This is one of the easiest fruits to 
grow. Once planted, it will last for many years. Plant in hills 
about 3 feet apart. This variety is large, tender and yields 
abundantly. 
Prices: 3 for 25 cents; 8 for 50 cents; 20 for $100; 100 
for $4.00. Postpaid.
