Some Good Ones 
BIG JOE. Midseason. Comes on rapidly. Ships pretty well, but not 
the equal of Catskill. 
CHESAPEAKE. A little earlier than Gandy and where it can be gotten 
to grow makes a good showing as a fancy berry. Passed its peak. Do not 
plant unless you know it. 
BLAKEMORE. In the South the best early, but apparently not adapted 
to areas north of the Mason-Dixon Line. We have the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture “yellows proof” strain. 
AROMA. Not as late as the Gandy and not as productive as some. It is 
still good in the Middle West area where it always commands a good price. 
ABERDEEN. None bears more, but it is too soft for any but the nearest 
market or home use. Midseason. 
CULVER. Very good as a fancy berry. Grows very well and is fairly 
productive. Midseason. 
DRESDEN. Comes from the same source as the Catskill and shows a lot 
of promise. Especially fine grower. Ripens midseason. Do not plant on 
poor soil. 
FAIRMORE. A most magnificent grower but does not bear enough to 
be profitable. Where there is needed a variety that is sure to grow and good 
to eat it may be planted. Early. 
LUPTON. Not nearly so good as a few years ago, but there are still 
some who like it. Late. 
NORTHSTAR. This is a really fancy kind. Ripens early to midseason. 
Bears a good crop and the berries are very firm as well as fancy. Rich soil 
required. 
GANDY. For a long time the best of all the late kinds, and where it 
grows well is still about the best. Should always have rich, moist soil and 
never allowed to get too thick. 
SHBLTON. Medium early, and quite productive, with good plant growth. 
Attractive colored berry, but too soft here. Probably much better farther 
North and West. Price same as Dresden. 
GEM. When and where it can be gotten to grow vigorously Gem is the 
best everbearer. However it so often fails to grow that any endorsement of 
it should be restrained. Do not consider it on any but the richest soil. 
MASTODON. Old, but has held up well. For thin soils it often does 
better than the Gem and it nearly always grows better. If late summer 
is cool and moist often a very fine crop may be secured from it.
