ANDARD VARIETIES 
ABERDEEN (Late). This is the best yielding late berry that I 
know of, the fruit is cone shaped, large light red in color, is solid and 
firm, will stand long distant shipping. I do not consider it a good 
flavored berry, therefore do not recommend it for home use, but for 
the commercial grower I believe it is the outstanding late berry. 
Price: 50, €0c: 100, 90c: 300, $2.25: 500, $3.25: 1000 or more, $6.50 
per 1000 
MASTODON Cayetbeating’. This is still the best aes Saye 
variety with us, the fruit is large, fairly firm and a good flavor, they 
commence ripening about August 1st and continue until heavy frosts.

$10.00 per 1000 
GEM (Everbearer). This is one of the newer varieties of ever- 
bearers, some of my customers report larger yields from Gem than 
any other everbearer, the fruit is not as large as Mastodon, and 
somewhat sour, it is a beautiful bright red color, and sure is the 
makings for a good short cake. Commence ripening about August Ist. 
*Price: Same as Mastodon. . 
In looking over your catalogues and price lists you will find that 
strawberry plants are considerably higher in price than they have 
been for some years. In my opinion the war has not had much to do 
to cause the sharp rise in prices of strawberry plants, although it 
would have been necessary to make some advance in price, but the 
' main reason is, the dry summer of last year, all through the planting 
and growing season, which did not effect just a few states, but seem- 
-ed to be national. Although a strawberry plant may grow and make 
plants, they are of no value unless there is moisture to help them to 
take root. Last summer it required skill to grow good strawberry 
plants, they had to be cultivated and hoed at the proper time to 
help the plants to take root. 
My plants did not make as many plants as usual, I had a large 
planting, and I expect to have enough “plants which will have large 
crowns and roots. If there is as greata shortage of strawberry plants, 
as the survey shows, I believe it will be to your own benefit to order | 
early. 
RASPBERRY PLANTS 
I grow red raspberry plants, in large quantities, but I prefer. sell- 
ing them in the fall of year, so that Ican give all of my time to my 
strawberry plant business. I sold all of the raspberry plants last fall, 
so I have none for sale this spring. I can furnish them next fall in 
any quantities you desire, in the following varieties: Latham, Marcy, 
Fagiee, Chief, Indian Summer.
