well on soil too sandy for other varieties. It is free from 
rust, a vigorous grower, and produces in average yield of 
high-quality berries. However, we do not recommend its 
being planted north of Missouri, as there are several 
other varieties better adapted to the colder climate. 
Our plants are from the original stock of Missionary, 
healthy, heavy producers, true-to-name. We take great 
pride in the quality of our Missionary. We believe that 
we grow and sell more plants of this variety than any 
other plant dealer in the United States. These berries 
are medium in size, dark red in color with tart flavor and 
attractive in appearance. 
BELLMAR 
A FANCY EARLY SHIPPING BERRY 
The Bellmar has a number of qualities which make it 
outstanding in any list of strawberries. In some instances 
this berry has been reported to yield as high as 5,000 
quarts to the acre. 
As compared with Premier the plants are more vig- 
orous and produce more freely; the blossoms are perfect, 
ripening almost a week earlier than Premier and fruit- 
ing about as long. They are firmer than Premier and not 
so acid as Missionary. They rank high in dessert quality. 
The Bellmar plant growth is bright glossy green. 
The berries are a luscious bright red. Their bright green 
caps gives them a very effective appearance. This, to- 
gether with their large size, makes them one of the most 
beautiful berries we have ever grown. 
PREMIER 
This is the father of so many excellent strawberries 
that its qualifications as the supreme berry almost speak 
for themselves. This berry has been used more times 
to propagate other varieties than any other single berry. 
so the Premier must have a number of admirable quali- 
ties. It is a very successful berry in the North and East, 
and it has a long fruiting season. The plants are sturdy 
and productive. Plants are exceptionally frost resistant 
and survive the coldest winter. A very heavy bearer. 
The fruit is extra large, dark red, with firm flesh and 
fine flavor. 
ROBINSON 
This is a comparatively new variety being given 
favorable comment from many Michigan plant growers. 
The berries are generally large size, bright red color, 
and firm. It seems to be a very good plant maker, and 
the foliage is healthy. The fruit begins ripening approxi- 
mately one week later than Premier. We recommend 
this variety as a worthy mid-season to late berry, and 
especially adapted to commercial growing. A trial under 
eastern central and northern conditions should prove 
very satisfactory. The light attractive color, nearly as 
light as Blakemore, makes the berries show up very 
well in the crate.
