SPARKLE. Best of the Midseason Berries. 
A beautiful, glossy red berry that has proved to be one of the 
most productive and finest in the mid-season group. It is 
already the leader in many sections. 
These medium-sized berries are well flavored, firm and 
particularly delicious to eat fresh, and they are the best we 
know for freezing. The plants are very vigorous and hardy 
and will produce astonishing crops over a long period. They 
are resistant to Red Stele root disease and widely adapted in 
Northern sections. The berries are round, uniform and very 
attractive with their sparkling bright red color, and for 
home use or market this is a variety we can highly recom- 
mend. 25 plants $1.25; 50 plants $2.00; 100 plants $3.25, 
postpaid. Not paid: 500 plants $9.50; 1,000 plants $18.50 
Sparkle—The best variety for freezing. 
PREMIER. Very Early—Enormous Crops. Premier isstill the most reliable and productive early 
strawberry, and probably at least 80% of all the berries grown in the East are now Premiers. 
The plants are strong, healthy and extremely prolific. The blooms are frost resistant, and 
the berries ripen very early and have a long picking season. They are medium to large, 
deep bright red all over and the quality is fine. Firm, handsome, and well-shaped, Premier 
is always in great demand on markets and roadside stands, and is the best early kind for 
home gardens. 25 plants $1.15; 50 plants $1.90; 100 plants $3.00, postpaid. 
Not paid: 500 plants $9.00; 1,000 plants $17.50. 
TEMPLE. (New.) Excellent Quality—Heavy Yielder. 
Widely grown for shipping in Maryland, Temple is very well adapted to New York and 
New England. It is resistant to Red Stele, highly vigorous and productive and has beautiful 
large clean foliage. Coming on just after Premier, it has large size and fine shape, and for 
flavor and sweetness it excels all others except the supreme Fairfax! The smooth and 
attractive fruit are firm and medium dark red in color. A first class market and home garden 
berry. Highly recommended. 25 plants $1.25; 50 plants $2.00; 100 plants $3.25, postpaid. 
Not paid: 500 plants $9.50; 1,000 plants $18.50. 
FAIRFAX. The Most Delicious Strawberry. 
Once you have tried them, you will understand why we recommend Fairfax as tops in 
quality. A little later than Premier, it yields heavily when well grown on rich land and 
the large firm conic shaped berries have a sweetness and flavor equalled by no other kind. 
The color is a glossy deep red when first ripe, turning quite dark as they get older, and 
this dark color has become a trade mark of quality both for home and market use.
