A NEW STRAWBERRY 
TRAFFORD 
Originated by Dr. L. P. Latimer of the University of New Hampshire. 
How we hate to see the last strawberries go. We look all over the field to find enough for just 
one more shortcake. Now we can have berries for at least two weeks longer and beautiful large ones 
too. The plant in the above picture had 28 stems of berries. 
STRAFFORD is the King of late berries. Mr. Chandler from Maine who is growing the plants 
I sell says it is the only late berry that is a heavy yielder. Last season from about an acre he sold 
4934 quarts. He picked the first July 5 and the last on July 29. It isa beautiful large berry, nice color, 
good flavor, firm texture, making a good shipper and a tremendous yielder. Mr. Chandler sends his 
berries to the Boston market where they bring a premium. I was at his place July 6 when he was 
getting 55c a quart wholesale. One retail dealer wanted to send his truck 200 miles to get each days 
picking. I have not fruited Strafford myself but I have some growing to fruit this year. They make 
beautiful tall strong plants and lots of runners producing a wide row. I am looking forward to these 
berries that will bear after the regular varieties are gone and before the Everbearers begin. 
Mr. Chandler sends out the plants from his farm in Maine fumigated and packed perfectly. 
You never saw nicer plants. After receiving plants from some other growers I found his a revelation. 
Will ship during May. Order early to get early shipment 
1-99 plants 15 cents each. No orders for less than 15 plants. 100 and up 10 cents each.
