OTHER EARLY VARIETIES 
MIDLAND: A U. S. Department of Agriculture cross of Premier and 
Redheart, introduced several seasons ago. It does not make as many plants as 
some of the other early varieties. The berries are large, firm, of good quality, 
and deep red in color. Midland is very productive for the number of plants 
grown. 
SOUTHLAND: A berry recommended for the Southern States. Berries 
are large, firm and of good quality. Plants make a good growth of very 
healthy plants. 
KLONDYKE: The old standby for shipping to distant markets, adapted 
to southern planting, berries medium to large, attractive red, flesh very firm 
and red to the core. Medium in quality, good plant maker, and yields good 
crops. Commands top prices on the markets. 
BELLMAR: A cross of Premier and Missionary. The plants are quite 
productive. The berries are bright red with a green cap, conical in shape and 
very attractive. For those not satisfied with Dorsett and Fairfax or Premier 
will advise giving Bellmar a trial. I have some nice plants for those who like 
it or who want to give it a trial. - 
Please ship my order for strawberry plants the first of March. You have been 
highly recommended by a friend, Mr. Wm. Carman.
