- FIRST EARLY.

Excelsior. This is decidedly the
best early Strawberry and the earli-
est good strawberry. The fruit is
of round conical form, glossy, dark
red color, and of mildly acid flavor.

Fairfield. Mr. Johnson, the intro-
ducer, says he has never seen any
berry nearly its equal for earliness,
large size, attractive color, quality
and firmness.

Success. Large, round, bright
scarlet, flavor always fine.

Virginia. P. A medium sized berry

Me lent ; enormous yielder. Made a
record of 12,000 quarts per acre at
its home in the State of Virginia.

SECOND EARLY

variety, immensely productive, Sample. P. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, large, firm,

Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by him,
said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better than Senator
Dunlap. It will keep in fair condition for several days on the vines after
being ripe enough to pick. The fruit is large, rich and dark red clear to
rries; firm and of fine flavor. the centre, with a very rich flavor.

MIDSUMMER CATALOGUE, 1908.

STRAVVBERRIES.—Continued.

Senator Dunlap.

MEDIUM.

Abington. A strong growing native variety of recent introduction. The fruit is of large size, bright red in
color, very solid and of excellent flavor.

Bubach. P. A well known popular variety. With large berries of a rich, bright red color; very prolific.

Big Ben. A new seedling variety of merit which in some sections of this state has become the favorite
fancy market sort. The plants are of vigorous growth and very productive with large fruit of a rich
crimson color. Per 100, $4.00; $35.co per 1000.

Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red to the centre,
and of rich, spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up from the ground
and generally succeeds everywhere.

Bismarck. Bismarck is a safe pollenizing strawberry, possessing all the desirable qualities of Bubach. To
those familiar with the Bubach nothing further need be said, since Bubach has been a favorite berry for
years. Bismarck makes a much finer growth than Bubach, and, from the fact that it beds up better, it will
generally produce a larger yield per acre. Color a dull scarlet, ripens all over at once, having no green
tips. ‘The seeds are prominent, and the berries quite firm.

Mark Hanna. P. An exceedingly prolific variety ripening in midseason. ‘he berries are of enormous
size, attractive in color and of splendid quality.

Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of handsom>, glossy, dar’: crimson colov,
and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private use or-narket. It is
a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should
not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.

Minute Man. P. Very productive, and free growing sort with large solid berries. A fine market variety.

New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. The berries are large, of long conical
form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet favor. In the market they sell at sight.

Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free from rust, and ripening about one week
earlier. than Gandy; It is nearly as large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in either high or low land,
but owing to the immense crops it sets, the ground should be well fertilized to ensure best results.

LATE TO VERY LATE.

Belmont. This old favorite is still considered by many to be the finest late berry. The fruit is of hand-
some appearance and keeps well.

) +i
hy)

) HA igh

i Wyre)

Commonwealth. This is the latest c* a1! Strawberries; bearing large conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet
and of quality equal to the well known Bu’ ch. Not only an extra large berry, but also very productive,
of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy. The plants are strong, not quite so rank in
growth as the Marshall, and free from rust. One of the best introductions of recent years.

Gandy. ‘This popular old variety is probably kaown by most berry growers. It is more largely grown than
any other late variety. It is at home on wlack swamp land if well drained, upon medium stiff or red clay
land. On sandy soils it is unproductive. Al! late varieties are compared by Gandy, which is the highest
praise that could be given it. Large size, fine appearance, and remarkable keeping and carrying qualities.

New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that does not lose its lustre and turn dark for a long time after being picked. It
is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will produce a large crop on either high or low land. The fruit is so firm and keeps so well, it does not need
to be picked oftener than three times a week. Its great productiveness, uniform large size, and unsurpassed carrying and keeping qualities make it
one of the most desirable on the list.

William Belt.

William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. The berries are as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach. It is
about as productive as the Bubach, and of nearly the same shape. [Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red ; its season nearly as late as Gandy.

Stevens’ Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy type yielding large crops of beautiful berries very late in the season. In New Jersey it is
considered one of the finest sorts for late crop.

PANSIES

Culture of Pansies.—Pansies thrive best in a cool, moist, but well drained soil,
enriched with well rotted barnyard manure, or fine ground bone. Seeds sown in spring
in a partially shaded situation will produce fine plants for autumn flowering. ‘The finest
blooms are to be obtained, however, by sowing in July or August, giving the plants
protection during winter, w hen they will bloom profusely i in the spring aml summer.

One of the lightest draft mowers manufactured ; made of iron and steel.

It has one special point of excellence over other mowers of this style, which consists in

same. 15-inch, $9.00; 17-inch, $10.00; Ig-inch, $11.25; 21-inch, $12.50. |

This is a medium High Wheel Mower which is very popular, for the reason that it has

good work and runs lighter. It is the same style as some makers put on-the market for a
high wheel mower. 14-inch, $6.00; 16-inch, $6.75; 18-inch, $7.50; 20-inch, $8.25.

14-inch, $7.00; 16-inch, $7.75; 18-inch, $8.50; 2c¢-inch, $9.25.

For all-round general purposes this is one of the best style mowers on the market. With
its high wheels it runs light, and five knives it cuts smooth and even, with the principles of
construction so evenly balanced that it has the greatest amount of durability.

Chain Roller Mower. Ball-Bearings, Chain Drive, 5 Blades.
This Mower will cut close enough and clean enough to satisfy the most fastidious golfer.
It will run easier than any other ever built.
It will stay in perfect order longer than any other
