_ GLEN MARY (Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering). We especially recommend it for the home garden and nearby markets. In size the berries average extraordinarily large, twelve specimens will fill a quart; the size holds up well until the end; in shape the berries are broadly heart-shaped, often winding at the tip; color dark glossy crimson, fairly firm and of excellent quality; plant strong and healthy. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

JOE (Joe Johnson, Big Joe) (Mid- Season to Late, Pistillate). This most valuable strawberry ripens just after the Chesapeake, equals it in size, firmness and yield, surpasses it in color and flavor, but unlike it, succeeds upon almost all soils, and under all conditions, hence it is more valuable. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

JOHN H. COOK (Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering). This is the finest of all the wonderful Van Fleet Hybrids. It is an enormous cropper, ripening with the second early varieties. The berries are of exquisite quality, blood red in color, and very firm. Of superlative excellence for the home garden, and of untold value to the market grower. In delicious flavor it closely approaches the wild strawberries. . Price, pot-grown plants, $8.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate. MARSHALL (Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering). It is the first of the extra large berries to ripen, and although of great size, the fruit is rarely ever mis- shapen. The color is a rich glossy crimson running well into the flesh, and the quality is far above the average. As to produc- tiveness, it will not yield as large a number of berries as some varieties, but when measured in quarts or bushels, will be above the average. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

NEW YORK (Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering). The plant is an unusually robust grower, making but few runners, throwing its strength and vigor into the magnificent berries which are produced in great abundance. They are of im- mense size, sometimes measuring over seven inches in circumference, and. in form very handsome and regular; of a rounding conical shape. Color: crimson- scarlet dark, rich and inviting, coloring all over, leaving no green tops. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

NICK OHMER (Mid-Season. Perfect Flowering). The plant is very large and stocky, sending out plenty of very strong runners. It is probably not surpassed in healthy, virogous growth and great pro- ductiveness by any variety. It has a perfect blossom. The fruit is of the very largest size, a giant among strawberries. It is never mis-shapen. Its only depar- ture from the regular, roundish, conical form is when, under high culture, it is somewhat triangular. It is dark glossy red, firm and of excellent flavor. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

SHARPLESS (Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering). An old variety, but still one of the most popular. Plant exceedingly vigorous and hardy, enduring both heat and cold without injury. Very productive. Fruit extra large, light crimson, firm and good quality. A profitable and reliable variety for either market or home. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate. STEVENS LATE CHAMPION (Late, Perfect Flowering). One of the latest of the late, it is also one of the best either for the home garden or for market. It is a big producer of fine large, bright colored berries holding up in size well to the very end of the season. Its very late bloom makes it immune to late spring frosts, and it is in full fruit when most other varieties have entirely finished their fruiting season. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

SUCCESS (Early to Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering). The berries are of large globular form, slightly conical, and of a light bright scarlet; the flavor being always fine, mild, sweet and rich. They are a little soft for shipping, but this fact em- phasizes their superiority for the home garden. The plant is a vigorous, strong grower, free from rust and abundantly productive. We unreservedly recommend it for the home garden. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

WILLIAM BELT (Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering). A luxuriant grower, healthy and hardy, very productive, and the

berries are very large. Shape rather long, conical and quite uniform. Color, deep glossy red all over. It is as firm as or- dinary berries, and of a better quality than is often found in large varieties. Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

PROLONG THE SEASON; 3 UNTIL FROST riantine FALL-FRUITING STRAWBERRIES

The varieties described below will produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary strawberries, and keep on bearing until frost; yet to get the best results the blossoms should be kept cut off until August 1st, so as to conserve the energies of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way, ripe fruit will be borne in about three weeks after that date and continuously until frost.

ADVANCE

The plant is medium-sized, with foliage a shade lighter in color than Progressive, has a good heavy root system, and is a fairly good plant maker; strongly staminate blossoms. The fruit is light red, heartshaped, of fine texture, good quality, half the size of Brandywine. Stout fruit-stems hold the fruit well off the ground. Price, pot- grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

CHAMPION EVERBEARING

This is one of the newer varieties that promises to be a decidedly more prolific sort than Superb, which it resembles in habit of growth and appearance of fruit. Price, pot-grown plants, $10.00 per 100; 25 or over, sold at the hundred rate.

FRANCIS

Plant, medium sized; foliage, medium sized and round, with a hard glossy surface; root system, medium; fruit, medium to large, rather long and of a nice, glossy red; quality, sweet and good. A fair plant-maker, a strong staminate, fruit-stems long, and cannot hold its load of fruit from the ground. A sure variety to fruit on new plants. Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

LUCKY BOY Claimed to be “the biggest, sweetest, and most productive ever-bearing strawberry as yet produced.” From its behavior with us and the enthusiastic reports we have

received from other growers, we feel it is destined to be the “‘ever-bearing variety of the future.’’ Price, pot-grown plants, $10.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred

rate. MINNESOTA

Very popular throughout the Middle West; quite similar to Progressive; possibly a trifle larger. Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred

tate. PROGRESSIVE

A splendid grower, healthy and hardy. very productive. The plant is of medium size, the blossom strongly staminate and very resistant to heat. Both blossoms and fruit are well protected by the strong healthy foliage. The fruit is rich and sweet; a deep red inside and out; of good medium size, with a slight neck and quite firm. Plants set in August and September fruit the next spring and on the new runners from July until frost. Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred

rate. - SUPERB

No other Fall-bearing variety is so well known or so largely planted. It yields a good crop both summer and autumn. Pot-grown plants set out in summer yield a few berries the first autumn, and a fine crop the following year. The berries are nearly round, smooth, dark crimson, glossy, of sweet mild flavor and larger than those of the Progressive. Plants are vigorous for a Fall-bearing variety, with clean, dark- green leaves. Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.
