TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 23. MEDIUM-EARLY STRAWBERRIES, continued Klondyke is a very good grower and adapted to a wide variety of soils. It is especially pop- ular in the middle and southern states. Many large asso- ciations in the South are planting Klondyke for their main crop, due to the fact that it is a good shipper. At nearby shipping sta- tions we have seen buyers go over load after load of berries and pay more for the Klondyke than for any other va- riety of its season. In this section it commands the high- est price until Big Joe and Chesapeake begin to ripen. A good many growers and associations know this berry and will plant it anyway. For those in the southern or middle states who are not sure what to plant we recommend Klondyke as a market berry. The blossoms of Klondyke are perfect and the plants are very- vigorous and healthy. Klondyke •will grow anywhere and this fact helps to make it the immensely popular berry that it is. Price, $3 per 1,000.

We have seen it fruiting in California and, if its behavior there is any indication of what it will do generally, it is a very valuable variety indeed. The plant is a strong grower and does well on almost any soil. The blossoms are perfect; the berries are large, con- ical in shape, uniform in size, and hold up well until the end of the season. The fruit is dark red in color and covered with prominent golden seeds. It has added value in that it is very firm and able to stand long-distance shipments in good condition. For the Longfellow (see page 24). An exceedingly promising sort middle and southern states we recommend Lady Corneille very highly, and it should be tried out in all se
