Popular with maTketmen trade is carried away with this berr>-. This is the third season the berr\- has been fruited, and we think it far superior to any berr\- we have ever ; In size it is large, a heaxy jielder, and holds up well in size until the verj' last picking. We fruited the McAlpin the past year and are well pleased with it. The berries are beautiful scarlet in color, very large and ver\- fine in quality, shows up well in the package and always brings top prices on the market. The plant is perfectly healthy and is a \'igorous grower. It will grow on almost any kind of soil; in fact, it grows so well that th° plants have to be thinned out of the plant-bed, else they will become so thick they cannot bear their best crop of f r u i t; will respond readily to any care given it. We recommend the McAlpin as an excellent berry, both for home use and for market. Knowing its merits we have grown a large stock of this variety this year and we want all of our customers who grow Straw- berries for market to plant at least a few. If you have failed with other varieties, plant McAlpin and suc- ceed. See illustration in natural colors, page 6. A GOOD BEGINNING I will give you my first experience in Strawberr>--raising. I planted one-fourth acre, nearly all Chesapeake, with a few others; had I planted ajl Chesapeake, the crop would have been about a crate or two more. But I am well pleased with my first crop. We picked boxes, and sold $267,05 worth, besides what we have used.—J. M. Weber, Lancaster County, Pa., March 1915-. Late Jersey Giant (see jiage 12).
