LUPTON 15 For the second straight year, Lupton is one of the few varieties we can offer in size- able commercial quantities—5 to 10 thousand plants. Lupton does little to raise the average quality of the strawberry crop. But in productiveness, size, beauty and shipping quality of the berries, and in selling price and profits realized, Lupton is holding its own as a commercial berry even in these days of "Improved Varieties." Particularly is this true in the last few years when drought late setting, labor and plant shortages have reduced the acreage of all varieties. Lupton is well adapted from Virginia to Pennsylvania and similar latitudes- the middle area of strawberry production. We recommend Lupton for setting in this area for all or a part of your planting of late berries if you can't get all you want of other varieties you really prefer. Lupton is likely to give you a delightful surprise—when the returns are all in. The illustration herewith gives a fair picture of what Lupton looks like. Every crate of Lupton we had last year "hit the ceiling" in price. Price list, paq.e 23. Lupton has proved its worth as a profitable commercial berry

The plants, though small, are very vigorous and healthy and make plenty of runners for a good fruiting row. They are very productive in regions adapted to Aroma. The berries are beauties. They have a shiny bright red color which darkens very little on holding or shipping. And they have the finest, greenest caps of any variety to enhance their natural beauty. On top of that, they are firm enough to ship long distances and go into market in almost perfect condition. Price list, page 23. ^IY;;^;>Q^;^ A highly recommended late variety.
