 productive currants. Rich, mild, sub-acid 

 flavor and having plenty of pulp with few 

 seeds. You can pick perfections fast as 

 cherries.

 sweet, or very mild acid; excellent for table. 

 The finest of white sorts. Very productive.

 tive; a splendid sort; not so acid as most.

 rather early, fruit keeps well. 



Strawberries 



Few fruits offer greater returns for land and labor invested than strawberries. 

 With little care and attention they thrive i n most any soil, while extra efforts and 

 estivation will be rewarded by especially fine crops. Whether you grow for the 

 market or home use only, have the best sorts by all means.

EARLY 

 PREMIER— The very best of all extra-early 

 varieties. We have never found anything 

 to equal it. Berries are large, beautifully 

 formed, bright red through and through. 

 It is delicious in flavor and a splendid ship- 

 per. We have fruited it for years and con- 

 sider it the money-making king of all the 

 early varieties. f It produces a very heavy 

 crop and you should plant heavily, whether 

 growing for home use, local market or dis- 

 tant shipment. If Premier has any weak 

 points, we have not found them and we ad- 

 vise all those in sections where early berries 

 are in demand to include Premier. Perfect. 



CULTURE OF STRAWBERRIES 



The ground should be prepared the same as 

 for the other crops; if not already rich, make it 

 so by manuring. Mark out the rows the de- 

 sired width and set plants twelve to seventeen 

 inches in rows; if set twelve inches in rows, 

 four feet apart, an acre will require 10 800 

 plants — same as if sixteen inches in rows three 

 feet apart. Keep in rows and cultivate. A 

 new bed should be planted every two or 

 three years. In the early winter, when 

 the ground is frozen, cover the whole with 

 long straw, which should be partial- 

 ly removed from the row in the 

 spring, but enough allowed to re- 

 main on the ground as mulch to 

 keep the berries clean the following- 

 summer. When the plants are 

 moved in the fall, they should bo 

 left until September. 



MID-SEASON 

 KLONDIKE — Large; red; flesh 

 firm; red to the core, with a mild 

 and delicious flavor, unlike any 

 other variety. It is very popu- 

 lar with southern growers who 

 ship. Plant tall, compact, vigorous grow- 

 er; resists frost well and yields good 

 crops. Perfect. Mid-season. 



SENATOR DUNLAP— This beny is of the 

 Warfield type, has a perfect blossom, is 

 hardy, productive, a splendid keeper and 

 able to hold its own under any "rough and 

 tumble" methods of culture to which it is 

 likely to be subjected. It is a very heavy 

 bearer of good size, even fruit, of a very 

 beautiful dark red color. It is a berry to 

 grow for either home use or market. 



MISSIONARY (Per.)— Medium early; average 

 size. The originator describes it as follows: 

 "Large size, beautiful color, with the ap- 

 pearance of being varnished; large double 

 calyx, like Gandy; immensely productive. Its 

 season is from four to five weeks. Very rich 

 and best quality; best shipper, has a very 

 tough skin, not easily broken by handling.''
