Diagram shows method of planting Everbearing Straw- 

 berry patch that will produce heavy crop of delicious berries 

 the first season. 



Note that plants are set in beds 4 rows wide with plants 

 spaced 1 foot apart each way. 



A 24 inch path between the beds allows for picking, 

 weeding, where necessary, or other work to be done. A 

 patch 15 by 40 feet Avill take 500 plants and should produce 

 100 quarts the first season and thereafter. 



This new system first observed by us at Wooster, Ohio, 

 2 years ago and repeated observation has proved the merit 

 of growing Strawberries in this manner. 



Soil should be in prime condition with liberal amount of 

 fertilizer worked into the soil before planting, or fertilizer 

 can be applied with first working of the plants. SAWDUST 

 should be G months to 1 yr. or more old and applied after 

 first working and fertilizer is applied. You should put 1 inch 

 of sawdust at first application thoroughly covering the sur- 

 face and around the plants, more can be put on later but 

 never have it more than 1% inches deep. All runners should 

 be removed from plants as they form and grow them strictly 

 by hill system. 



Space herein limits full description, but we invite you to 

 write us for complete instructions on how to prepare your 

 soil, set and care for your plants to fruit production. 



Any everbearing type of plant may be used, but siich 

 varieties as Mastodon, Superfection, Streamliner and Red- 

 Rich seem to respond best. Write today for full directions. 



THE NEW 



red rich 



EVERBEARING 



TRADE MARK 



The Reddest, Sweetest, Tastiest Everbearing Straw- 

 berry offered in years. Promises to be rated among 

 the greatest everbearing varieties. 



(EVEKBEAKER) 



It outyields some of our best June bearing sorts during 

 their season and continues to bear throughout summer and 

 fall berries of amazing size and superior quality, being very 

 firm and attractive. For best results newly set plants should 

 be disbudded up to July I'st. They will then bear 'till frost. 

 They are groAvn very successfully by hill culture methods as 

 well as matted bed row system. Where hill culture is prac- 

 ticed, set the plants 15 inches apart in the row and have 

 rows from 2 to 2^ feet apart. This produces strong, robust 

 hills that produce very heavily. 



GEM 



Proving More Outstanding And Dependable 



Eacli Year 



One of the good everbearing varieties of recent introduc- 

 tion. Coming from the Middle AVest, it has adapted itself 

 to our conditions on the Eastern Shore very readily. We 

 find it to be an excellent plant maker, very productive. 

 Berries are large and real beauties of excellent quality. 

 We can recommend Gem. 



Plant Bountiful Bidg:e selected heavy fruiting: strain Gem 

 for a dependable everbearer. 



STREAMLINER 



Reports Continue Favorable On Tliis 

 New Everbearer 



Public approval from many sections attest its fine quality, 

 rich color and real strawberry flavor. Include a generous 

 planting for year around goodness. 



Streamliner is probably receiving more publicity than any 

 everbearing straAvberry of recent introduction. Coming from 

 the west it seems to be adapting itself to most central 

 and eastern growing conditiims. I*lants seem vigorous and 

 produce good spring croi)S and bear almost constantly dur- 

 ing late summer and fall. Berries are medium to large, 

 rich red color throughout, having a real strawberry flavor. 

 Streamliner makes a good fruiting bed and we recommend 

 it for trial. 



SUPERFECTION 



(EVERBEARER) 



IT'S NEW — IT'S BEAUTIFUL, — IT'S GOOD EATING. 



PEANT SOME IN SPRING. PICK BERRIES FROM 



EATE SU3I3IER UNTIE SNOW FEIES. 



Originated in Michigan and promises to take place of 

 many oldtime varieties due to its many excellent charac- 

 teristics. The plants adapt themselves to any soil without 

 extra care and are free plant makers. The berries are firm, 

 large, round and red throughout, they have a good flavor 

 and a pleasing taste. The berry is firm and does not dis- 

 color when taken from the plant. Worthy of trial plant- 

 ing in all sections. 



The "RED-RICH" is the result of 15 years of experimenting and cross-breeding by Marion Hagerstrom, a Minnesota 

 farmer, who has bred strawberry plants for more than 20 years. 



"RED-RICH" is a cross between P"'alrfax and Way/.ata and produced 10.000 quarts per acre in the 1949 test plots. It 

 is distinguished from all other strawberries by its deep red color, which runs through the entire berry. The fruit keeps 

 well after harvesting and may be held for several days in good saleable condition, so necessary to heavy production. 



The new plant makes possible for the first time a quick freezing and perfect thawing strawberry without loss of firm- 

 ness, flavor or natural sugars, offering farmers a greatly expanded market. 



Plants available fall and spring. Order early.
