BETTER PLANTS CANNOT BE GROWN THAN WE OFFER

Big 



f -l a The only imperfect flowering variety we list. It could 

 J-«cxl.e be classed as one of our greatest berries if it did not 

 have this fault. It must be interplanted with other varieties to pro- 

 duce good crops. This being done, it is one of the most productive 

 varieties in cultivation. The plant is a strong grower and disease- 

 resistant. The berry is medium to large and unusually attractive. It 

 is very profitable if given proper polonization. 



■ iir^f"^k»-» A fancy late shipping berry similar to Chesapeake in 

 LiUpiUll s i Z e and appearances but does not have the quality the 

 Chesapeake has. We recommend it where you cannot get satisfac- 

 tory beds of plants of Chesapeake, because the Lupton will do equally 

 as well on most all soils, making abundance of plants and being a 

 vigorous grower, and you can always depend on a good crop of Lupton 

 berries. 



VERY LATE VARIETIES 



Gandy 



A tried and proven real late berry. A vigorous grower, 

 making plants freely, preferring springy soil to come to 

 its best. Berries are large, very firm and attractive. 



W»«tlii*»<*'l"r"fcl*» A new late varie ty introduced recently in 

 ▼Y woillllglvlll Michigan. The introducer seems very enthu- 

 siastic about it, saying it is a good plant maker, big cropper, berries 

 large, glossy, deep rich, red-like black heart cherries. Keeps very well. 

 The plant seems to be a vigorous grower with us, and seems worthy 

 of a thorough trial.

.MASTODON 



THE KING OF ALL 

 EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 



HARVEST A CROP THREE MONTHS AFTER PLANTING THE PLANTS AND CONTINUE TO PICK 

 THE BERRIES TILL FROST COMES. A FEW THOUSAND MASTODON PLANTS PLANTED ON GOOD 

 SOIL AND CARED FOR MEANS AN INDEPENDENT INCOME. The crop the following spring almost 

 equals our best one-crop varieties. They require good fertile soil, and if given this and good cultivation 

 they will delight you with a fine crop of large, beautiful, luscious berries. Our stock of Mastodon plants 

 are genuine and selected for productiveness. Be sure and order some for this spring's planting. 



The best everbearing strawberry yet introduced, called by some western specialist "The Wonder Berry." 

 This variety is supreme among all ever-bearing varieties even as the Premier is supreme among the early 



spring bearing varieties. 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 attrac- 

 tive. For best results newly 

 set plants should be disbud- 

 ded up to July 1st. They 

 will then bear till frost. 

 They are grown very suc- 

 cessfully by hill culture 

 methods as well as matted 

 bed row system. Where 

 hill culture is practiced, 

 set the plants 15 inches 

 apart in the row and have 

 rows from 2 to 2y 2 feet 

 apart. This produces strong, 

 robust hills that produce 

 very heavily. 



Lucky Strike 



Introduced recently by an 

 eastern plant grower and is 

 worthy of planting. We do 

 not consider this variety 

 equal to Mastodon, but it is 

 superior to Progressive and 

 Champion ever-bearing 

 sorts. It is a persistent 

 yielder of medium to large 

 berries of very good quality 

 and good appearances. 

 Makes plants quite freely 

 and is a vigorous grower.
