RED STAR 



(Rod SicVi 



JcWigax 



(Early to Midseason. Perfect Flowering) 



When brought direct from Garden to Table 



it is Supreme 



Fairfax is a quality fruit par-excellence. It 

 was bred of a popular American variety, Pre- 

 mier, and the outstanding English variety 

 which has often been referred to as the berry 

 "fit for a king," Royal Sovereign. 



The plants are very hardy and disease re- 

 sistant. The flower stalks are strong, and 

 produce quantities of perfect heavily pollened 

 flowers that are larger than most strawberry 

 blossoms The berries are very large, some- 

 what blunt in shape, and bright red with 

 prominent yellow seed. When over-ripe, the 

 fruit turns dark red but still retains its firm- 

 ness and delicious flavor. 



Price, pot-grown plants, $2.00 doz.; $14.00 

 per 100; 50 or over sold at the hundred rate. 



(Very Late, Perfect Flowering) 



Commercial growers and home gardeners 

 alike are demanding an extremely late straw- 

 berry of good quality. From the commercial 

 angle because very late berries bring good 

 prices; and from the home gardeners stand- 

 point because whetted appetites demand more 

 and more delicious fruit. Extensive tests 

 have proven that Red Star is the latest vari- 

 ety in cultivation, surpassing all of the popu- 

 lar late sorts. 



The berries average very large and are 

 bright red and glossy. The plant makes a 

 luxuriant large growth. 



Price, pot-grown plants, $2.25 

 doz.; $16.50 for 100; 50 or over 

 sold at the hundred rate. 



(Very Early, Perfect Flowering) 

 (Shown in colors on back cover) 



This brand new introduction of 

 the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture is 

 the sweetest and most attractive 

 extra early strawberry that has 

 ever been developed. In size it is 

 slightly smaller than Dorsett. but 

 it makes up in prolificacy. The 

 plant develops a vigorous, 

 healthy growth, high quality, 

 sweet and delicious flavor.

(Midseason, Perfect Flowering) 



Combines Beauty, Flavor, Quality 

 and Productiveness 



Recently developed by J. H. 

 Clark at the New Jersey Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station, Path- 

 finder is the result of a cross be- 

 tween Howard Premier and Aber- 

 deen, and it combines the de- 

 sirable qualities of both. Its foli- 

 age is vigorous and upright, much 

 like the Howard Premier, and that is as near to perfection as could be desired. 



The fruit is large, smooth and round, and very uniform in shape. Its color, 

 which is a rich bright rosy red, makes it extremely tempting. It is for this 

 reason that commercial growers for local trade will find it profitable, buyers 

 select it in preference to others. 



Pathfinder is an ideal strawberry for the home garden, because its texture 

 is soft and luscious. It possesses a tantalizing aroma which bespeaks a delight- 

 ful piquant flavor so much desired in a dessert fruit. 



It is disease resistant and can be grown successfully in areas where the Red 

 Stele fungus is prevalent. 



Price pot-grown, $2.00 doz.; $14.00 per hundred; 50 or over sold at the hun- 

 dred rate. 



Purchaser pays transportation charges on plants. If you wish your order sent by 

 Parcel Post, please add 10% to value of your order for shipments East of the

A Distinctive Show Berry That Is 

 As Good As It Looks 



Introduced by the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture a few years 

 ago, Dorsett has during that 

 short time established itself as 

 one of the finest and most prof- 

 itable strawberries in the world. 

 For prolificacy, it enters the rec- 

 ord-breaking class; under check 

 tests it yielded 6.640 quarts to the 

 acre. 



The plants are vigorous, with 

 deep rich green foliage, runners 

 are produced in abundance. The 

 flower stalks are strong, and the 

 fruit is held well above the 

 ground. The beautifully molded, 

 conically shaped, bright red ber- 

 ries are large and uniform in ap- 

 pearance. 



The outstanding merit of this 

 berry, however, is not its size or 

 appearance, but its delicious fla- 

 vor, which has been bred into it 

 through a lineage of recognized 

 richly flavored parents. 



Price, pot-grown plants, $2.00 

 doz.; $14.00 per hundred; 50 or 

 over sold at the hundred rate. 



Perfect vs. Imperfect Flowering 

 Strawberries. 



The blossoms of strawberries are 

 either bi-sexual (perfect flower- 

 ing) or are destitute of stamens 

 and are termed pistillate lor im- 

 perfect flowering i. Pistillate vari- 

 eties must have a row of a per- 

 fect-flowered sort, planted every 

 nine or twelve feet apart among 

 them, or, better yet, every third 

 or fourth plant in the row, to 

 pollenize their blossoms. All va- 

 rieties listed in this catalog with 

 the exception of Chesapeake are 

 perfect flowering.
