TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL FRUIT PLANTS 



/ 



DR. BURRILL per^^ 

 Medium Early 



After fruiting Dr. 

 Burrill another sea- 

 son and reading ov- 

 er the grand report'^ 

 from hundreds of 

 our customers, we 

 feel that we cannot 

 recommend it too 

 strongly to our, 

 closest customers 

 and friends. No 

 matter where you 

 are situated, we be- 

 lieve that if straw- 

 berries can be grown 

 at all, there can be 

 a grand success with 

 Dr. Burrill. Dr. Bui- 

 rill is a scientific 

 cross between Crr,^ 

 cent and Dunlap 

 and thereforr 



comes of the be; * 

 strawberry blood i 

 the countrv. Thr 

 good qualities of 

 both varieties are 

 not lacking in the 

 Dr. Burrill. In plant 

 growth it is a mar- 

 vel. Plants strong, 

 healthy, deep rooted 

 without a blemish. 

 The mother 



plants grow to a 

 wonderful size. 

 The runner 

 plants are many and medium in size when 

 making first season's grov/th. We believe that 

 there has been nothing added to the strawber- 

 ry world that will be more beneficial than the 

 Dr. Burrill. In the production of fruit it is 

 simply immense in quantity and quality; aver- 

 ages larger than Dunlap, of which it is same 

 color and appearance. Is much firmer than 

 the parent Dunlap, and will stand shipping 

 from the Southern States. Dr. Burrill begins 

 blooming very early and continues for a long 

 f^e, and is a long season variety. Fruiting 

 season covers that of the early mid-season and 

 a portion of the late varieties. Has large per- 

 fect blossom, rich with pollen and is beneficial 

 to plant alternate rows in the fields with most 

 any other varieties. We secured our plants 

 from the introducer, and have grown a very 

 large stock this season as we were sold short 

 last season, and hope to have enough plants to 

 go around this time. Ask for special prices 

 on large lots. 



^ EARLY WOODROW (per) Early 



A new promising variety originated in this 

 section a few years ago. Fruit large, firm and 

 of good quality. Color, bright red. Plants 

 strong and healthy. Seems adopted to all parts 

 of the U. S. We recommend it for trial. 



KLONDYKE (per) Early 



This variety ranks with the Missionary and 



This Illustrates Dr. Burrill, Our Million Dollar Strawberry 



Dunlap as to popularity. Has been grown a 

 good many years and tested in all parts of the 

 country. Is noted for its good shipping quali- 

 ties and appearance. We have probably one of 

 the best strains of the Klondyke. We often 

 get letters saying that our plants produce more 

 than twice as many berries per acre as plants 

 from other sources. We have gro^^Ti this va- 

 riety for a good many years for fi-uit and have 

 done much experimenting with it in breeding 

 up our stock. In the first place we found that 

 there was likely to be a gi'eat many baiTen 

 olants in the Klondyke beds. WTien we exam- 

 ined some of our neighbor's fields who had 

 oracticed the method of taking plants from 

 the middle of the rows continuously year after 

 vear we found still more barren plants in the 

 fruiting beds. We began to select our propa- 

 Tating plants late in the season from the plants 

 'hat showed the largest crov.Tis and most fruit 

 -tems, being sure nothing else were taken 

 vhen setting our plots. In the first year we 

 'ould see a 50 per cent change between our 

 ♦^rial beds and our fields. Making a still more 

 :^areful selection another year we found not 

 only a fifty per cent change, but more than one 

 hundred per cent benefit in the favor of selec- 

 tion. We have practiced this method ever 

 ^ince. and have built up a wonderful productive 

 >^train of Klondyke plant.^. We have letters on 

 file that state our Klondyke plants are cheaper 

 at $10.00 per 1000 than the average plants 

 would be if given free.
