SENATOR DUNLAP (Dr. Burrill) 



Medium Early 



The Senator Dunlap is one of the leading va- 

 rieties for the Western States. We grow hundreds 

 of thousands New Ground Dunlap annually to 

 supply our Western trade, who demand Town- 

 send's Strain of Dunlap. It is an old variety which 

 we have specialized in for years, and one that seems 

 to have no equal in the Western States. Trial 

 tests at our Nurseries have shown that Senator 

 Dunlap and Dr. Burrill are one and the same va- 

 riety. Therefore we are listing it as Senator Dun- 

 lap, which is the original name for this fine berry. 



Vigorous Grower — Dunlap has a deep feeding 

 habit and will withstand considerable amount of 

 dry weather; more so than any other variety. For 

 this reason it is well adapted to the Western States. 

 It usually makes a good fruit bed under unfavor- 

 able growing conditions. 



Fruit is of good size and a beautiful bright red 

 color, with plenty of gloss and very firm. It is a 

 splendid shipper and of excellent quality when 

 grown in the regions adapted to it. 



Productiveness — The Western Growers find Sen- 

 ator Dunlap to be an exceptionally heavy yielder on 

 their soils, as it sets fruit very heavy and when 

 properly fertilized matures practically a 100% crop 

 of fancy fruit. 



DUNLAP 



Holds High Honors in 



the Western States 



We have grown a fine stock of Sen. Dunlap for our Western 



customers this year. The above photo shows a portion of our 



10 acre field where your plants will be dug this year 



Plants always come thru in fine shape 

 Lancaster County, Nebraska. 

 The strawberry plants purchased from 

 you last year withstood the severe drought 

 and made nice rows of plants across my 

 patch. Your plants always come thru in fine 

 shape in spite of the distance.

Other Early Varieties of Strawberries Having Special Merits 



BEAVER (Early). A cross of the Dr. Burrill and Premier. 

 Our Western customers reporting it to be in many ways 

 superior to Dr. Burrill and Premier. The fruit is large, bright 

 red, of very firm texture and an ideal variety for long ship- 

 ment. We have approximately 50,000 plants to offer our cus- 

 tomers who are interested in Beaver. We recommend it for 

 the Western and Northwestern States. 



BEZiliMAR (Early). We recommend Bellmar for the 

 Southern States, including Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado 

 and Nebraska. It ranks high as an early berry because of 

 its handsome appearance and heavy crop-producing possi- 

 bilities in dry regions. 



KliONDYKE (Early). A Strong hardy grower espe- 

 cially adapted to North Carolina, South Carolina, 

 Southern Illinois, Tennessee and Missouri. Fruit me- 

 dium to large in size. A bright rich, red berry; very 

 round, firm and an excellent shipper. Klondyke is one 

 of the oldest varieties on our list. 



COOPER (Medium Early). A berry of very large 

 size; coarse in texture, running very uneven in shape. 

 Does well in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and West- 

 ern New York. Our supply of Cooper is limited.
