Big Joe Strawberries 



Big Joe Is Still Going Strong 



With us and in most other strawberry growing sec- 

 tions Big Joe still takes the lead as being the most 

 profitable midseason variety to grow. Since we first 

 began growing Big Joe we have tried scores of other 

 varieties and have not yet found a better one. It is an 

 all-around good berry for both home and market use. 

 Plant Big Joe and be assured of bountiful crops of 

 richly flavored berries during early midseason to late. 



Big Joe does well on all types of soil, but like most 

 all berries does best on fertile soil. Begins fruiting 

 just as the early varieties start to run down therefore 

 most always brings a premium over other varieties at 

 it season of ripening. They make a very vigorous plant 

 growth, are very productive of large, bright red ber- 

 ries that have a large green cap making them very 

 attractive. Whether you retail your berries at the 

 farm or local markets or ship to distant markets you 

 should include Big Joe in your plantings and we are 

 sure you will be delighted with the results. 



Aberdeen For Hardiness 



In some sections of Pennsylvania and New Jersey 

 this variety is very popular and is paying the growers 

 well. With us it is not nearly so good in any way as 

 Big Joe and our growers do not favor it. If it does well 

 in your section we will appreciate your order. 



Fruit is mdium to large, of conical shape, an at- 

 tractive dark red, of very good quality. We cannot 

 recommend this variety for distant shipping in re- 

 frigerator cars but for markets within 300 miles it is 

 recommended for its hardiness, ability to fruit under 

 most trying conditions and its productiveness. We 

 would like you to try it in comparison with Premier 

 and Big Joe. It may be just what you want.
