List of SeBected and Tested Strawberries 



EARLY STRAWBERRIES 



Blakemore. The new early shipping berry that was de- 

 veloped by the United States DeiDartment of Agriculture. 

 It has been thoroughly tested in nearly all the straw- 

 berry producing centers and is rated as the best new 

 berry in many years. Blakemore is a scientific cross be- 

 tween Premier and Missionary, it makes an even more 

 vigorous growth than Missioiiary. We believe it is the 

 coming early berry to plant in those sections which are 

 distant from the markets. 



DORSETT. A product of the m.aster plant breeders of the 

 U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Dorsett is destined to become 

 a favorite berry after it becomes better knovvn. Its ripen- 

 ing period begins at the same tim.e as Premier, but has a 

 longer season and larger yield. The quality of fruit is ex- 

 traordinarily good and has a highly pleasing appearance. 

 This variety is vigorous growing and under normal con- 

 ditions makes a heavy matted bed. We believe that it 

 will pay everyone interested in strawberries to test this 

 variety out along with Fairfax. The experimental results 

 so far given the Dorsett ranks it as the best or one of the 

 best varieties of strav/berries ever originated. 



FAIRFAX. A new promising early berry that was origi- 

 nated by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. It has been 

 tested in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey and has 

 given exceptionally good results both in qixality of fruit 

 and yields. Those who have eaten it claim it is a better 

 berry in quality than the leading old standard varieties. 

 In production tests it has outyielded the standard com- 

 mercial kinds. Its best points are: large size firm ber- 

 ries of attractive color, superior in flavor, vigorous and 

 healthy foliage, large yields per acre, and resistant to 

 frost. We advise every grov/er to try this variety out in 

 a small way as we believe that it is going to make a 

 highly profitable berry. 



Klondyke. An old-time variety that has been grown in 

 the Southern and Eastern States. At one time it was 

 the most profitable early berry, medium size, good qual- 

 ity, moderately productive berry. 



Missionary. Medium size, of good color and fine flavor. 

 It is extensively grown in the South because of fine 

 appearance and good keeping quality. A good commer- 

 cial or home berry. 



Plant Harrisons' Quality Strawberry Plants for 

 profit and pleasure. Since 1884 we have experi- 

 mented with strawberries, seeking the perfect 

 development of such varieties that would prove 

 most satisfactory both to commercial and home 

 growers. Our soil and climate of the Eastern 

 Shore of Maryland makes it the ideal plant- 

 growing section of the United States. 



Our strawberry plants are recognized by au- 

 thorities as standard. The rich, fertile soil that is 

 unequalled anyv/here and a mild winter climate 

 tempered by the Atlantic Ocean, give our plants 

 a vigorous growth and sturdy root systems, which 

 asstires their uninterrupted growth after trans- 

 planting. 



Strawberries Pay 



strawberries are a very profitable crop; many 

 growers have made over $i, 000.00 per acre, but this 

 is when everything is favorable. We believe, how- 

 ever, that the growers who plant our selected va- 

 rieties and care for them in an tip-to-date manner 

 will make a good profit. He will not likely m.ake 

 $1,000.00 a year per acre average, but strawberries 

 even in an unfavorable year will make som^e 

 money for the grower, and in a good year when 

 prices are high the grower will make a fancy 

 profit. What other general farm crop will do this 

 for you? More money in one acre of strawberries 

 in a good year than in fifty acres of other gen- 

 eral farm crops.
