"LUCKY-STRIKE" (per) Heads the list 

 as there is no variety yet that can touch it for 

 quality. For this reason one of our Customers has 

 called it the aristocrat of the ever-bearing family. 



Fruit very firm, rich glossy red of medium to 

 large in size. Ripens a big crop in sixty days 

 after plants are set and continues all summer 

 and late fall. Makes plants freely when al- 

 lowed to grow in matted rows, but should be re- 

 stricted as all other ever-bearers ^nd grown in 

 hills for best results. The second year it pro- 

 duces a heavy spring crop of good size high 

 quality berries and continues all summer and 

 fall as first year. There is none to equal it for 

 home use. We are the Originators of Lucky 

 Strike, and for five years sold it at $1.00 per 

 plant. And the third year the demand was so 

 great that we bought back every plant we could 

 from our customers who had purchased it from 

 us at the same price, $1.00 per plant. 



We have never been able to get a large stock of 

 these plants, the demand being so great every 

 yeai^ And the price has necessarily remained 

 high. This year we have about one hundred 

 thousand Lucky Strike plants and advise placing 

 orders early to secure some of them. If you will 

 purchase 25 plants this spring and let them 

 make runner plants you can set a large garden 

 to them the following spring and nothing will 

 satisfy you more than a garden of the luscious 



berries all the year. 



MASTODON (per) 



For commercial pur- 

 pose the Mastodon is 

 the winner, it is the 

 largest ever-bearer in 

 size, and a great money 

 maker for the market 

 gardener. Mastodon 

 is firm enough to mar- 

 ket a good distance, 

 where a home market 

 is not near at hand to 

 take all the berries 

 you have. The plants 

 are strong and healthy, 

 and produce the en- 

 tire season from sixty 

 days after planting 

 until hard freezing sets 

 in. We have had 

 LUCKY STRIKE thousands of folks 



Genuine MASTODON 



from all over the United States visit us this 

 season and nothing we had to show them seemed 

 to interest them like our fields of ever-bearing 

 strawberries. We have fifteen acres planted to 

 Mastodon alone, I wish it were possible for every 

 one of our customers to have visited us and seen 

 with their own eyes this wonderful field of plants. 

 It is easy to grow Mastodon strawberries, and to 

 make big money growing them. On ordinary 

 rich soil one can easily expect from 5,000 to 6,000 

 quarts the first year plants are set and any 

 market will pay from forty to seventy-five cents 

 per quart for all you can grow and deliver. I 

 know of no other crop that will pay so much 

 money in such a short time. We figure our crop 

 of Mastodon plants to be around 2,000,000 

 plants which will not be enough to last through- 

 out the shipping season. And the only sure way 

 to get these plants in this Spring is to place order 

 as soon as you get this catalog. They surely will 

 not be any cheaper, and you may not get them at 

 any price late in season. This is the third year we 

 have grown Mastodon. The first year it took 

 us the whole year to weed out the mixed plants 

 that were sent to us by the introducers. We 

 have for three years gone over every row, time
