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. 



Gandy The Standard Extra Late 



This is one of the old varieties that ranks as a 

 leader among extra late shipping berries. It does best 

 in low, springy land as it needs plenty of moisture 

 through fruiting season. Gandy is not a heavy pro- 

 ducer but the berries are very large and of excellent 

 quality, fruit bright red with a large dark green cap; 

 this helps make them very handsome. They will 

 stand shipping to distant markets and will arrive in 

 perfect condition. For a berry to follow Chesapeake 

 we recommend Gandy if you have the above mentioned 

 land. They make a good fruiting bed of plants.
