How to Enjoy Abundant 

 Crops of Fine, Big 



STRAWBERRIES 



It matters little where you live — North, 

 East, South, or West — or what character of 

 soil you have to contend with, Strawberries 

 will grow in any climate and thrive in most 

 any soil, providing it is not low and sour. 

 As a matter of fact, Straw^berries are the 

 berry delight for every man's garden. And 

 by a judicious selection of varieties particu- 

 larly suited for your soil and section, plus 

 the ever ready Everbearers, a succession of delicious berries 

 may be enjoyed from early June until heavy frosts put a stop 

 to the maturing power of the plant. 



Within the limitations of the home garden it pays well to 

 take particular pains in the preparation of the soil. The beds 

 should be dug or plowed deeply and liberal quantities of well- 

 rotted manure should be incorporated. Particular care should 

 be exercised to have the surface rich, mellow and well provided 

 with plant food, for the Strawberry plant is a heavy but 

 shallow surface feeder. A top dressing of ground bone will 

 be found a great benefit at fruiting time. 



For hill culture in the famil}^ garden, plant in rows two 

 feet apart and the plants a foot apart in the rows, cutting 

 oflf all runners as they appear. If to be allowed to grow in 

 matted rows, set the plants in rows three feet apart and the 

 plants one foot apart in the rows. 



Pot-grow'n Strawberry plants can be satisfactorily shipped 

 by parcel post. Add 10% to your remittance if shipment by 

 parcel post is desired. Pot=grown plants of all sorts (except 

 as quoted): dozen, $1.00; 100, $7.00. 



BUN SPECIAL— A glorified "Senator Dun- 

 lap" producing far more fruit than that popular 

 old variety, and the fruit is larger. Early to 

 midseason. 



BIG LATE— One of the finest late varieties. 

 Ranks with best in vigor of plant growth, pro- 

 ductiveness and quality. Large, bright, glossy 

 red berry; excellent shipper. Dozen, $1.50; 100, 



THE 

 POT-GROWN 

 PLANT THAT'S 

 BOUND TO 

 GROW AND 

 BEAR 



EDMUND WILSON— A giant in both plant 

 and fruit. Of superb quality, but not firm 

 enough for distant shipment. Fruit is very 

 dark in color. Midseason. Dozen, $1.50; 100. 

 $10.00. 



$10.00. 



LUPTON— THE BEST OF ALL 

 LATE FRUITING SORTS 



EARLY JERSEY GIANT— The earhest va- 

 riety producing large fruit, and by far the best 

 extra early variety. Of extra high quahty, very 

 attractive and extremely productive. It is surely 

 "the Strawberry without a fault." Dozen, $1.25; 

 100, $8.00. 



GANDY— Introduced over thirty- five years 

 ago and even now probably the most popular 

 late fruiting variety. Very firm; of only fair 

 quality, but decidedly attractive in color and 

 shape. Does best on heavy soil. 



LUPTON— Very much like Gandy, but much 

 more productive and about five or six days 

 earlier. We consider this one of the very finest 

 of the varieties fruiting late. 



MARSHALL — Midseason. Very popular 

 throughout the New England States and New 

 York. Of high quality and fine in every way. 



NEW YORK — A prize winning midseason va- 

 riety. Fruit extremely large and w^ell colored; 

 produces an extra large crop of berries on very 

 poor soil. A fine variety for all purposes. 



PREMIER— Extra early. Produces vast 

 quantities of good size attractive berries of 

 excellent qualitv. 



SENATOR DUNLAP— Early to midseason. 

 Probably the most productive variety yet in- 

 troduced. Fruit not very large, but of good 

 qualitv. 



WILLIAM BELT— An "all season" variety, 

 fruiting from early to late. Very popular on 

 account of its extreme high quality, and the 

 fact that it does well on a great variety of 

 soils. 



SPECIAL: 



Pot=grown strawberries are in all respects superior plants.
