POT GROWN Stn<uule^ Pla^ 



We have specialized in the production of these healthy Strawberry 

 plants with their delicious berries for well over 60 years, and their ever- 

 increasing popularity is the best witness of their ability to thrive and give 

 satisfactory results. 



All varieties offered have "perfect flowers." 



For hill culture in the family garden, plant in rows 2 feet apart and 



the plants a foot apart in the rows, cutting off all runners as they appear.

apart and the plants 1 foot apart in the rows.

Fairiax. Early to midseason. Over a long 

 fruiting season and on nearly all soils, Fair- 

 fax bears many big, plump, solid berries 

 which ripen evenly to a deep red, and hold 

 their firmness and flavor splendidly. This 

 flavor is probably the most refined in rich- 

 ness and sweetness of any Strawberry yet 

 introduced. 



Lupton. Late. Amazingly attractive big, firm 

 fruit in great quantity.

These are the Strawberries with two dis- 

 tinct fruiting periods, one in June with the reg- 

 ular sorts, and another in the fall.

 vorite everbearer, combining heavy yielding 

 qualities, large size, and reliability of crop, 

 with a flavor unequaled by any other fall 

 berry. It bears the largest and finest fruit 

 imaginable over an exceptionally long 

 period. Pot-grown plants, $1.50 per doz., 

 $10.00 per 100.
