MID\A/AY 



Can't be beat 



It isn't necessary to ask why MIDWAY has made such giant strides in popularity 

 the last few years — we know why! And so do all our Midway growers! 



This great midseason variety grows well on heavy soils or on lighter soils 

 with irrigation. The vigor and vitality of MIDWAY plants insures excellent 

 crops of medium large, deep red berries. Great for table use and they are better 

 than good for freezing and shipping. A bonus with MIDWAY is good resistance 

 to red stele. We expect heavy calls for this terrific variety and urge that you 

 order early to reserve your MIDWAY plants. See beautiful MIDWAY berries 

 on Page 20 and order now! 



I have ordered plants from you for 18 years. A/ways glad to recommend your 

 plants to any one interested in growing strawberries as they are hardy and 

 vigorous growing — and the berries are never misrepresented. 



Sincerely, R. S. Doll

POCAHONTAS 



Wide adaptability for good yields 



POCAHONTAS has been a sales leader from the upper South through the 

 Midwest for several years. This is partly due to wide adaptability to climate 

 and soil. Growth and vigor of plant production makes it an easy variety to 

 grow. When you add to this feature, excellent yields of large, firm, bright red 

 and rather tart berries that ship or freeze well, then you will begin to realize 

 why POCAHONTAS is still at the top. See color picture, page 20. 



Dear Sir: I have had a thousand of your Pocahontas plants twice and I had good 

 success each time. I — and the Good Lord raised over 2,000 quarts from a thou- 

 sand plants in three successive years. I live here along the Illinois River hut my 

 berry patch is on a sloping hillside. The soil is clay hut it contains a percentage 

 of sand which keeps the clay from becoming too hard to work. 



Three years ago, I planted a thousand of your Pocahontas plants and got over 

 2,000 qts. But the point I wish to make is that on one end of the patch, I hal 

 much bulldozing work done. The top soil had been taken off as much as 18". 

 Well, needless to say, I didn't have any weed problem. Hal Would you believe, 

 however, that despite the fact that you could see that the plants did not progress 

 as well as on the rest of the patch, that I picked as many or more berries fbig 

 ones] from these plants as I did over the rest of the patch? This only goes to 

 prove that you have good plants — and that Pocahontas can grow any place. 



Yours truly, Loren L. Ottwell 

 Pearl, 111. 



My present crop is yielding at a fantastic rate! Fairfax and Pocahontas. Both 



ourselves and neighbors marvel!
