BIG JOE 



THE OUTSTANDING MID-SEASON VARIETY 



See Illustration Inside Front Cover 



g|Q JOE ^'^^^ Johnson) is one of the best, if not the best of the mid-season to 

 late varieties and the kind to plant if you want a big crop of fancy ber- 

 ries. Beginning to ripen just as the early berries start to run down they always bring a 

 premium of a dollar or two a crate and is the best variety I know of to go with Premier 

 (or Dorsett and Fairfax) and Chesapeake to give you a full crop of fancy berries from 

 the beginning to the end of the berry season. The plants are exceedingly vigorous and 

 make fine fruiting beds on most any kind of soil that will produce strawberries, but, like 

 most other varieties, responds quickly to a little extra care and fertilizer. 



Berries are bright red in color with a large bright green cap that makes them very 

 attractive, firm and of excellent flavor making a fine table berry, are almost perfect in 

 shape, of very large size and produced in great abundance for so large a berry. Sells 

 for top prices and whether you retail your berries, sell at the farm or roadside stand or 

 ship to market you should include Big Joe in your planting for I am sure you wlil be 

 pleased with the results. 



]Q|^^ BURRILL ^"^onie times called the million dollar strawberry but it is 



identical with Dunlap or so near like it you would not need 

 to buy the two and I am giving description under that variety. 



Jgp^^Uf'J'Y "^ good mid-season variety for the northern half of the country where 

 the markets are nearby but not so good for the south as it is not firm 

 enough to ship to distant markets. The plants make a vigorous root and top growth, 

 the foliage being tall, can be easily told from other varieties at a distance. I fruited 

 Beauty for two years ; I sold out of plants last year, and with me they set a heavy crop 

 of fruit but the foliage did not hold up so well especially in a dry season and many of 

 the berries sun scalded. Should be planted north of Mason-Dixon line where you would 

 not likely have this trouble. Berries are large, rather pale red in color and of good 

 quality.
