WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 
EARLY VARIETIES 
EAR LI DAWN 
Earliest of all 
EARLIDAWN is the greatest of all varieties for its earliness in ripening. 
Protection of bloom by the short flower stems, produced by vigorous plants, 
makes it the most frost proof of any variety we know at present. EARLI- 
DAWN plants make adequate runners under satisfactory conditions of soil 
and moisture. Susceptibility to verticillium wilt and red stele are inherent in 
this fine variety, however, and where either may be present in the soil, 
EARLIDAWN is not recommended for planting. Berries are large in size, firm, 
of fine rather tart flavor, glossy and vivid red. These qualities make EARLI- 
DAWN berries excellent for marketing, table use, freezing and preserving. 
We vote EARLIDAWN tops for early from North to South! 
MIDLAND 
Freezing excellence — early — highest quality 
For freezing and preserving excellence you can't go wrong with MIDLAND. 
MIDLAND berries are very early, firm, with bright red color clear through — 
and of high flavor. The dulling of color when held, however, keeps it from 
being as great as it could be on the wholesale market 
MIDLAND is not a variety we consider free in runner production but under 
proper care, plants are large and vigorous. Although not fully hardy, 
MIDLAND has in its favor resistance to leaf spot and leaf scorch. 
I just had to write and tell you how beautifully the plants grew that I ordered last year. 
It was my first venture in raising strawberries and far exceeded my wildest expectations. 
I did not Jose a single one and they are big, beautiful, robust plants.
