PICKING THE WINNERS 



EARLY Still the outstanding profit maker. No other is even 



close to it in all around worth. No variety is perfect, 

 but Premier approaches perfection. BLAKEMORE is 

 the next best early variety and as a long distance ship- 

 ping berry even better than Premier. BELLMAR, the 



n&vj United States Department of Agriculture introduction combines many of 



the good qualities of both. 



MIDSEASON Not as universally popular nor valuable as Premier 



but still about the best all around midseason berry. 

 ABERDEEN and BEAUTY come next. Where Big Joe 

 is not at its best either of them may completely satisfy 

 your needs for a profit making midseason berry. 

 Aberdeen for shipping or trucking; Beauty for local or nearby market. 



Premier 



Big Joe 



LATE 



The Aristocrat of strav^berries. Where 

 it grow^s M^ell no variety, not even Pre- 

 mier, will surpass it as a profit maker. 

 Equally good for shipping, local mar- 

 ket, or home garden. If your soil does 

 not suit Chesapeake, plant LUPTON for a large late shipping berry, WILLIAM 

 BELT or BIG LATE where attractiveness and quality are most important. 



Chesapeake 



EVERBEARING 



This variety stands Supreme among the 

 Everbearers. Excellent for the home 

 garden and the only Everbearer worthy 

 of planting for profit. CHAMPION, 

 though not as large as Mastodon is popu- 

 lar for the home garden because of its very high quality. 



Aroma, Gandy, Dunlap, Gibson, Sample and others are excellent varieties. 

 Grow these if you know and like them, but if you are inexperienced or uncertain 

 stick to the winners picked above. 



Mastodon 



ASPARAGUS ROOTS Mary Washington 



Washington Asparagus is generally recognized to be the best variety, and 

 Mary Washington the best strain of that variety. Leading asparagus growers 

 say that it starts earlier, produces more and larger stalks, possesses the high- 

 est rust-resistance, and will net more money per acre or more satisfaction in 

 the home garden. We have a nice lot of extra-fine one-year-old roots. Price 

 list, page 23.
