PICKING THE WINNERS 
The safe early strawberry. Frost proof. Has produced a crop every 
year for 29 straight years since its introduction. Very productive, 
profitable and popular in all Northern and Middle States. 
Best of all in quality. Quite productive. Berries large, firm, beautiful, 
becoming dark when full ripe. Ideal berry for home garden. Very 
profitable for roadside market, fancy trade. High quality brings 
repeat sales. Widely adapted North to Middle South. 
A most profitable early berry for us. At its best equals Premier in 
productiveness. Superior in size, firmness, beauty. Much better in 
quality. Avoid very cold frosty sites, far North. Blakemore light 
and quite tart is fine, early shipping berry adapted chiefly from Maryland South. 
Midland, a new medium early berry of good size, beauty and productiveness. Best of 
the newer varieties.

souri and North Carolina. Best midseason berry. 
Catskill 
Big Joe 
Preferred by many to Catskill — especially in Middle States. It must 
be good to be among the leaders for so many years. Often sells 
with Chesapeake. Robinson very highly recommended by Mich- 
igan growers.

% V^U|IvmIIV made plenty of plants. Most profitable late berry in many 
sections. Lupton — a very productive and profitable large, late shipping berry. Poor

Very Late ^"he ^ atest very good and the "best very late variety. Set Redstar 
to extend the season of good quality, high priced berries. Sure 
cropper as late blossoms escape frosts which kill many 
earlier kinds. 
Redstar 
Everbearing Most popular and widely grown Everbearer. A strong grower. 
Berries large, good quality, good shippers, excellent for home 
use and most generally used when planting for profit. A fine 
spring cropper in addition to summer and fall berries. 
Mastodon 
Gem 
Better than Mastodon with us. More productive, more profitable, berries 
prettier, better shipper, equal in quality. Not as good as Mastodon for 
spring crop. Gemzata, Green Mtn., Minnesota 1 166 (Evermore) 
newer varieties well worth trying. Better in some ways than Mastodon 
and Gem.
