Fairfax 



The top-quality berry. 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. 



Midland 



Outstanding New Early Berry. Equals Premier in vigor, productiveness. 

 Berries larger, firmer better quality than Premier. Best of all for freez- 

 ing. Dorsetl, where adapted it equals Premier in size, productiveness, 

 and firmness. Much better in quality, beauty. Avoid cold, frosty sites, far North. Blake- 

 morOf light and quite tart, is a fine early shipping berry adapted chiefly from Maryland 

 South. Blakemore is the great southern shipping berry. 



Midseason 



Catsiciil 

 Big Joe 



Late 



Cliesapealce 

 Fairpealce 



The leading midseason berry. 14 years without a crop failure in most 

 sections. Heaviest producer of any leading variety — more big berries 

 than any other. Good quality, firm, attractive. Adapted from Canada 

 South to Missouri and North Carolina. Best midseason berry — it's safe. 



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. Temple has high vigor, productiveness, quality. Red 

 stele resistant. Best in low springy soils. Middle States. RQblnson« 

 Sparkle proving themselves in certain sections in the North. 



The aristocrat of Strawberries. For years highest selling late

 plenty of plants. Most profitable late berry in many sections. 



Highest quality — as good as Fairfax. Berries large, firm, 

 beautiful. A new berry destined to become a leader. 

 Chesapeake Beware! 



Very Late 



Redstar 



Everbearing 



Mostodon 



The latest 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. 



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. 



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. Green Mountain, Gemzalat Evermore, Slreamliner« 



newer varieties well worth trying. Better in some ways than Mastodon 

 and Gem.
