PICKING THE WINNERS 
Early ^ e sa * e ear *y strawberry. Frost Proof. Has produced a crop every 
J year for 34 straight years since its introduction. Very productive, 
PvAHIIAF profitable, and popular in all northern and middle states. Allen's 
i I V III 161 Premier — an amazingly vigorous strain! 
Fairfax 
Midland 
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. Where quality tells, 
Fairfax sells! 
Outstanding New Early Berry. Plants equal Premier in productiveness. 
Berries larger, firmer, better quality than Premier. One of the best for 
freezing. Midland weakness — makes too few plants. Blakemore, 
light and quite tart, is a fine early shipping berry adapted chiefly 
from Maryland South. Blakemore is the great southern shipping berry. 
. , The leading midseason berry. Heaviest producer of any leading 
midsePSOn variety — more big berries. Good quality, firm, attractive. Excellent 
for freezing. Catskill weakness — less vigorous than formerly unless 
selected stocks are used. Adapted from Canada South to Missouri and 
North Carolina. Best midesason berry — it's safe. 
Catskill 
Temple 
First introduced as red stele resistant variety. Very vigorous and pro- 
ductive. Now leading variety in Eastern Maryland, replacing Blake- 
more. Big Joe, a fine old variety. Still good but giving away to newer, 
more productive kinds. Robinson proving itself in certain sections 
of the North and Middle West. 
Late ^ quantity producer for Northern States. Very vigorous, very produc- 
tive; berries medium size, excellent quality, rich red clear through; 
becoming popular for freezing. Red stele resistant. Chesapeake, the 
aristocrat for berry fanciers. Tenn. Beauty, an impressive new 
shipping berry. 
Sparkle 
Fairpeake 
Highest quality — as good as Fairfax. Berries large, firm, beauti- 
ful. Rather shy plant-maker. Worthy of its noted parents- 
Chesapeake and Fairfax. 
Very Late ^ e ^ atest ver y 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. Some fascination detracts. 
Redstar 
Everbearing Better than Mastodon with us. More productive, more profitable, 
berries prettier, better shipper, equal in quality. Not as good as 
|H Mastodon for spring crop. 
Ge 
Mastodon 
Most popular and widely grown Everbearer. A strong grower. 
Berries large, good quality, good shipper, excellent for home 
use or market. A good spring cropper in addition to summer and 
fall berries. 
rf I A H Similar to Gem but better. More vigorous grower, much 
illQll more productive. The Winner among the Everbearers.
