W IVfl • BELT Whenever quality and 



large size are consid- 

 ered, Wm. Belt ranks with the best. Is probably 

 the most popular fancy variety and always brings 

 fancy prices. Does best in the middle and north- 

 ern states. It is quite productive of extra large 

 berries that are somewhat irregular in shape; color 

 a beautiful bright red. firm and of the very best 

 quality. Largely planted in many sections, and 

 if you have a market that will pay a premium for 

 quality Wm. Belt is the variety to plant. I have 

 a good supply of plants this season and will please 

 you. 



.ARC^IVfl Al Is one of the most popular late 

 varieties on account of its large 

 size, attractive appearance and excellent quality 

 and is extensively planted in all sections of the 

 country and especially in the south and central 

 states where probably there is a larger acreage of 

 Aroma than any other variety. Plants are strong, 

 vigorous growers and are heavy producers of 

 large, round almost perfect shaped berries that 

 are bright red and attractive in appearance. A 

 strictly high-flavored high-class market berry and 

 one that you can ship to distant markets and will 

 reach there in almost perfect condition. A real 

 money-maker in many sections. 



WM. BELT 



G».ANDY A fancy extra late shipping variety that is very extensively grown in some 

 sections and usually brings top prices for the quality of the Gandy is known 

 in every market throughout the country. Makes plants freely but should be grown on black 

 springy soil as it needs plenty of moisture at fruiting time. The berries are of large size, very 

 firm, being one of our best shippers and will not spoil if picking is neglected for a day or 

 two; are bright red in color, handsome in appearance and of excellent flavor. 



Everbearing Varieties 



Everbearing strawberries should be planted in the garden of every family in America that 

 likes strawberries (and who does not like them) so they can have nice luscious strawberries 

 during the late summer and all fall for they will begin fruiting in about 90 days after setting 

 and keep it up until freezing weather, just think of having delicious strawberry shortcake 

 any time you want it or having them prepared the way you like best. This is easily possible 

 and takes very little room for them for each plant will produce, if conditions are favorable, 

 about one quart of fruit during their long fruiting season. There is no secret to it and you can 

 have them with very little expense. Just procure some good everbearing plants and set this 

 spring like you would do the spring bearing varieties, unless planted by the hill system, give 

 good cultivation and keep blossoms removed until about July 1st or until plants get started 

 good when you can let them ripen fruit; if you have never planted them try some this year 

 and I am sure you will be surprised and delighted with the results, and if you plant Mastodon 

 you will also have a big crop of fruit next spring. Many growers make enough and more 

 than enough to pay the expenses of growing them, from the sale of fruit in the fall and still 

 have their spring crop which is practically all net profit. 



In planting everbearing I would suggest using the hill system, unless a heavy spring crop 

 is wanted, that is setting the plants closer together and keeping all or most all of the runners 

 pinched off as the plants will then make larger crowns and bear more fruit in the fall than if 

 allowed to make runners. A good plan is to allow each plant to put out two runners, one on 

 each side of the plant, and each runner to make one plant and each plant spaced equal distance 

 apart, which if the plants were set 15 inches apart would make a plant every 5 inches down 

 the row. If a heavy spring crop is wanted would use the matted row system spacing the 

 plants when hoeing so they will not be too close together.
