Pay for a 

 Farm with 



Str 



awberries 



A farmer \n hu lived in Phila- 

 delphia last season kept a 

 record of the Strawberries his 

 famils' used, and of their cost. 

 On July I the average price he 

 had paid was at the rate of fi\ e 

 cents for three berries. Now, 

 such prices mean bit; pay to 

 growers, and this man saw 

 how, by his own efforts alone, 

 with a little help at picking 

 time, he could make $2,000 

 a year growing berries. 



That's why he planted an 

 acre on his Penns\lvania farm, 



At harvest time here we look more like a fruit farm than a nurserr 



and why he put Strawberry plants between his young orchard trees. 191 1 

 will find him on his farm taking care of these plants. He will pay all the 

 expenses of those growing trees, till they bear, with the berries which are 

 grown between the rows. His farm is paid for now, but he can tell of the 

 struggle it took to accomplish that, and he will tell that it could be done 

 over again in half the time with Straw'berries sold on present markets, and 

 the purchaser could live in luxury compared to the way he had lived while 

 paying for it before — not without steady and hard work, but for more pay.

Seven of the Best Kinds of Strawb: 



Here are seven sorts wliich lia\e passed all others in the race for popularit\'. They are tlie "nearest perfection*" kir 

 are good growers, thrive in any soil, the berries of all are of fine appearance and of the very finest flavor and qualit\ . ^ 

 gi\'e most of our attention to tliem, and a large part of our more than lOO acres of Strawberries is in these kinds. No < 

 will make a mistake in planting them. 

 BUBACH. Beautiful bright red, neither dark nor light. Foliage dark and waxy. Berries thick. nieat\. fine-grained, of 



weighing an ounce and a quarter each. Plants thrive in any soil and in any section, and have stout crowns. \' 



short stems and low plants. 



DUNCAN. Medium to large, brilliant red, with very firm flesh, subacid flavor and excellent appearance. Not a n 

 variety, and as yet is little known. We have acres of Duncan, and have fully tested it for every purpose. It has a gn 

 deal of merit as a shipper and as a prize -getter. Plants vigorous, large and bear regularly. 

 GANDY. W^ith the exception of Millionaire, Gandy is the latest of all Strawberries. Brings highest prices, yields trein 

 dous crops. Bright red, with somewhat smooth surface. Foliage broad and dark green. Berries are 



borne on long, upright stems, well above the leaves and 

 dirt. Will not spoil if picking is neglected for a few days 

 after they are ripe. As a late market sort and long-dis- 

 tance shipper, the best kind we have grown. Plant is a 

 perfect bloomer, strong and vigorous, but should be set 

 near other bisexuals. Our best -paying late berry. 



HAVERLAND. A medium-early variety of fine appearance. 

 Berries arc medium to large, rich, bright red, long and 

 pointed, and very tempting in appearance. Will thrive in 

 any soil and under almost all conditions, dark, long leaves, 

 lots of strong runners formed, crops are nearly always 

 large. One of the most valuable for commercial planting. 

 Should be w^ell pollenized by other kinds growing near. 



MILLIONAIRE. Though new, has been grown and thor- 

 oughly tested beside other good sorts with entire satisfac- 

 tion in every respect. Berry medium size, dark, rich red, 

 well-shaped, very showy. Latest of all Strawberries — 

 later than Gandy — and it has all of Gandy 's good points. 

 Foliage strong, makes a very large number of plants, and 

 more quarts of berries than any kinds except the Bubach 



One Klondyko bush that did its full share claSS. BloSSOmS perfect.
