STRAWBERRY PLANTS OF QUALITY 11 
Mid-Season Varieties (Continued) 
DR. BURRILL (Per) 
Sometimes called the million dollar 
strawberry. A fine table berry and 
unsurpassed for canning. A heavy 
producer of large, beautifully formed 
berries that are a deep glossy red, 
juicy and of delicious flavor. Fruit 
solid, therefore a good shipper. The 
originator says Dr. Burrill is a scien- 
tific cross of Dunlap and Crescent, but 
is so much like Dunlap that I do not 
see the need of setting the two. 
Dr. Burrill 
HAVERLAND (mp) 
One of the best of the old standard varieties and is popular especially 
for home use and near market. Fruit medium to large, conical, color bright 
red, firm and of fair quality. Plants good growers and very productive. Should 
be pollenized with Dunlap or Dr. Burrill. I have the largest supply of Haver- 
land I ever had fine plants of a fine old variety. 
GIBSON (Per) 
Gibson and Parsons Beauty are the 
same or so near the same that you do 
not need to set the two. It has been 
introduced under several names and if 
that is an indication of its worth 
should be a very good variety, and in 
fact is a valuable variety. The plants 
are healthy and vigorous and make 
good fruiting beds on almost any soil. 
A great favorite with market garden- 
ers and canners throughout the coun- 
try. Very productive the plant being 
simply loaded with berries. Fruit of 
medium to large size, dark red in col- 
or and of fine flavor. Gibson is not 
firm enough for distant shipping but 
is very popular for canning. 
STRAWBERRY CULTURE IN A NUTSHELL 
Plant early in the spring; cut off all blossoms that appear the first year; 
keep out the weeds and mulch with straw after the ground freezes in the 
fall—Dean Ralph, R. Watts, in Market Growers’ Journal.
