STRAWBERRY PLANTS OF QUALITY 



BIG JOE 



For Many Years The Leading Mid-Season Variety 



Also called Joe Johnson. A very popular variety and the kind to plant if you want 

 a big crop of fancy berries. Beginning to ripen just as the early berries start to run down 

 they always bring a premium of a dollar or two a crate. Big .Joe and Catskill arc the 

 best varieties I know of to go with Premier (or Dorsett and Fairfax) and Chesapeake to 

 give you a full crop of fancy berries from the beginning to the end of the berry season. 

 The plants are exceedingly vigorous and make hue fruiting beds on most any kind of soil 

 that will produce strawberries, but. like most other varieties, responds quickly to a little 

 extra care and fertilizer. 



Berries are bright red in color with a large bright green cap that makes them very 

 attractive: firm and of excellent flavor making a line table berry, are almost perfect in 

 shape, of very large size and produced in great abundance for so large a berryj Sells 

 for top prices and whether you retail your berries, sell at the farm or roadside stand or 

 ship to market you should include Big Joe in your planting for I am sure you will be 

 pleased with the results. 



PATHFINDER Formerly known as New Jersey No. 35 and originated by the 

 New Jersey Experiment Station as the result of a cross of 

 Aberdeen and Premier. Ripens a few days after Premier. The berries are regular, 

 roundish conic in shape, medium to large in size, bright red in color, moderately firm and 

 of good quality. Plants are vigorous, healthy growers and sets a heavy crop of fruit. 

 Recommended for trial. 



PKYOR'S plants are grown especially for plants on high land and after they are 

 planted are given the best of care with all the plant food they can use making strong 

 vigorous plants — storing up that pep and vitality that will make them grow and produce 

 results when planted in your soil. 



Care of Plants When Received — When plants arrive they should be removed from 

 express or postoffice as soon as possible and set in cool place and if they appear to be 

 very dry should be dipped in water or better still let them stand in water (roots not fol- 

 iage) for two or three hours or possibly overnight so they will drink sufficient water 

 to freshen them up and if for any reason you are not quite ready to set plants they can 

 be kept a week or two by unpacking them, carefully separating each .variety, untieing 

 bundles and healing in V-shaped trenches, dampen the roots, if this has not been done, 

 but not the tops, firm soil around them with foot and shade from sun. 



LATE VARIETIES 



AROMA ^ very popular late variety on account of its large size; attractive 

 appearance and excellent quality and is extensively planted in all sec- 

 tions and especially in the middle west. 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. 



Q. j\ N D Y ^ fancy extra late shipping variety that is very extensively grown in 

 some sections and usually brings top prices for the quality of the Gaudy 

 is known in every market throughout the country. Makes plants freely but should be 

 grown on black spring soil as it needs plenty of moisture at fruiting time. The berries 

 are of large size, very firm, being one i 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. 



W M. BELT Whenever quality and large size are considered, Wm. Belt ranks 

 with the best. Is probably the most popular fancy variety and al- 

 ways brings fancy prices. Does best in the middle and northern states. It is quite pro- 

 ductive 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 Win. Belt is the variety to plant.
