arrival please accept them and examine them carefully. We will make a replacement for any that are © 
not satisfactory or refund the full purchase price. Our plants are carefully packaged to withstand at least —

How to Choose the Best Strawberry Varieties 
Your choice of strawberry varieties depends, to a large extent, on the purpose for which they are | 
to be grown. Some varieties are especially good for fresh eating, while others are quite tart, but good for 
long-distance shipping. Some are superior for freezing, and others are extra good for preserves. Some 
varieties will give fine results in nearly any soil, while others require very good growing conditions. Some 
varieties are resistant to diseases while others are susceptible. Below is a list of general strawberry char- 
acteristics when grown under normal conditions. It must be remembered that excess fertility and other 
conditions can greatly alter strawberry qualities. Thus, we strongly recommend that you try several | 
of the most desirable varieties and decide which ones are best for your particular location. Complete | 
descriptions of all our strawberry varieties are given in this catalog.
