PICKING THE WINNERS 
Early 
Premier 
The safe early strawberry. Frost proof. Has produced a crop every 
year for 28 straight years since its introduction. Very productive, 
profitable and popular in all Northern and Middle States. 
Fairfax 
Best of all in quality. Quite productive. Berries large, firm, beautiful, 
becoming dark when full ripe. Ideal berry for home garden. Very 
profitable for roadside market, fancy trade. High quality brings 
repeat sales. Widely adapted North to Middle South. 
Dorsett 
A most profitable early berry for us. At its best equals Premier in 
productiveness. Superior in size, firmness, beauty. Much better in 
quality. Avoid very cold frosty sites, far North. Blakemore light 
and quite tart is fine, early shipping berry adapted chiefly from Maryland South. 
Midland, a new medium early berry of good size, beauty and productiveness. 
Midseason 
Catskill 
Big Joe 
Late 
Chesapeake 
sections. Lupton- 
quality. 
The safe midseason berry. 12 years without a crop failure. Heaviest 
producer of any leading variety — more big berries than any other. 
Good quality, firm, attractive. Adapted from Canada South to Mis- 
souri and North Carolina. Best midseason berry. 
Preferred by many to Catskill — especially in Middle States. It must 
be good to be among the leaders for so many years. Often sells 
with Chesapeake. 
The aristocrat of Strawberries. For years highest selling 
late berries. Large, firm, very beautiful, fine quality. Con- 
sidered shy plant maker but our present strain has always 
made plenty of plants. Most profitable late berry in many 
a very productive and profitable large, late shipping berry. Poor 
Very Late 
Redstar 
We regret that we have no Redstar this year. It is the best very 
late berry we have even seen to extend the season after 
Catskill, Lupton and Chesapeake. Don't forget this berry as we 
hope to have plenty of Redstar plants for you next year! 
Everbearing Most popular and widely grown Everbearer. A strong grower^ 
I Berries large, good quality, good shippers, excellent for home 
Nlfl^f l^flUM use and most generally used when planting for profit. A fine 
spring cropper in addition to summer and fall berries. 
Gem 
Better, than Mastodon with us. More productive, more profitable, berries 
prettier, better shipper, equal in quality. Not as good as Mastodon foi 
spring crop. Gemzata, Green Ntn., Minnesota 1166 newei 
varieties well worth trying. Better in some ways than Mastodon and Gem
