Strawberry plants* 
T is surprising what a quantity of luscious 
berries can be picked from a garden patch of 
strawberry plants. One who enjoys fresh ber- 
ries, direct from the garden, with their delicious 
fla-vor, rich aroma, and beautiful color, needs no 
argument to convince him that they are far 
superior to berries obtained in the market. Straw- 
berry plants are of easiest culture, requiring only 
usual garden conditions. Plants set out this 
Spring will, by another season, have formed solid 
rows, and produce a full crop. Set plants for 
garden culture in rows from one to two feet 
apart and the plants in the rows from six to 
twelve inches apart, depending on the method 
to be used in cultivating. 
We have many new varieties on trial, but offer 
below only such varieties as we believe are sure 
to give general satisfaction. 
Varieties marked (P.) are pistillate; (S.) staminate. 
Every fifth row or about every fifth plant in the 
row should be a staminate variety to get the heaviest 
yield of fruit. 
Brandywine (S). Rich color and large size. 
Mid-season to late. Plants vigorous. 
Bubach (P). This is one of the greatest favorites 
throughout the entire country. It is a splendid 
bearer of fine quality fruit which is large and 
showy. Ripening season intermediate. 
Gandy (S). This is a leading late variety with 
fruit growers everywhere. The plant is of 
extremely robust habit; fruit large and firm. 
The best yield is produced where the ground 
is under a high state of cultivation. 
Glen-Mary (P). Deep crimson, very shapely and 
large size, and of best quality. Plants vigor- 
ous growers. 
Haverland (P). Very productive of medium to 
large, conical berries that are smooth, regular, 
mildly subacid. Pollinated with some highly 
productive perfect-flowering sort, it yields enor- 
mous crops of superb berries. Early and one 
of the most valuable market sorts. 
Lester Lovett (S) (New). See illustration. A 
giant in growth and extra late. Quality of a 
high, rich flavor and with a delightful aroma. 
McKinley (S) (New). Vigorous, healthy and great 
yielder of finely formed, rich colored, delicious 
fruit. Ripening in mid-season. 
President (P) (New). See illustration. Strong 
grower with luxuriant foliage. Ripening its 
fruit in mid-season. Fruit very large and 
round, of solid texture and rich quality. 
Very productive. 
William Belt (P) .(New). See illustration. Early 
season. Luxuriant grower and very produc- 
tive. Fruit often of enormous size. Rich 
colored, firm, and of the best quality. No 
fruit could be more desirable for the home 
garden.
