Senator Dunlap 
Spring Bearing Variety 
Seuiilor Diinlnii — Out of a long list of more 
than thirty spring bearing- varieties 
which vvc used to catalog, we now retain 
bvit one, the Senator Dunlap; a product 
of the Mississippi Valley and especially 
adapted to it. Probably no other variety 
of fruit ever introduced here has given 
as universal satisfaction, as this" one. 
Every claim made for it has been more 
than met. Some of its strong points are: 
1. — A clean, healthy and vigorous plant; 
capable of resisting intense cold and se- 
vere drought, and making an abundance 
of good and strong plants when almost 
every other variety fails. 
2. — A long blooming season, with an 
abundance of pollen, making it one of the 
best .self-fertilizers, and also the best for 
fertilizing pistillate varieties. 
.3- — A long fruiting season — coming in 
with the medium early and holding out 
when most others are gone — developing 
and ripening all its berries. 
. f— Uniformly large, well shaped, dark 
bright red glossy berries with a very large, 
bright green calyx. Berries of the finest 
quality and flavor. 
5. — A good keeper. Its long keeping 
qualities and attractive appearance make 
It more saleable than most others. 
6. — A good canner, retaining its bright 
red color in the cans. 
We obtained our breeding stock direct 
from the introducer. Our plants are pure 
and the best that can be produced. 
Fall Bearing Variety 
AmorlouH — For several years we have 
sought a variety to place beside the Sen- 
ator nunlap and now one has appeared 
7— The Amerlcus Pall Bearing straw- 
berry. This new fruit really belongs in 
a class by itself, it is so unlike the com- 
mon varieties. The Americus is the re- 
sult of one man's many years of cease- 
less effort to produce a successful fall 
bearing strawberry, and is a most re- 
m.arkable variety and the best of all the 
fall bearing sorts. 
Plants set early in the spring will 
make a mat of new plants and all will 
produce a crop of fruit in the fall It 
produces fruit continuously from JVTav 
until November, and young plants be- 
gin be.'ii-ing a.s soon as rooted, unless 
disl>udded. The fruit is medium to large 
liiight light red, very solid, and has the 
splendid flavor of the native Wild 
Strawberry. The plants are very vigor- 
pus, deep rooted and healthy, 'and the 
blossoms strongly self fertilizing. 
Pronrosslve— Claimed to be the best fall 
bearing strawberry yet produced It 
closely resemlilcs Dunlap. The fruit is 
of good size and about the shape, color 
and nuality of Dunlap, and the plants 
are almost as vigorous growers.
