STANDARD VARIETIES OF 
STRAWBERRIES 
WE HAVE NO STRAWBERRY PESTS 
STATE INSPECTED 
culture; — To secure extra large fruits, the hill culture, 
i. e.. setting the plants 2 feet apart each way, and in the kitch- 
en garden 15 inches each way, keeping all runners trimmed, 
will give the best results. The strawberry grower who grows 
for market and money will hardly find the above system as 
profitable as setting the plants from 12 to 
IS inches apart in the row and the rows from 
lYz to 3 feet apart. His aim should be, the 
first season to grow a strong mother plant, 
fruiting it for the two following seasons, 
and as soon as the second crop is harvested, 
plow the field down. 
When your plants arrive, unpack at once, protect the 
roots from drying winds. When ready to set in the field, set 
the bunch of plant roots in a pail of muddy water and open 
the soil with a broad dibber (a handy tool can be made 
from a spade cut down to about five inches in width) as deep 
as the roots are long, pressing the soil firmly around the 
plants and roots. Don't set too deep that the crown may be 
covered with earth, or not deep enough that part of the roots 
are exposed. 
96 — NICK OHMER — This variety has become practically a 
universal favorite, especially noted for its fine, rich flav- 
or, for its large, well-shaped berries and rich crimsoa 
color of its fruit. 
80 — AROMA— :While a trifle later than the intermediate varieties, it will yield a 
Tery large part of its crop in the very first pickings; it will continue about 
as late as Gandy, and with us it produces a fair picking after erery other 
variety has quit. It is planted extensively both North and South. 
81, — WARFIELD — The most popular pistillate variety grown. It is large, beau- 
tiful, cone-shaped berry with a fadeless, dark red exterior; the deep color 
ie extended clear to the center of the fruit. Any variety that we offer will 
fertilize it except Gandy or Aroma. 
82 CLARK'S SEEDLING — This variety originated in our state; a seedling of 
the old popular iWilson variety. Like the Hood River, a near relation, it is 
■Dsurpassed as a shipping variety, and in some sections very prolific. 
95__CHESEPEAKE; — iWe have added this most popular late variety upon the 
eadorsement of many critical strawberry growers. 
83 MAGOON — Indeed in this splendid berry we have almost perfection. Of 
Jtrst quality, great productiveness, attractive shape and color; nothing better 
for canning. For the local market or home garden, nothing surpases it, 
and with but few equals. 
84 HOOD RIVER — The leading standard shipping variety. The berry that 
has made the town of its name famous, and its growers financially rich. 
Dark red color, uniform size, good quality, but not heavy in yield. A »pe- 
cialty berry for the grower whose market is somewhat distant.
