GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

Downing's Bride and President 
NO TWO pistiliates ever introduced give more universal satisfaction than Downing's Bride and President. The 
President produces just enough runners to give an ideal fruiting bed, which saves a large amount of labor for the 
grower. I owning s Rride makes a long runner and a very strong plant. Both of these varieties are exceedingly pro- 
ductive of just such berries as shown in the above illustration, and we hope that every grower will order enough of these 
varieties to test them and be convinced of their great value. 
Plants for Testing 
"IV/f ANY strawberry growers send us plants 
to test, and we are always glad to re- 
ceive them and give them the best of care, 
never forgetting that there are large possibili- 
ties in this line of work. From chance seed- 
lings have come some of the most delicious 
and beautiful of our fruits, and every grower 
owes it to himself and to the world to do 
what he may to advance the cause by such 
work as this involves. Sometimes we get 
plants from growers who have failed to prop- 
erly indicate from whence they came. One 
day last season we received three packages, 
two of which bore no mark of identification. 
After some correspondence we succeeded in 
straightening the matter out — we think and 
hope. But the risk is too great. Alwaj's in- 
dicate in plain letters on the package of plants 
full information, about as follows: "From 
John L. Smith, Jonesville, Mich., 25 'Beat- 
em-air Strawberry Plants." Then, even 
though your letter be lost somewhere on the 
way, we shall know from whom and where 
the plants come, and the name of the variety 
which the originator has given it. And this 
will enable us to preserve records, so important 
in all experiments of this nature. 
You are particularly invited to asnd us a photograph of your field or patch. Tht best views are given places of honor 
in our catalogue.
