GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES AND HOW TO GROW THEM

Clark's Seedling, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. Our Pacific 
Coast customers find this variety to be of especial 
value for commercial purposes and take the 
plants by many thousands; and wherever Clark's 
Seedling is grown it always brings high prices. 
We are confident that every grower who tries 
it out will be greatly pleased with results. It 
is a handsome oerry and its color is peculiarly 
attractive. The form is well shown in the illus- 
tration abov^, but it is not so easy to tell of the 
attractiveness of the fruit, because its deep, rich- 
red color, which extends clear to the center, adds 
so much to its beauty. As a canner it is famous 
and its shipping qualities have been tested as 
have those of few varieties. It has been ship- 
ped from the Hood River country to St. Paul, 
Minnesota, in large quantities and with great 
success. The foliage is medium large, dark 
green in color, and the variety makes very strong 
runners. This is the fifth year of its selection 
and restriction in our breeding beds, and the 
more we see of this splendid variety the greater 
is our confidence in it. 
UNDEVELOPED EAR 
Result of Poor Seed 
VOU can get seed from a weakened strain of corn like this 
* for about 50 cents a bushel, and it is miprhty costly at that. 
If it is cheap seed you want, buy this kind; but if it is a good 
crop of biff cars of corn you are after buy the $5 kind. Corn 
is corn, and strawberry plants are strawberry plants, but 
there is a big difference at harvest time.

'EED from a strain of pedigrree com like this will cost you 
$5 per bushel and is the cheapest seed you can buy. 
Arizona, B. (Male) 
MEDIUM EARLY. Bisexual. This variety has 
won and holds the admiration of growers wher- 
ever it has been seen. It is a variety which, 
under favorable circumstances, yields a second 
crop in the fall of the year in many latitudes and 
comes as near being the ideal "double cropper" 
as anything we know. The spring crop from 
this variety is remarkable for its size and quality, 
something that seldom occurs in the case of the 
so-called "ever-bearing" varieties; therefore, 
whether it yields a double crop or not all should 
give this variety a good opportunity to prove its 
high value. Arizona is a producer of large-sized 
deep-red berries, which have a fine aromatic 
flavor. The foliage is dark green and of medium 
size. This is the eighth year we have grown 
this variety in our breeding beds and we have 
taken great care to propagate only from mother 
plants which show a strong double-cropping habit; 
therefore, we confidently expect this characteris- 
tic to become more pronounced with each pass- 
ing season. 
coming spring. I sometimes buy plants of dilTer- 
ent firms. The plants all look alike, but the other 
fellow's plants don't yield the fruit that your 
plants do. I have five acres of strawberries and 
still I would like to have some more of your va- 
rieties." Ernest WiEHL. 
Canton, Feb. 9, 1909. "Your plants are all 
right. I have a lot of plants of my own, but will 
not plant very many of them. The Thorough- 
breds are the cheapest in the end."

Cadmus, Jan. 22, 1909. "This is my third year 
ordering plants from you, and I know I shall 
never buy plants of anyone else, for they are 
O. K. Never got any from any other firm that 
were even half as good." Laura Bailey. 
Sebewaing, Mich., Aug. 4, 1909. "From the 
plants I purchased of you a year ago last spring 
we started to pick berries June 19 and continned 
four weeks. We sold 1450 quarts besides what 
we used for table and canning, which amounts
