BRIDGMAN NURSERY COMPANY, BRIDGMAN, MICHIGAN 
you must check it by keeping the row cut 
down to about eight inches wide. Don't let 
the plants mat too thickly. 
The idea is this: Give them room. If you 
wish to supply your grocer, your table, or make 
shipments, Dunlaps will be on the job every 
time for dollars and quarts. Our Improved 
Dunlap will stand most any kind of weather, 
do best in a soil that is not too high or dry. 
PREMIER (Per.) The Premier is a fine 
berry. Its earliness and great productiveness 
will soon bring it to the front and one of the 
leading berries for market. Being compara- 
tively a new berry it is not well known, but 
those that have tried it during the past year 
praise it very highly and say it is a great 
acquisition to the standard kinds of berries. 
We recommend it being given a good fair 
trial. The plant makes a nice growth, has a 
bright waxy appearance, and is distinguish- 
able from other varieties. We have a nice 
stock of them. The introducer gives this 
berry a great boost. We have not fruited it, 
but from the description given by a reliable 
nursery company, would say it might be good 
business to try them. 
COLLINS (Per.) Introduced by Mr. C. E. 
Whitten of Brldgman, from whom we have pro- 
cured our supply of plants for propagating pur- 
poses. You run no chance of getting anything 
but the true Collins from us. The plant growth 
resembles Bederwood very much. Indications 
are that it is a much healthier plant and Mr. Whit- 
ten says the color is a deep red and has a good 
flavor. As we have not fruited this berry we still 
think it may be the berry for a great many people, 
and believe it will succeed where many others fail. 
AROMA (Per). A popular berry grown by 
many in place of the Gandy. Foliage smooth, deep 
green, of spreading habit. The leaves are long, 
broad and clean. As a pollenizer for late pistil- 
lates it is unexcelled. The berries of this variety 
are very large, bright red. The flavor of the fruit 
is deliciously aromatic and very rich, the flesh Is 
smooth and solid. A very popular berry in the 
South. 
CHARLES THE FIRST. Charles the First has 
proven itself one of the very best early berries, 
yielding more quarts of fine, large berries than 
any other iearly variety. It is a strong fertilizer 
and very thrifty grower; berries are large, regular 
in form. Recommended by successful berry 
growers. 
BRANDYWINE (Per.) The berries are glossy 
crimson, very handsome, firm and solid, excellent 
in quality, with fine aromatic flavor. Plant is 
remarkably vigorous. Midseason to late. Thrives 
best on good strong soil. 
BUBACH (Imp.) Fruit large and handsome, 
roundish conical, bright scarlet, moderately firm. 
Plant a strong grower, with large, healthy foliage 
and very productive. Succeeds on heavy soil. De- 
sirable for home use or near market. 
BEDERWOOD (Per.) One of the very best early 
varieties for home use or market. It is a splendid 
grower, making a large number of strong runners. 
It has a perfect blossom, and is immensely pro- 
ductive. Fruit of good size, light red, medium 
firmness. One of the best to plant with early 
blooming pistillate varieties. 
GIBSON (Per.) A wonderful Strawberry. Gib- 
son commences to bear with Senator Dunlap, War- 
field, etc.; owing to its productiveness it continues 
till quite late, so we class it with our medium late 
varieties. It is a very strong grower, with long 
roots that withstand dry weather; has plenty of 
dark green foliage to protect its enormous crops 
of fruit from the direct rays of the sun. 
The Gibson, the berry that is bound to make 
Bridgman as famous as the automobile has made 
Detroit; real genuine Gibson can only be found 
here, its home and origin. It should by all means 
be in every collection and is the best berry before 
the American people today. Once grown always 
grown. One of the reasons is that it holds its 
size; the last berry is just as large as the first. 
One young lady picked during the past summer 
in ten hours 368 quarts. This will give you an 
idea as to its size and the ease with which it 
came off the vines. It is a good shipper and a 
good firm berry and uniform in size. The berry 
that everyone will plant when known. It is but a 
few years since its introduction and nearly every 
order has Gibson in it and eventually it will be 
the universal berry. 
The vines are loaded with berries. You will 
hardly understand how the plants can produce 
such quantities of fruit. 
Berry is extra large. One of our very largest 
strawberries. 
Beautiful dark glossy red. The flesh of the 
berry is red clear through. Calyx bright green, 
adding to its beauty and market value. 
Flavor fine; a perfect table and canning berry 
and owing to its tough skin is one of the very best 
shipping varieties. 
Fruit stems strong and upright. This keeps the 
fruit clean and easy to find and pick. 
The Gibson has been grown extensively in this 
county for several years, and is one of the most 
profitable commercial strawberries in the great 
"Fruit Belt." Will produce 850 cases on an acre. 
Growers are setting Gibson in large lots. 
This berry is gaining every year in popularity, 
and has been miscalled by many who have cor- 
rupted the sound Gibson by giving it the name of 
Gypsies.
