General List of Strawberry Plants 
We wish to draw your attention to our perfect collection of Strawberry Plants, both June and Fall 
Bearing. 
We have been growing Strawberries for market for many years, and know certain conditions are 
necessary to produce the best. You want to get the money as soon as you can and as long as you 
can. To do this your plants should be strong in vitality, healthy and productive. They should come 
fi'om new iields where they have been grown for resetting purposes. 
We know of no crop which will give you so much money for your labor as you will get out of a 
few acres of Strawberries. Everybody likes to pick them. The larger the patch the easier it will be 
to get pickers, and right here your mistakes will show if your plants are not healthy and strong. 
The descriptions we give of our plants are true and you can rely on them. It is to our interest 
as well as yours to get you started right. Size, color, firmness and productiveness are of greatest 
importance. Quality and season also count. If you have made the right selection, suitable for your 
location, you are started right. One acre of strawberries will grow from two to seven hundred 
cases, and will give you all the way from $100 to $800. 
Strawberry money comes in early; it brings you in touch with leading business men, when you 
come to sell, and will keep you abreast of the times. There will be no occasion to look at the nickels 
so closely. They will be larger; there will be dollars where there were nickels. Your boys and 
girls, wife and mother-in-law will all be good natured when the Strawberry is ripe and ready to pick. 
Now comes the golden harvest, now comes the money that we have wanted. All have something they 
want, and if you made your patch large enough there will be plenty and to spare. An acre of straw- 
berries will correct many financial difficulties. 
Set them on a good piece of land. Your berries will be nicer, larger and better if set on your best 
ground. An acre of Strawberries is worth from 5 to 20 acres of corn any time. Give your berries 
good clean cultivation. 
New Varieties. We always have new varieties in our test beds. If they prove of value, we offer 
them to our trade. 
June Bearing Varieties 
SENATOR DUNLAP does well in most localities, 
is a fine table and canning berry, a good shipper, 
an excellent cropper. 
You can't go wrong if you set Stahelin's Dun- 
laps, which by continuous selection for health, 
vigor, and productiveness have continued to im- 
prove under our system of cultivating this strain, 
until they are recognized by Fruit Plant Inspect- 
ors, by men thoroughly versed in the ways of fancy 
fruit culture, by nurserymen, by our neighbors, 
as a plant of highest merit, with productive quali- 
ties unsurpassed. The berry is a beautiful crimson 
color, large size, firm, dark red flesh, its bright 
golden seeds making it very attractive. On account 
of its great firmness it can be shipped to distant 
markets. Holds up a long while after being picked. 
The wonderful vigor of the plant will fill your 
row a long time before any of the others get fairly 
started. Right here your future success lies, for 
a beautiful crop of large, showy berries. The 
plant makes runners so freely that it would cover 
the entire surface of the ground, and you must 
check it by keeping the row cut down to about 
eight inches wide. Don't let the plants mat too 
thickly, then they will have a chance to produce 
berries of which you will be proud. 
You would not expect to raise 25 or 30 chickens 
in a soap box. You would either sell or give away, 
or buy a larger box for more room; neither would 
you expect very large radishes or cabbages if you 
sowed ten times more seed than you needed. 
The idea is this: Give them room. If you wish 
to supply your grocer, your table, or make ship- 
ments, Dunlaps will be the very best 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.
