General List of Strawberry Plants 
We wish to draw your attention to our large and perfect collection of Strawberry Plants, 
both June and Fall Bearing. 
We have been growing Strawberries for market for many years, and know certain qualities 
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 from new fields 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. Kverybody 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 in- 
terest 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, suit- 
able 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. Tour 
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 strawberries will correct many financial difllculties. 
Set them on a good piece of land. Your berries wHl 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. You will 
have the buyers lined up for future sales. 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 DUNIiAP does well in most local- 
ities, 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 
improve under our system of cultivating this 
strain, until they are recognized by Fruit Plant 
Inspectors, by men thoroughly versed in the 
ways of fancy fruit culture, by nurserymen, by 
our neighbors as a plant of highest merit, with 
productive qualities 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 to 30 chick- 
ens 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 
shipments, Dunlaps will be the very best every 
time for dollars and quarts. If you will get 
our Improved Dunlap they will stand most any 
kind of weather, do best in a soil that is not 
too high or dry. Be sure to get enough of our 
Improved Dunlaps. 
PARSON'S BEAUTY (Medium Season). This 
variety is adapted to the cooler sections. The 
plant Is healthy and strong. Berries of very 
delicious flavor. Ideal berry for long distance 
shipments.
