STRAWBERRIES 
The fruiting plant that stands the severe condi- 
tions of Montana's cHmate with splendid credit to 
itself is the Strawberry. For the space it occupies 
in the garden it is hard to find anything to equal it 
and our patrons show a constantly increasing ap- 
preciation of this fact. To meet demands we have 
plants this year in greater quantity and variety 
than ever before. They are all fine plants, 
grov^Ti on our own ground. 
For years the Senator Dunlap has stood at the 
head in this state as a plant sufficiently hardy to 
endure all climatic vicissitudes. Thorough tests 
have proven that the Wra. Belt, Splendid, Stev- 
ens' Late Champion and Chesapeake are excep- 
tionally hardy and worthy in other respects. We 
heartily recommend them. Their culture will ex- 
tend the fruiting season very materially. 
Strawberries are either perfect flowered or im- 
perfect. The imperfect varieties should be planted 
in rows between those having perfect flowers. 
The best mate for Sample will be Wm. Belt; for 
Haverland, Buster, or Fendall, Senator Dunlap.

Sample of ^ 
Wm. Belt Berries J 
Grown on our Trial 
Grounds. 
Senator Dunlap, P— Hardy, strong grower, prolific plant- 
maker, good bearer of firm berries that stand trans- 
portation well. The best early, mid-season berry for 
Montana and more generally planted than any other. 
Wm. Belt, P.~No berry sufficiently hardy to stand our 
high elevations is equal to this in flavor. Plants are 
good sized and productive. A splendid mid-season 
berry, sure to please all who grow it who like fine 
fruit. 
Splendid, P.— A new variety in Montana and a very fine 
one. Plants are hardy and very productive. Berries 
are irregular in shape, but are of fine flavor. A money- 
maker for those who grow berries for market. 
Stevens' Late Champion, P.— First fruit matures about a 
week later than Senator Dunlap. Plants are admirably 
adapted to Montana; they produce quantities of ber- 
ries of fine size and flavor. 
Chesapeake, P. — Not as productive as the above varieties, 
but later. Unequalled by any other as a very lale berry. 
Plants very large and perfectly hardy. l''ruit stems 
erect, berries large and perfect in shape. 
Early Ozark, P.— In the south this variety has made a 
record for itself as an extra early variety. 
Aroma, P. — This is one of the leading shipping berries in 
the south. Its demonstrated excellence as a late berry 
makes it worthy of trial. 
Good Luck, P.— Plants large and very hardy If they 
produce according to size of plant they are all right. 
Ruby, P. — Does very well in all parts of the slate. Most 
of our customers find it a good yielder. 
Marshall, P. — A standard variety that has many friends 
in many parts 0f the country. It does very nicely in 
portions of Montana where the climatic conditions are 
not too severe. 
Sharpless, P. — A very old favorite, but we advise planting 
it only in the milder portions of the state, neither plant 
nor blossoms being as hardy as some of the newer va- 
rieties. 
Haverland, I. — An old-time favorite. Hardy and produc- 
tive. Berries uniform and bright red. 
Buster, L — Plants vigorous, hardy and fairly productive. 
Fendall, L — Does splendidly in some sections, but is not 
adapted to higher altitudes in Montana. 
Jucunda, P. — A great favorite in the western part of the 
state. No berry grown has a finer flavor. We recom- 
mend it heartily, but only for elevations under 4,000 feet. 
Glon Mary, P. — Does real well in Montana in the more fa- 
vored localities, where it produces a good crop of fruit 
on plants somewhat similar to Senator Dunlap. 
Bedervvood, P.— An early variety wortliy of trial. Fruit 
a shade light in color, distincti\o in appearance and 
of fair flavor. 
Any variety, (Postpaid) !50, $1.00; 100, $1.75
