TENNESSEE NURSERY CO., CLEVELAND, TENN. 
or perfect flowered, and one that lacks stamens, but has pistils, is called a "pistillate" or im- 
perfect flowered variety. Perfect flowered varieties can be planted alone, and will bear good 
crops of berries, but imperfect flowered varieties will not bear good berries when planted alone. 
They must have the companionship of a "staminate", or perfect flowered variety, in order to 
produce perfect fruit. For practical results it is best not to have them over fifteen feet apart. 
If we plant a patch of pure Warfield, Bubach or Haverland, the fruit will be seedy and mostly 
nubbins, but if Aroma, Gandy or Klondike are planted near the Warfield or Haverland, the 
fruit, both in quality and quantity, will be remarkable. Varieties in this catalogue marked 
(Per.) are perfect in flower, and those marked (Imp.) are imperfect in flower. 
The strawberry is an American product. It adapts itself to a wider range of latitude and 
to greater extremes in environment than any other cultivated fruit. It is universally liked, 
and is cosmopolitan in its adaptation. Afcer talking and corresponding with a large 
number of strawberry growers over the country, Presidents and Secretaries of Straw- 
berry Growers Associations, and from our experience in growing berries, we suggest 
that you plant Aroma, Klondike, Lady Thompson and Gandy. Mr. Chat Wasman, 
a leading grower of Rhea County, Tennessee, said, in an address to the Bradley 
County Farmers: "After trying and testing many varieties of strawberries, I have concluded 
that Aroma, Klondike, Gandy and Lady Thompson are the best sorts to plant from a com- 
mercial grower's financial standpoint. These varieties bring a better price, as a rule, than any 
other sort. There arc men in my county who have made a fortune by growing Aroma, Klon- 
dike, Lady Thompson and Gandy. Nearly all growers have discarded all other varieties in 
my county." 
We have tested nearly all commercial varieties of berries, and we have found the Aroma, 
Klondike, Lady Thompson and Gandy the most profitable of all. We have shipped the ber- 
ries North, South, East and West, and on nearly all markets the Aroma, Gandy. Klondike 
and Lady Thompson brought the better price, and arrived in better condition than any other 
varieties. By selecting the above mentioned varieties you can make no mistake. You get 
early and late berries. 
LATE WINTER AND EARLY SPRING PLANTING 
In nearly all latitudes you can plant strawberries most successfully in the late winter and 
early spring. If you can find an hour in the day that the ground is not frozen you can plant 
and they will do extra well. In Michigan, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, etc., plants 
planted in the late winter and early spring do better than planted in late spring. 
A warm, quick soil, although naturally poor, is to be preferred to a heavy retentive soil 
well supplied with plant food. The lacking plant food can be easily supplied by the addition 
of fertilizers. The plants not only thrive better on light soil, but the crop is more abundant 
and the berries are larger and sweeter.
