Strawberries. 
These delight in good rich soil, but will grow on any soil 
capable of growing good general crops. By planting early, 
medium and late varieties, the grower is supplied with fruit 
the entire season. As a fertilizer we recommend well rotted 
barnyard manure as superior to all others. 
For field culture plant in rows 3>/Z feet apart, 18 inches 
apart in the rows. For garden culture 18 inches apart each 
way. leaving a pathway every third row. 
After the ground is frozen in the fall, give a very light 
covering of leaves or straw, just enough to shade the plants, 
to keep the soil from thawing and freezing when the sun 
shines. Remove the covering in early spring when the 
plants begin to grow. If part of this covering is left between 
the rows, it will act as a mulch and help to keep the fruit 
clean. 
Perfect and Imperfect Blossoms: The varieties marked 
P" have perfect blossoms and will hear fruit abundantly 
without being mixed with other varieties. The varieties 
marked "X" have imperfect flowers and should be mixed 
or planted along side other varieties. We are growing Straw- 
berry plants for our customers with the utmost care and 
selection. Thousands of testimonials of the great success 
and large profits have been sent to us from customers who 
have received our Selected Plants in the past. We only 
offer a small list of varieties, but they are the choicest and 
cream of all and have been thoroughly tested in our nurseries. 
Nimrod. 
New and Valuable Strawberries. 
The following collection of new varieties comprise the cream of the list 
offered at very low prices. 
IWYq TVTi 1 1 f»r X. This variety was procured from Mathew Crawford, the 
A "- J - a " lU-illCl . g rea t Strawberry specialist and said to be the best vari- 
ety ever introduced, The following is taken from his description: "The plant 
is large, vigorous, healthy, and productive, able to bring its whole crop to 
maturity. Fruit large to very large, of regular conical form, slightly flatten- 
ed, dark, glossy red, and of excellent quality. Season medium to very late." 
From our own notes we compile the following description, which agrees very 
well with Mr. Crawford's: After the fruiting season of last year the originator 
of the variety, Mr. Crawford, reported as follows: "Mrs. Miller has made 
a good show the past season. It lasted ten days longer than any other 
berry in our nursery. It showed the most productiveness of all. Fruit 
large, oblong; color dark red all through. Sold for extra high prices. A 
great yielder." For the accommodation of experimental stations, and 
other buyers who desire more plants of the Mrs. Miller than their invest- 
ments in other varieties call for, we have set a price upon it, so that all may 
be fully supplied. $1.00 per dozen, $5.00 per 100. 
Virtnr The plant of this variety is of a tough, healthy kind, like 
Vi^lui. Senator Dunlap, able to rough it, and productive under any 
method of culture. The foliage is large, dark green, and handsome. The 
fruit is very large, roundish conical, but occasionally corrugated, dark, 
glossy red, with red flesh, firm, and of excellent flavor. It is a great berry 
for market or home use, and fine for canning. Season medium to late.

PfimrnH R e ^ ore this was named it was exhibited as No. 84, and 
1111111 UU. was called Nimrod because Mr. Beaver, is a noted hunter. 
The Nimrod is the most beautiful berry in our collection. The fruit is 
large, roundish conical, of regular form and smooth, glossy surface, bril- 
liant red, firm, and second to none but the Beaver in flavor. The plant is 
of medium size and healthy, with thick, substantial foliage, which was 
entirely free from rust last season when so many varieties were affected. 
It is a good bearer. Season medium. 75c, per doz.; $3.00 per 100.
