STRAWBERRIES ( Frag aria ) 
They may be successfully grown on any soil adapted for garden pur- 
poses, or where good crops of grain or 
should be well prepared, thoroughly 
free from weeds. 
Admiral Dewey. Larger than the Wilson; 
firm; good shipper and unexcelled for can- 
ning. Color beautiful dark red, and, un- 
like other berries, the flesh is red to the 
center, no white core; shape conical, much 
like Clarke’s Seedling. Very early and 
abundant bearer, continuing through the 
season. Flavor resembles tha* of the wild 
strawberry. 
Clarke’s Seedling. (Hood River.) This 
new berry originated at Hood River, Ore- 
gon, where it is planted to the exclusion 
of all others for long distance shipments. 
Larger than Wilson, very firm; beautiful 
dark red, and in quality unsurpassed. 
Gold Dollar. One of the earliest berries 
on the market. Fruit good, medium size, 
and dark red all through; rather tart; fine 
flavor; foliage heavy, large and spreading, 
which protects the bloom from the early 
frosts. Has a perfect bloom, and strong 
potatoes can be raised. The ground 
enriched and be kept mellow and 
stems that hold the berries up from the 
ground, which helps to keep color and 
flavor during the early rainy season. A 
heavy cropper for so early a berry. 
Hood River. See Clarke’s Seedling. 
Jessie. On rich soil and with good cul- 
ture, this is a valuable sort. Fairly pro- 
ductive; berries average large, of great 
beauty and high quality. 
Magoon. Has proved to be a leader in 
hardiness, in addition to all of its other 
good qualities. The Magoon alone has 
come through the trying hard winters 
without injury. It always brings top 
price in the Portland market, and is a 
remarkable yielder. 
New Oregon. (Improved.) One of the 
finest and most satisfactory strawberries 
ever introduced. It always looks bright, 
fresh and attractive. The berry is large.
