STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
This fruit is easily and quickly grown, and bears such an abundance of fine, 
luscious berries that everyone who has even a small city lot can enjoy the pleasure 
of growing and eating this fruit fresh from the vines. 
Plant in rows 3 % feet apart and 15 Inches in the row, or for small beds, plant 
18 inches apart each way. In planting have the rows even with the pressed sur- 
face of the ground and press the soli firmly about the roots, which should be well 
spread out in planting. Do not allow the rows to spread more than 18 to 24 inches 
wide and cut all runners that reach beyond the limit. 
We have a very large supply of strong, heavily rooted strawberry plants this 
Season, of the very best sorts for the West, and we are prepared to fill all orders 
promptly if sent in good season. We tie them in bunches of 25. with the roots well 
straightened out. and they are packed in pure moss and always with the leaves ex- 
posed enough so they wi.l not smother, but while we pack in the best possible man- 
ner, we advise planters to have all shipments go by express. 
When plants are ordered by express we will give a discount of 10% from these 
prices on thousand lots.

The letter (P) or (S) following the name of the variety denotes whether it is a 
Pistillate (an imperfect flowering variety), or whether it is a Stamlnate (a perfect 
flowering variety). At least one-third of the planting should be of the latter sort 
to insure perfect fertilization. 
Bederwood (S) — Best early, rapid grower, very productive, good quality, one of 
the best sorts to pollenize early pistillate sorts such as Warfield and Crescent. 
Blsmnrk (S) — Very large, much like Bubach, but more productive. 
Brnndynlnc (S) — Fruited here five years, berry large and handsome, good qual- 
ity, productive: fine plant and grower, very thrifty, good pollenizer; few sorts so 
highly recommended. 
Bubncli No. 5 (P) — Very large, good quality; strong healthy plant, moderately 
productive; near-market sort. 
Clyde (S) — Fruited here, everywhere praised; large berries, very productive, a 
strong growing plant; would plant largely of this sort; neither cold, heat nor drouth 
seem to Injure this sort. Bears early and late; a tine pollenizer for other sorts. 
Crescent (P) — A leading sort, "lazy man's berry;” vigorous grower everywhere; 
early. 
Hnvcrlnud (P) — Thrifty, healthy, immensely productive of medium to large ber- 
ries. Has always done well here. Good for near market sort. 
Jessie (S) — A mate for Bubach; very large berry; fine quality, very productive; 
large plant. 
Johnson's Enrly (S) — Very early bearer of 
firm, large berrie's; vigorous, healthy grower, 
no fust; handsome berry and good shipper. 
This new sort did very well here last year. 
Mt. Vernon (S) — Good grower, very produc- 
tive of good sized berries, quality good; has 
always. done we.l here; late sort, but too soft 
for shipping berry. 
Parker Earle (S) — Very productive, large 
fruit, good quality; late; plants make few 
runners; needs good soil and plenty of moist- 
ure to mature fruit; rusts badly. 
Sample (P) — A valuable, large, late variety 
which promises to be an important acquisi- 
tion. Sample has scored such a marked suc- 
cess in many places that no progressive 
grower can afford not to plant some of it. 
Senator Dunlap (S) — This berry did not dis- 
appoint the growers this season, but on the 
contrary proved itse.f to be a better berry 
than it was thought to be by growers who 
had not fruited it before. It resembles War- 
field very much, but it is far superior in 
many respects. It commands the best price 
on t lie market. Dark red in color, highly 
flavored and of the best quality. Bank Warfield, 
grower arid perfect bloomer. This variety 
will lie extensively planted this season. It is no longer a doubtful variety, but 
occupies a place among the best. 
Splendid (S) — Much like Brandywine in plant and fruit, very productive of large 
berries. Plant this sort freely. 
Warfield No. 3 (P) — Early and late, very productive, good shipper, good quality, 
our leading sort, more extensivelv planted than any other sort. We have not found 
any sort that will surpass the Warfield in productiveness or quality of fruit.
