Our Money-Making Varieties 
PREMIER 
The money making king of all 
early strawberries. If there ban 
ever been a strawberry without n 
fault it is the Premier. Netted 
the growers more than three times 
ns much money the past season as 
the ordinary varieties. Our own 
profit from Premier was $3,000.00 
per acre. 
FORD 
Is a second Premier, about (he 
only difference iu fruit it is about 
ten days later, quality and pro¬ 
ductiveness nearly the same. These 
two varieties will last throughout 
the entire season and top the mar¬ 
ket every day. The best pair in 
the world. 
DR. ItUKRILL 
(Medium Early). Is the next most 
profitable variety grown. Is prac¬ 
tically the same berry as Senator 
Dunlap. The Uurrill and Dunlap 
are in great demand at. this time, 
owing to their superior quality for 
canning and juice making. 
DIG JOE (Joe Johnson) 
Season medium to late. Known 
the country over as the big fancy 
berry. There is no better berry 
known to the trade than Rig Joe. 
One of the most productive late 
varieties. 
WORLD’S WONDER 
For six years World’s Wonder has 
went unchallenged ns the largest 
strawberry ever grown. (We offer 
$10 for a plant that will produce 
ns large a berry ns this variety). 
Productive and quality fine, espe¬ 
cially for home market. 
DIG LATE (Townsend’s) 
Plant Rig Late with Rig Joe or 
Ford, as it is IMP—and you have 
a royal pair late varieties, quality 
and appearance not surpassed. 
MISSIONARY (Townsend’s) 
One of the best known early varie¬ 
ties of strawberries. especially 
adapted for hill culture. Itecom 
mended from Florida to Maine as 
a commercial berry. 
KLONDIKE 
The Standard Southern medium 
early strawberry. Does well on 
high sandy soil, where most varie¬ 
ties fail. For home use or market, 
where a medium size berry is 
wanted. 
NIC OHMER 
Medium to late. One of the high 
esf quality berries. Recommended 
anywhere for home use or market. 
GIRSON 
A favorite in many sections of the 
North oii account of its size and 
productiveness. Not a high quality 
berry. 
GANDY 
A very late standard variety; 
quality good. (Plant on heavy 
soil of a springy nature). 
HOWARD 17 
If we are not mistaken this is the 
Premier. Has shown to be such 
on our grounds. 
CHESAPEAKE 
A favorite with many of the berry 
growers oii account of its large size 
and good quality. 
PRES. HARDING 
A new Introduction. Has been 
tested for seven years on different 
soils and has shown wonderful rec¬ 
ords as a large size, fine quality 
berry. Recommended for trial. 
Season late to very late. 
PROGRESS!VE (Everbearing) 
This is the universal everbeariug 
strawberry. More of them grown 
than ail the other varieties coin 
bined. Too well known to need 
description. Just plant out Pro¬ 
gressive in April and pick berries 
until the snow flies, is our advice 
on Progressives.

West Newton, Pa 
Dear Sirs;—I am sending you n 
check for $22.00 for strawberry 
plants. The ones I received from 
you last year grew fine. I set them 
out the same day as I did the ones 
I got from a firm in Michigan; only 
a few of theirs grew. So I had 
them plowed down last Fall. 
Yours for success,
