STRAWBERRIES 
We have been growing Strawberry plants for a good many years. 
They are a leading specialty with us. Our plants are strong, healthy and 
well-rooted. We take great care to keep them true to name. See our 
Guarantee on page 12. 
CAMPBELL’S EXTRA EARLY—The foliage is large and pf a beau¬ 
tiful dark green. Produces a large quantity of plants and berries. Fruit 
being medium size, bright red, of good flavor and an excellent shipper. 
This is a strong bisexual variety and has a long blooming season. 
PREMIER OR HOWARD 17—These two varieties are one and the 
same thing. Having been tried on our place for a number of years, we 
cannot find any difference. In our judgement, this is the most perfect 
early variety to date. In fact, it is in a class by itself. Has all the desir¬ 
able qualities necessary to constitute an ideal extra-early variety. Thrives 
on practically all soils. Has dark green foliage coming to a medium 
height and showns no signs of disease. Berries are large, beautiful, deep 
red, with all the quality one would desire. Too much cannot be said of 
this wonderful berry. The leading and best known of the early varieties. 
A great money maker for the market gardener or the man with the 
Roadstand and being firm stands shipment very well. 
DORSETT—The wonderful New Berry just recently introduced by 
the U. S. Dep’t. of Agriculture. Has proven itself as a great early berry, 
surpassing most varieties in quality and production. A great money 
maker. Producing large delicious berries of a medium light color. It 
must be remembered that the lighter colored berries are the best sellers 
in the wholesale markets due to the feeling that they are not over-matured 
and will keep longer. Have just a few of this variety and would advise 
any of our customers desiring same to order early. Prices page 14. 
BIG JOE—This is a splendid variety that is being extensively grown 
and in our judgment it is second to none, all points considered, of the 
midseason varieties. Altho firm and a sure money maker for local or 
nearby markets, it is not firm enough for distant shipping. Comes in 
right after Premier and is a wonderful seller on a Roadside Market. 
LUPTON—This hardy variety has been grown by us for a number of 
years. Altho it is only fair in quality, being mild and rather dry, it is 
fancy, large and attractive in appearance, and always sells well in the 
market. It is very firm and will stand shipment to distant points excep¬ 
tionally well. Often does well on soil where Chesapeake would not thrive. 
CHESAPEAKE—A good size late berry that has been leading all 
other varieties in popularity during the past years. It has a healthy 
foliage, produces a large quantity of berries which are unsurpassed in 
quality and firm enough to stand shipment to distant markets. Comes 
a bright, glossy red. A sure money maker when soil conditions are suit¬ 
able. We recommend this as the best variety for the Market Gardener 
who wants a late berry.
