EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberries that yield fruit continually from May until frost have been known for a 
long time. We have tested on our own grounds many varieties which have been dis¬ 
carded and now offer the three varieties we consider best. 
Plant and care for them the same as the common summer sorts. When plants are set 
they wiH commence to bioom and bear fruit at once. You should not allow them to do 
Ihis for it will check the growth of the plants, so for the first six weeks after planting 
keep all bloom stems cut off, then allow them to bear and have fruit until cold weather. 
Mastodon 
ASPARAGUS 
CONOVER’S COLOSSAL. A remarkably 
strong growing and very valuable variety. 
It has such vigor that it gives shoots large 
enough for cutting in one year from plant¬ 
ing, if planted in good soil and well cul¬ 
tivated. The shoots are of a decidedly pur¬ 
ple color and are produced in great num¬ 
bers over a season of 2 to 3 months. Valu¬ 
able for market as well as table. 
MARTHA WASHINGTON. A new rust- 
resistant asparagus. This new pedigreed 
rust-resistant variety was bred up by the 
U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry co-operat¬ 
ing with the Massachusetts Agricultural 
Station covering a period of 14 years. Stalks 
extra large in size, purple color, very ten¬ 
der, crisp, and extra fine flavored. Grows 
fast and thick, making it the most pro¬ 
ductive variety in existence. The heads 
stay very compact, solid and always bring 
a premium over any other variety. 
Prices of Asparagus—10 plants, 20c; 100, 
$1.50; 1000, $10.00. 
Parcel Post—10 plants, 30c; 100, $2.00. 
MASTODON. This is a new variety of 
strawberry which was introduced a few 
years ago and we have the genuine stock. 
Up to this time prices have been rather 
high for this variety, but we now have a 
good stock of the plants and will make 
prices so reasonable you can afford to buy 
them. The plant is very thrifty, grows 
large, has a fine root system and fruit is 
at least twice as large as other varieties 
of everbearing strawberries. The leaves 
are very large which protects the fruit from 
the sun. 
Prices of Mastodon—25 plants, 50c; 50, 
75c; 100, $1.35; 1000, $10.00. 
Parcel Post—25 plants, 60c; 100, $1.45; 
1000 , $ 12 . 00 . 
IMPROVED PROGRESSIVE. This pop¬ 
ular Everbearing variety is so well known 
the we will give only a very short descrip¬ 
tion. In manner of plant growth Progres¬ 
sive closely resembles Senator Dunlap and 
also has the productive ability of that 
grand old variety. The plants are medium 
in size, foliage healthy, very deep rooted 
which enables it to produce its big load of 
berries during severe droughts. 
CHAMPION. By far the best fall bear¬ 
ing strawberry ever introduced. It pro¬ 
longs the season of this most delightful of 
all fruits—strawberries—from the one 
short month of June to cover the entire 
summer and fall season. When you plant 
Champion you are certain of success be¬ 
cause three months after planting every 
mother plant and many runner plants will 
commence bearing and will continue all 
summer and fall. 
Prices of Champion and Progressive—25 
plants, 30c; 100, 75c; 1000, $6.00. 
Parcel Post—25 plants, 35c; 100, $1.00; 
1000, $7.50. 
RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT 
This deserves to be ranked among the 
best early vegetables in the garden. It af¬ 
fords the earliest material for pies and 
tarts, continues long in use, and is valua¬ 
ble for canning. Make the border very rich 
and deep. 
Price—Each, 5c; 10, 40c; 100, $3.00. 
Parcel Post—Each, 7c; 10, 50c; 100, $4.00. 
LINNAEUS. Large, early, tender and 
fine, the very best of all. 
VICTORIA. The best for market be¬ 
cause of its giant growth. 
HORSERADISH 
Price—3c each; 25c per 10; $2.00 per 100. 
By parcel post, 3c each.
