STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Delicious, fresh strawberries are easy to 
have if you get good plants. Set out 
strong, freshly dug plants of the best 
varieties and the rest is simple. Merely 
keep the weeds out and you will have fine 
strawberries. 
Our plants are fresh dug and are 
guaranteed to reach the purchaser in 
good condition. If any should be 
damaged on the way we will replace them 
without charge if notified within two days 
after the receipt of the plants. 
Strawberry plants should be set out in the 
spring as early as the ground can be gotten in 
good condition. The rows should be 3*/£ ft. 
apart and the plants 12 to 18 in. apart in the 
rows. Complete directions for raising straw¬ 
berries will be found in our pamphlet on the 
“Culture of Vegetables and Flowers” which 
will be sent free with any order if requested. 
Orders for plants will be entered at any time and the plants will be 
sent at the proper time for setting them out. We cannot agree to send 
plants to the Pacific Coast or to the Gulf Coast States as strawberry plants 
cannot be successfully transported so far and we cannot furnish them at 
the time they should be set out in these localities. Write for prices on 
large lots. We cannot send plants to Canada. 
DELICIOUS. Sweet and Luscious. This variety is well named as it is 
certainly a most delicious berry. We consider this one of the best straw¬ 
berries for the home garden. It commences to ripen quite early and 
continues to bear for a long time. We know of no variety of finer quality. 
The berries are smooth and regular in shape, mostly pointed and aver¬ 
age quite large. They are of good deep red all through and fairly firm, 
but not as much so as some other varieties. The plants are vigorous 
and healthy and produce well. Medium early. Perfect flowers.

Not paid: 1000 plants $0.00. 500 at the 1000 rate. 
PREMIER. The Largest and Best Early Variety. We regard this as 
the largest and best early variety. The berries are exceptionally large, 
deep bright red all over and are of fine quality. They ripen very early 
and the plants are strong, healthy and very productive. On account of 
the large size and handsome appearance the Premier berries are always 
in demand making this variety one of the most profitable to raise for 
market and roadside sales. Perfect flowers. 
Doz. 35c; 50 plants 90c; 100 plants $1.40 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 1000 plants $7.00. 500 or more are furnished at the 1000 rate'. 
SHERMAN. Large and Heavy Yielding. One of the most prolific 
varieties we have ever raised. The plants are vigorous and produce 
wonderful crops of large, smooth, almost round, deep red berries of high 
quality. This variety is remarkable on account of its great productive¬ 
ness and long season habits. The berries commence to ripen medium 
early but the plants continue to bear long after other kinds have stopped. 
The flowers are imperfect so do not fertilize themselves. Sherman 
should be raised in connection with other varieties. Two rows of 
Sherman and one row of some other kind will produce excellent results.

Two New Strawberries of Quality 
These two new berries originated at the New York State Agricultural 
Experiment Station at Geneva. They are the results of crosses between 
Premier and Marshal, and are recommended by the New York State Fruit 
Testing Cooperative Association in their 1932-33 “Catalog of New Fruits.” 
CLERMONT. Vigorous, Hardy and Productive. This is a very early 
variety, ripening with Premier and in many other respects being even 
superior to that well known variety. The berries are very large, hand¬ 
some and regular in shape and of good quality. They are firm and do 
not bruise easily. The plants are more vigorous than most of the old 
varieties, hardy and very productive. This berry is recommended as a 
commercial variety for local and roadside markets and also as a fine 
home berry. Perfect flowers.

CULVER. For Home Canning. This is a very high quality berry. 
The deep red color carried through to the center and sprightly flavor 
make it a most excellent kind for canning. The berries are very large, 
regular and cone shaped. They do not stand handling quite as well as 
Clermont but the quality is better, and we recommend them for the 
home garden and local market where quality counts. The plants are vig¬ 
orous, productive and healthy. Matures in midseason. Perfect flowers.

Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
You get a crop the first year! 
These varieties start to produce fruit almost as soon as the plants are 
set out. Plants set out in the Spring commence to bear ripe fruit in 
August and continue to bear until freezing weather. The following year 
they produce a crop in June, the same as the common kinds, and also 
another crop in August and September. 
Note— It is essential to set out the plants 
early in the spring, so do not delay ordering 
them as they must be set early. 
When the plants are first set out the 
flowers should be carefully picked off and 
none allowed to produce fruit until the plants 
have become well established which will be 
six to eight weeks. 
MASTODON. The Largest and Best 
Everbearing. The fruit is rounded 
conical in shape, smooth and glossy, 
bright red and very sweet, being 
more free from acidity than any 
strawberry we know of. The plants 
we offer are exceptionally strong and 
vigorous and will produce large 
yields of big berries. 
Doz. 45c; 50 plants $1.15; 100 plants $2.00 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 1000 $14.00. 500 at the 1000 rate. 
- Thank You, Mr. Dutton! -— 
“Just a few words of appreciation and commendation for the fine stocky plants you 
sent me the latter part of May. Never saw such full rooted healthy looking strawberry 
plants, Delicious, Sherman and Mastodon. Set them out the first of June. Kept the 
blossoms off of the Mastodon until July first and have had almost daily pickings since 
the first of August. The largest berries I ever saw. They are the wonder of my neighbors. 
Some measure 4J^ inches in circumference. Had tried ‘ everbearing ’ kinds twice before 
with very poor results but am more than satisfied with Mastodon.” Frank C. Dutton, 
Weslerlo, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1932. 
“Was quite surprised to see my name in print. Glad you thought it worth while to 
give it a place. Hope it may bring some good orders for Mastodon. 
“If I had waited until the f ollowing week could have reported picking a finer berry from 
the same plant measuring fully five inches in circumference with plenty of green berries 
and blossoms still on. 
“Our final picking Nov. 6th.” Frank C. Dutton, Feb. 8, 1933.
