DON’T STARVE FOR FRESH FRUITS—GROW YOUR OWN 
MPLS. JOURNAL, 
Oct. 23, 1933. 
Threats of snow 
and freezing weather 
don’t dismay the 
Braden Brothers. 
When fall comes it is 
their “busy season.’’ 
'i hey are strawberry 
farmers, and in the 
fall they reap their 
biggest profits off 
their beds of ever- 
bearing vines, which 
already have with¬ 
stood four frosts and 
are still bearing. 
Here is a case of 
“Wayzata” Strawber¬ 
ries picked Oct. 22.

"WAYZATA" EVERBEARER STARTLES GROWERS 
A NEW RECORD CHALLENGER FOR CONTINUED 
PRODUCTION, FLAVOR AND SHIPPING QUALITIES 
From a single plant, discovered in 1924, in an experimental plot of 
the Minnetonka district, the Braden Bros, have developed the now 
famous “Wayzata” Strawberry. 
It took years of selection and development from the single plant to 
produce the new “Wayzata” Strawberry, now recognized as the out¬ 
standing introduction which holds such great promise of profit. 
The “Wayzata” is a hardy, disease and frost resistant variety—pro¬ 
duces a late fall crop equal to the best June berries. Growers every¬ 
where have become interested and all available plants up to now nave 
been sold at not less than $100.00 per thousand. 
The berries are glossy red, of good size, firm texture, coreless and 
have a fine, mild flavor. Their attractive appearance makes them sell 
readily on the market and Twin City fruit dealers have been unable 
to supply the demand for this berry. 
Without question the “Wayzata’’ berry will develop a new market 
for fall strawberries and make some wonderful profits for growers. 
It is also an ideal canning berry. (See Braden Brothers profit record.) 
The “Wayzata’’ will make more vigorous growth 
in a shorter period of time than any Everbearing 
variety grown. If set early in spring, there is al¬ 
ways a good crop of runners early in July—they will 
be loaded with fruit by the beginning of August. 
This new berry has a tendency to grow numerous 
crowns from a single root and each crown is always 
loaded with blossom stems. This is the outstanding 
characteristic of the “Wayzata’’ and is what makes 
it a heavy bearer. 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
HOW TO SUCCEED WITH STRAWBERRIES 
There is no trick about growing the best strawberries in any ordinary garden 
soil. Now you can buy strong, well-rooted plants, guaranteed to reach you in 
perfect condition for about half the usual nurserymen’s prices direct from our 
farms. 
Plants should be set about 18 inches apart each way in a small garden, or in 
rows 5 ft. apart and the plants 1 ft. apart for field culture. This would require 
8,700 plants to the acre or a trifle over 50 plants to the rod of land. With good 
care one may expect one pint of fruit to the plant. Some varieties have yielded 
10 to 15,000 quarts per acre. 
Spring planting is best. Spread out the roots in setting out plants, water them 
thoroughly and pack down firmly. Cut runners after blooming time, to strengthen 
the plants and increase size of the berries. Plants will usually bear 3 to 5 years. 
Note—Prices quoted are prepaid to 3rd zone only (300 miles). Shipments 
beyond go at purchaser’s risk and expense. 
GENUINE EVERBEARING MASTODON 
The most popular and largest Everbearing strawberry. From early summer into 
late fall, you can enjoy these large, fine-flavored berries and produce more fruit 
per square foot of ground than with any other strawberry ever introduced. Re¬ 
ports from satisfied customers are astounding—50 to 60 berries per plant are 
reported and gardeners are reaping big profits. 
Three hundred and fifty to 400 16-qt. cases per acre have been reported by 
growers—15 to 20 berries filling a quart box. 
One hundred plants will supply the average family with berries throughout the 
season and allow plenty for canning besides. 
Last season we could not nearly fill our orders and the demand the coming 
spring will be even greater. In order to secure genuine Mastodons, hardy north¬ 
ern grown plants, get your order in early. 
We offer genuine Mastodon strawberry plants at bargain prices, freshly dug 
and guaranteed to reach you in prime condition. Prices: 25 for 60c, 50 for $1.00, 
100 for $1.50, 500 for $6.00, 1,000 for $11.50, prepaid. 
PROGRESSIVE EVERBEARER 
The standard Everbearing variety which will produce berries from 
June until November as far north as Duluth. Berries are of medium 
size—somewhat pointed, dark red in color and of exceptionally fine 
flavor. The flesh is extra firm and sweet, requiring but little sugar in 
preserving. This variety forms strong runners which bear heavily the 
first season and produce enormous crops. -Blossoms on all Everbearing 
varieties should be kept picked until July 15th, from newly set plants. 
Prices: 25 for 55c, 50 for 80c, 100 for $1.30, 500 for $5.75, 1,000 for 
$10.00, prepaid.

What the Minn. Fruit Growers’ Assn. Secretary 
Thinks of the New “Wayzata” Strawberry 
“During the past year I have talked with many 
fruit growers who have grown this Strawberry. The 
concensus of opinion is that the “Wayzata” is much 
superior in quality and appearance to other Ever- 
bearing Strawberries now grown. It appears to be 
the most outstanding of the new fruits of recent 
origin and is likely to be of considerable commercial 
value to growers on account of its excellent ship¬ 
ping qualities.”—J. D. Winter, Secretary, Nov., 1933.

Witt’s Market—Mpls., 
Dec. 23, 1933. 
After two years’ experience 
of selling the “Wayzata” 
Strawberry, we find that this 
berry is far superior to any 
other berry we have ever 
handled. 
It has a wonderful appear¬ 
ance which makes it a good 
seller and its flavor and keep¬ 
ing quality make it a favorite 
with the customers.

Mpls., Dec. 23, 1933 
I have been using these ber¬ 
ries for practically an entire 
season, starting in July and 
continuing until October 23rd, 
and during this time my only 
trouble was in securing enough 
of Braden’s berries, as they 
were so far ahead of others 
in shipping quality and ap¬ 
pearance that they sold them¬ 
selves and one order always 
meant a repeat. 
E. H. Magnuson, Buyer.

ing variety. Does well wherever planted. Ripens medium early and

form and color. Fruit firm and of luscious flavor. Good shipper. Prices:

EARLY PREMIER 
Premier is about the earliest June 
bearing variety. It always gives satis¬ 
faction and ranks first in the opinion of 
leading horticulturists. This berry has 
not only an attractive appearance, due to 
its large size, bright red fruit, but also 
has quality and flavor. It withstands 
drought exceedingly well and is one of 
the best shippers.
