Strawberry Varieties 
PREMIER 
No strawberry has ever been so deservedly popular. It 
is perfect flowering, a good plant maker, and frost resist¬ 
ant. Its best points, however, are its ability to set an extra 
large crop of berries and mature every one. No small 
berries are found even at the last picking. The fruit is 
large, bright in color and high in quality. The leading 
berry for home market, supplanting all other kinds. No 
berry ever listed has earned such a deserved place in the 
variety list. We recommend it as the BEST early and 
mid-season variety. In small plantings use Premier only. 
BLAKEMORE 
This follows Premier in ripening period. A new variety 
that is taking the place of the old standby Senator Dunlap. 
Berry very firm, good table quality and has no superior 
for canning or preserving. Good plant maker, especially 
adapted to poorer or lighter soil. While it is new we con¬ 
sider it one of the real discoveries and right now is recog¬ 
nized as a superior home and local market berry. Four 
years’ tests now place it up with the very best all-round 
strawberry. 
SENATOR DUNLAP 
Its one fault lies in its habit of making too many plants. 
Dark rich red fruits ripening in mid-season, of excellent 
quality. Heavy annual producer. Must be kept thinned 
out in the row, otherwise too many plants and small size 
fruits will result. 
GANDY 
Still the best late berry. Robust plants that fruit on 
strong stems, blossoming exceedingly late and thus miss¬ 
ing frosts that often kill the early bloomers. Considered 
the best preserving berry by many and is also very fine 
as a table variety. Plant with confidence. 
AROMA 
This variety, while it has not lost any of its eating, cul¬ 
inary, and shipping qualities, is deficient because of its 
failure to make sufficient plants. The berry is medium to 
large, light in color with bright seeds. Good quality, but 
only recommended where Aroma is known to do well.
