VALUABLE NEW VARIETIES 
We have an excellent supply 
of Blakemore this spring. The 
price is right, and we advise 
planting heavily of it for it is one 
of the biggest money makers 
grown. Prices on page 23. 
Blakemore (Per.) 
Few varieties of strawberries have been offered 
to the public with such strong endorsement from 
agricultural stations and private growers as 
Blakemore. It is of scientific origih, being 
a cross of Missionary and Premier and in 
the various tests made has been given first 
place by U. S. Plant Stations and also by 
the National Preservers Association. In 
shape and color it much resem¬ 
bles its parent, Premier, but it is 
somewhat earlier than that va¬ 
riety. It makes new plants much 
more freely and it is a heavy 
producer of fancy highly colored 
fruit, like Premier. Its beautiful 
bright red color, tough skin, firm 
flesh and excellent flavor make 
it very desirable for preserving 
and it will stand longer after 
picking and reach market in bet¬ 
ter condition than any other sort. 
Blakemore Strawberries. 
Red Gold 
(Per.) 
A new early variety of proven worth. In¬ 
troduced by the Gardner Nursery Co. a few 
years ago, it has been widely grown and has 
come into public favor rapidly. It is one of 
the largest berries grown, is a bright shiny 
red in color and surprisingly sweet and deli¬ 
cious. Red Gold makes new plants rapidly, 
the plants having enormous root systems, 
enabling them to withstand severe droughts. 
The fruit stems are exceptionally large and 
carry an average of twice as many berries 
as ordinary varieties. Red Gold should be 
included in every order and to make this 
possible we have made the price very reason¬ 
able this season. Prices on page 23. 
Harvest King 
(Per.) 
This new variety has made a big name for 
itself in the past few years. It is classed as 
midseason but is also a late berry; while it 
commences to ripen with Gibson and Dunlap, 
it gives its heaviest pickings during the time 
of the late sorts and continues in bearing 
after they are all gone. The berries are much 
the shape of Premier but darker in color. 
They are very large in size, uniform in shape 
and of excellent quality. Our Harvest King 
made a splendid growth last summer and 
we have some excellent plants to offer you. 
Order heavily of them. Prices on page 23. 
Washington (Per.) 
This variety, named after the State of its origination, is an outstanding late Berry that should 
be widely grown. It is large to very large in size, of a dark glossy color and red all the way 
through. But its outstanding quality is its delicious sweet, rich flavor—different than any other 
variety. Washington is healthy, a strong plant maker, produces an abundance of highest quality 
fruit and is a variety that should be included in every order. We haven’t a large supply of 
Washington this year but the quality of our plants is excellent. Prices on page 23.
