For Fresh Berries with 
Cream—and Shortcake, 
Spring, Summer and Fall 
Strawberries are the one fruit that everybody 
likes and that everybody can grow. They will do 
well in the back yard, they can be cultivated grown 
in rows, and our plants are strong, heavy, well- 
rooted, and vigorous. They will be carefully han¬ 
dled and shipped to you freshly dug this Spring. 
When and Where to Plant 
Strawberries can be planted on low land along 
the creek bottom. Give them the same kind of soil 
that will grow a big crop of potatoes, corn or 
onions. The best time to plant strawberries is just 
as early in the Spring as you can get them into the 
ground. 
I will ship strawberries in the Farm Belt until 
April 25th. I can ship to Southern States early in 
February and March. Strawberries should be planted 
with rows 2 feet apart and the plants 1 foot apart 
in the row. The June bearing varietes such as Sen¬ 
ator Dunlap, and the Everbearing such as Mastodon 
do not mix, and can be planted side by side. The 
varieties that we list here are all perfect flowered 
and do not need any other kind planted with them 
for cross pollenizing. 
Shipped Separately 
Strawberries should not be shipped with other 
nursery stock. They will come by themselves, in 
open-end packages. This insures them reaching 
you in first class condition. 
^ Giant Everbearing Mastodons 
The last three years Mastodon has set a record 
for producing berries. When other varieties were 
producing but few crops, due to the drouth, Masto¬ 
don has come right along producing a big crop of 
spring berries every year and another crop in the 
fall, clear up until snow flies. 
The Mastodon that I offer you are big and husky 
and produce large quantities of big, dark red, solid 
and highly flavored berries. 
Every Plant Bears 
The long roots grow down deep for moisture. 
Every plant is a bearer and there are no drones in 
the Mastodons. They resist drought, they are 
frost-proof, and some have said they are even fool¬ 
proof. The foliage of the Mastodon is tough and 
grows tall and rank, covering the blossoms and 
berries and protecting them from .frost and the 
scalding sun. 
Mastodon works day and night, never tiring 
and always producing berries and fruit. This is 
the greatest of all everbearing strawberries. I 
grow it in my own garden. It is not necessary to 
clip the blooms or runners on Mastodons. Let them 
do as they please and they will be better off. 
★ BEAUTY STBAWBEBBIES 
Ripen after Dunlap 
I think this is the big-gest and best late strawberry 
that is grown. The berries are as large as walnuts and 
. , have a rich, orange reddish color that very few berries 
have. It ripens uniformly and commands the highest price on any market. 
Beauty can be eaten without sugar as it is very sweet. It has a distinc¬ 
tive berry-like flavor all its own. 
It is a strawberry that keeps well and holds up nicely. It is very firm, 
yet juicy, and has a texture that doesn’t mash down if kept over a day or 
two. It has one of the best keeping and shipping records of any berry that 
we know of. The plants grow 12 to 15 inches high. The leaves are large 
and make long runners. The fruiting stalks are 8 to 10 inches long and it 
is such a vigorous grower that the berries are kept off the ground, are very 
clean and free from dirt of any kind. 
Beauty is what we call a perfect berry. It will fertilize itself. Follows 
Dunlap in ripening. 
SENATOR DUNLAP 
The Main Crop Berry. Plants medium size, perfectly healthy and very 
prolific. Like Mastondon the roots are long, and this variety comes as near 
being drought-proof as any we have. Makes plants freely. Fruit large, 
smooth and very attractive. Very firm and of a beautiful deep red color. 
Of excellent quality. Plant Dunlap for the Main Crop variety and Mastodon 
for your Everbearer. 
PREMIEB-Extra Early 
An extra early strawberry of great quality for the Farm Belt. Premier 
comes on earlier than other varieties. It is an extra early kind never failing 
to produce a crop of big berries. 
Premier is one of the highest yielding berries that has ever been grown. 
It has yielded as much as 14,000 quarts per acre and often yields two quarts 
per plant. The berries are large, somewhat square shaped, and have a dark 
red color to them. 
Premier is the best shipping and best keeping extra early strawberry 
ever grown. 
Premier is such a good early variety of strawberry that the stock of 
plants is usually very short. Plant Premier for early berries, Dunlap for 
main crop and Beauty for the late market—three great strawberries for the 
Farm Belt. 
BX.AKEMORE 
This variety is a new introduction originated by Prof. Beatty of the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. The berries are large, 
solid, finely flavored, good keepers and wonderful plant makers. Of high 
quality, and another fine feature about it is that it stems so easily. Stands 
dry weather, and plants grow large, holding up the berries of£ the ground 
and enabling them to grow large. 
AROMA 
This is one of the large, late, dark red strawberries. It is a good pollen- 
izer for other varieties. Perfect flower. If you want a late June bearing 
variety, Aroma is the one to plant.

Giant 
Mastodon 
Bears in 90 Days from Planting 
Mastodons bear 90 days after being planted. The 
strain that I offer is the highest yielding of all 
and I guarantee that you will be more than satis¬ 
fied with the wonderful quality berries that are 
produced in the spring and in the fall. Ask for 
genuine Mastodon everbearing strawberries, the 
same as are pictured in color on page 2.
