Strawberries 
EARLY VARIETIES 
DR. BURRILL (Per.). The million dollar strawberry. 
This strawberry withstands adverse conditions and is 
one of the best berries grown. Very similar to Senator 
Dunlap in quality and flavor, but are larger and in 
great abundance. Ripens a few days earlier than the 
Dunlap. Plants are medium size and deep rooted. A 
very good plant maker. It is an old-time favorite. It 
will make the dollars for you. 
RED GOLD (Per). The Red Gold was originated a few 
years ago by a Mr. Gardner, in Iowa. The variety with 
a wild strawberry flavor. Very sweet. This variety 
took the country by storm four years ago. This berry 
is firm and keeps well. The fruit stems grow tall, some- 
t'mes above the rest of the plant. It will make a good 
fruiting row even in dry weather. We think it better 
to keep the row down to about 14 inches in width. 
PREMIER (Per). Premier is perhaps the greatest extra 
early strawberry in the midwest. It ripens ahead of 
other varieties and is highly productive. Rapidly be¬ 
coming the leader among commercial growers. The ber¬ 
ries are large to the end of the season, red to the 
core, firm and a rich strawberry flavor, making it a 
ready seller, and a profit maker. The foliage is tough 
and heavy, covering the blossoms, making it frostproof 
and protects the fruit from the scalding sun. Premier 
is unusually healthy, being free from leaf spot and 
other diseases. Its deep heavy roots enable it to with¬ 
stand dry weather and produce a good crop of fruit 
early in the season, when the price is high. The Pre¬ 
mier is in strong demand. 
BEAVER. (Per). The Beaver was originated in Wisconsin 
a few years ago by a cross between the Dr. Burrill and 
Premier. Apparently it has retained all the fruiting 
features of the Premier and in addition like Dr. Burrill 
has that wonderful ability to produce a large number 
of plants, so for this reason makes a very good fruit¬ 
ing row. It is a perfect flowering variety. The foliage 
is very similar to that of the Premier. It is a drought 
resister. The fruit is extra large with a rich flavor and 
deep red all through the berry. It is highly productive 
and is used exclusively for canning factory purposes 
in central Wisconsin. It is an excellent shipper or can 
be hauled long distances by truck. Does not need to 
be picked as often as other varieties. The boxes and 
crates fill up fast with the Beaver. In a short time the 
Beaver will be one of the leading varieties. Try some 
of the Beaver. 
BLAKEMORE (Per). An early variety originated by the 
United States Department of Agriculture. It has been 
thoroughly tested. Cross between Premier and Mission- 
ery. Good plant maker. Fruit dark red, good flavor, 
good producer, good shipper. Try it. One of the best 
new varieties. 
EARLY BIRD (Per). The Early Bird is a strong, vigo¬ 
rous grower, and makes plenty of runner plants. It
