Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants 
Ready for delivery from July 15 to September 15. Plant out this summer 
Stumpp & Walter Co.’s Pot-Grown Strawberry Plant 
Strawberries May Be Grown 
in Any Garden 
Plant them at intervals of 12 inches, in rows 2 feet apart, in 
well-drained land, into which 5 lbs. of Sawco General Garden 
Fertilizer to each 100 square feet (10 feet by 10 feet) have been 
raked. 
Cut off all runners as they appear, and keep the soil hoed and 
free of weeds. Work in a light dressing of Sawco General Garden 
Fertilizer { 2)4 lbs. per 100 square feet) three times a year. 
Plant Both Everbearing and Summer- 
Bearing Sorts 
Ordinary Strawberries normally produce large crops in late 
spring and early summer. The new Everbearing types bear 
Strawberries at intervals all through the season, but by removing 
flowers from these Everbearing types during summer until 
August I, the plants store up the energy to produce a mammoth 
crop in the autumn. We recommend that both Everbearing and 
ordinary types be planted, the latter including early, midseason, 
and late sorts, thereby insuring fruit from June to frost. Here is 
the experience of one of our customers with Everbearing Straw¬ 
berries: 
From 500 Fall-bearing Strawberry runners there were 
picked, on the 23d of August, four quarts of berries, and 
they continued to yield until November ii, when the last 
three quarts were gathered. During the week of September 
12 to 17 nearly one hundred quarts were gathered. 
Pot-Grown Plants versus Rooted Runners 
It is the nature of the Strawberry plant to produce runners 
which in turn produce young plants. If these young plants are 
separated from their parents by cutting the runner, we know them 
as “rooted runners”; if, instead, they are planted in pots of good 
soil and given careful attention in a nursery, they produce a more 
compact root-system, and they may be transported, knocked out 
of the pots, and planted without interrupting the growth of the 
plant. In consequence, they develop into larger plants and pro¬ 
duce more and finer fruit the first season. We recommend pot- 
grown plants. Ours are strong plants, ready to take hold as soon 
as put out in your garden, and are produced under expert super¬ 
vision. 
The Best Two Everbearing 
Strawberries 
Price, either of the following two fine varieties, $2 per doz., 
$10 per 100, $22 for 250, $80 per 1,000 
CHAMPION. This variety has been hailed as the real champion 
of all the Everbearing varieties, and rightly so. It is very 
similar to the Progressive Strawberry, but is considered by 
many growers to be superior. The berries are of moderate size, 
are produced freely, and are of exceptionally fine quality. 
MASTODON. The fruits are firm and solid, and on account of 
their large size we recommend that Mastodon be given a place 
in every garden, especially where Everbearing Strawberries 
are grown for profit. 
The Best Seven Summer-bearing 
Strawberries 
Price, any of the following varieties, $1.50 per doz., $8 per 100, 
$19 for 250, $70 per 1,000 
The Finest Extra-Early Variety 
PREMIER. The plants are immensely productive, ripening 
early and bearing through a long season. The berries are 
uniform in shape and size, and are glossy, rich red all through. 
Their flavor is delicious, and they are firm enough to stand 
shipment to distant markets in good condition. 
Medium-Early Varieties 
SENATOR DUNLAP (DR. BURRILL). A free -growing sort, 
and most productive. The berries are medium in size, bright 
rich red to the center, and of good quality. 
COOPER. The plants are strong growing, large, and with long, 
fibrous roots. The berries are large, handsome, and of excellent 
flavor. We recommend Cooper for the home-garden, but we 
do not advise its use as a shipping sort. 
Midseason and Late Varieties 
JOE (JOE JOHNSON; BIG JOE). A very productive variety 
with extremely large, beautiful berries, and one of the best 
sorts for flavor. In size, firmness, yield, color, and quality it 
surpasses most other varieties. 
CHESAPEAKE. Plants are very strong and robust, with very 
long roots, making this variety one of the most resistant to 
drought. The berries are uniformly large, with prominent 
yellow seeds, attractive in appearance and unexcelled in 
quality. This is a unisexual sort, and if planted alone will 
not produce fruit. If a variety like Big Joe is growm in the 
same garden, it will fruit well. 
BIG LATE. In vigor of growth it ranks high, making strong, 
healthy foliage which is bright green in color. In productive¬ 
ness it ranks at the top, and in quality only the best varieties 
are equal to it. Resistant to drought, yet in a w'et season it 
resists rust better than most varieties. Good for the home- 
garden, and a good shipping sort. The blossoms are imperfect 
and should be fruited with some bisexual variety like Big Joe. 
WM. BELT. The berries average large and are somewhat 
irregular in shape, but attractive. Does best in the middle 
and northern states, whether used in the garden, for local 
market, or near-by shipping.
