Gardner’s RED GOLD 
THE WONDERFUL NEW VARIETY 
The bei-ries are simply enormous in size. Color is shining red 
and they are full of delicious sweetness with that wild Strawberry 
flavor. Does not contain the acid found in the common kinds. 
Meaty, tender flesh, not pithy. Requires less sugar to make pre¬ 
serves. Stems are very strong and stout, holding the berries out 
of the dirt. Stems are loaded with these mammoth berries. Red 
Gold plants make runners very freely. Root system goes down 
12 to 15 inches. Fruiting season 30 days. Yields are very heavy. 
We have a fine supply of healthy STATE INSPECTED plants 
in spite of the drought. Our method of moisture holding cultiva¬ 
tion accounts for this. We had just enough rain to produce fine 
plants with long, fibrous roots. Prices page 23. 
BELLMAR 
BRANDYWINE 
The Brandywine is a valuable late Strawberry especially 
adapted to home use and canning, owing to its very dark red 
color and fine flavor. Brandywine is late, good shape, good 
quality, good size, firm, productive. Many commercial growers 
prefer this variety as a late berry. Always profitable—doing 
exceptionally well in central and southwestern sections.

This variety, like Blakemore. is a scientific cross between the Pre¬ 
mier and Missionary, made in 1922, by the United States Department 
of Agriculture. This variety has not been tried out in all parts of 
the United States yet, but in the places that it has been tried, it has 
proven to be a wonderful berry. Bellmar is a good plant maker. Is 
a heavy producer, but not as heavy as Premier. Berries rank high 
in dessert quality, less acid than Blakemore. It is not as good a 
canning variety as Blakemore. Bellmar is very firm, and is a good 
shipping variety. Berries are a beautiful bright red when not left 
on the vines too long. They will turn dark red, but will not easily 
decay. Like Blakemore, the hull parts very easily from the berry, 
making it easy to prepare for table. Bellmar berries are fully as 
large as Blakemore, and hold their size well through the picking sea¬ 
son. Order 50 to 100 plants at the prices we have, which is not high 
for a new variety. Remember the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture originated and introduced both Bellmar and Blakemore.

CHESAPEAKE 
The best and most perfect late June-bearing variety of Straw¬ 
berry grown. Like Premier it is a profitable berry. Because it 
is late and when the Chesapeake comes into bearing all other 
Strawberries are either gone or are so small that buyers will not 
look at them. Then is when Chesapeake comes along and brings 
the fancy prices. The Chesapeake is the last Strawberry to blos¬ 
som, and by that time all danger of frost has passed, and you are 
almost certain of a full crop of Strawberries every year. Berries 
are as dark red as the Senator Dunlap. All berries are well above 
the average in size. Wonderful, mild, sweet flavor. Chesapeake 
is a wonderful keeper. Berries are firm, and will keep better 
than any other variety at this hot time of the year. Plant some 
Chesapeake this Spring, and be convinced. Our prices are reason¬ 
able for this variety. They should be set about 3 feet by 18 inches. 
Plants are large.
