MISSIONARY 
For Florida, Texas, and the Gulf Coast— 
An Unbeatable Shipping Berry 
T HE MISSIONARY, even after a quarter century of extensive planting, 
is still by far the most popular strawberry in Florida and Texas, and 
so outstanding is its yield and plant vigor that the newer introductions 
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture have not enhanced this popu¬ 
larity. We ship millions of Missionary plants to Florida and Texas annually. 
This old variety is an excellent plant maker, doing well on soil too sandy 
for other varieties. It is free from rust, a vigorous grower, and produces 
an average yield of high quality berries. We have never known the Mis¬ 
sionary to winter kill. However, we do not recommend its being planted 
north of Missouri as there are now several other varieties more nearly 
adapted to the colder climate. 
The Missionary is mid-season in ripening. Its fruit is medium size, colored 
and shaped something like the Aroma. It is one of the firmest berries grown 
and will ship to distant markets without injury. 
Our plants are from the original stock of Missionary—healthy, heavy 
producers, true-to-name. We take great pride in the quality of our Mis¬ 
sionary and Klondike plants, for \ee believe that we grow and sell more 
plants of these varieties than any other plant dealer in the United States. 
IMPROVED 
KLONDIKE 
HEAVY YIELD OF 
FANCY BERRIES 
Hardy Plants and 
A Sure Cropper 
The Best Berry for the 
MID-SOUTH 
S EVERAL other varieties of straw¬ 
berries may excel the time-proved 
Improved Klondike in one particu¬ 
lar feature, but for a good, all-round 
strawberry which combines a multitude of ad¬ 
mirable features, this variety knows no superiors. 
It is by long odds the most extensively planted 
strawberry in the mid-South and, after thirty 
years of testing, there must be good reasons why 
berry growers stick to this old favoi’ite. 
The Improved Klondike is a free plant maker 
and almost a sure cropper. The new improved 
variety is not easily susceptible to the diseases 
common to strawberries. It is adapted to a wide 
range of soils and conditions, and seldom is it 
ever winter injured by late freezing. 
The Klondike fruit is a bright, glossy red in 
color. It holds this bright color until long after 
it is marketed. It yields a heavy crop of fancy 
fruit which usually brings a 20 per cent premium 
on the market. In dessert quality, shipping quality, 
and strong plants we know of no variety which 
surpasses the Improved Klondike. 
If you want vigorous, true-to-name Improved 
Klondike plants—let WALLER BROS, be your 
headquarters. We are prepared to fill your order, 
be it large or small, and we guarantee that you 
cannot buy better Klondike plants than those you 
will get from us.
