The Wayzata was discovered by us in an experimental plat 
of everbearers we had growing nine years ago. The name Way¬ 
zata was given to it by the public who asked for the ‘‘Wayzata'' 
strawberries. We have no way of knowing its exact origin. 
Recent comparisons with other varieties have shown that it 
bears a similarity with the Rockhill No. 26. However, it has been 
determined that the Wayzata produces more runners, and is 
more resistant to winter kill and drouth than any plant stock 
with which it has been compared. 
THE WAYZATA IS THE STRAWBERRY TO PLANT FOR 
PROFITS 
The Wayzata bears from June until the ground is frozen, 
with only a short rest period in July. Plants set in the spring 
will bear a full crop during the summer of the same year, and 
~ will bear again the following spring. It is a real market berry, 
in every way, superior to any other everbearer and equal to the 
best of the June bearing kinds. The finest strawberry for the 
table, or for canning. Keeps its fine anpearance and quality when 
shipped to distant markets. The Wayzata is not an untried 
novelty. We have grown it for nine years and each year the 
berries have topped the market in Minneapolis, St. Paul and 
other markets where we have shipped it. It has been tried by 
various fruit growers and experimental stations throughout the 
U. S. and Canada with equal success everywhere. The Wayzata is 
becoming the most popular strawberry through its merits alone, 
as it has had very little advertising. Dealers and consumers 
who have bought our Wayzata berries have been our best adver¬ 
tisers. 
A bed of well kept Wayzata strawberries is a.beautiful sight 
and a source of profit throughout the entire growing season. 
The plants grow large and sturdy with a deep green color. Blos¬ 
som stems attain a length of twelve inches or more, when well 
fertilized and watered. We have counted as high as 28 blossom 
stems on a single plant, each stem having from four to twelve 
berries. The berries are large, firm, brilliant red in color and 
have an aroma and flavor that has made it the favorite straw¬ 
berry with consumers wherever it has been introduced. Our 
berries have sold on the Minneapolis and St. Paul markets for 
from one-third to one-half more than any other variety and the 
demand has steadily increased, as it has become more widely 
known. Only during the last three seasons have we had suffi¬ 
cient plant stock to set an acreage of any extent. These seasons 
have been the driest and most adverse to berry culture in the
