LEADING GARDENERS DEPEND ON 
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS 
MPLS. JOURNAL, 
Oct. 23, 1933. 
Threats of snow 
and freezing weather 
don’t dismay the 
Braden Brothers. 
When fall comes it is 
their “busy season.’’ 
They are strawberry 
farmers, and in the 
fall they reap their 
biggest profits off 
their beds of ever- 
bearing vines, which 
already have with¬ 
stood four frosts and 
are still bearing. 
Here is a case of 
“Wayzata’’ Strawber¬ 
ries picked Oct. 22.

"WAYZATA" EVERBEARER STARTLES GROWERS 
A NEW RECORD CHALLENGER FOR CONTINUED 
PRODUCTION, FLAVOR AND SHIPPING QUALITIES 
From a single plant, discovered in 1924, in an experimental plot of 
the Minnetonka district, the Braden Bros, have developed the now 
famous “Wayzata’’ Strawberry. 
It took years of selection and development from the single plant to 
produce the new “Wayzata’’ Strawberry, now recognized as the out¬ 
standing introduction which holds such great promise of profit. 
The “Wayzata’’ is a hardy, disease and frost resistant variety—pro¬ 
duces a late fall crop equal to the best June berries. Growers every¬ 
where have become interested and all available plants up to 1933 have 
been sold at not less than $100.00 per thousand. 
The berries are glossy red, of good size, firm texture, coreless and 
have a fine, mild flavor. Their attractive appearance makes them sell 
readily on the market and Twin City fruit dealers have been unable 
to supply the demand for this berry. 
Without question the “Wayzata’’ berry will develop a new market 
for fall strawberries and make some wonderful profits for growers. 
It is also an ideal canning berry. (See Braden Brothers’ profit record.) 
The “Wayzata’’ will make more vigorous growth 
in a shorter period of time than any Everbearing

thoroughly and pack down firmly. Cut runners after blooming time to strengthen 
the plants and increase size of the berries. Plants will usually bear 3 to 5 years

PROGRESSIVE EVERBEARER 
The standard Everbearing variety which will produce berries from 
June until November as far north as Duluth. Berries are of medium 
size—somewhat pointed, dark red in color and of exceptionally fine 
flavor. The flesh is extra firm and sweet, requiring but little sugar in 
preserving. This variety forms strong runners which bear heavily the 
first season and produce enormous crops. Blossoms on all Everbearing 
varieties should be kept picked until July 15th, from newly set nlants

variety grown. If set early in spring, there is al¬ 
ways a good crop of runners early in July—they will 
be loaded with fruit by the beginning of August. 
This new berry has a tendency to grow numerous 
crowns from a single root and each crown is always 
loaded with blossom stems. This is the outstanding 
characteristic of the “Wayzata’’ and is what makes 
it a heavy bearer.

What the Minn. Fruit Growers’ Assn. Secretary 
Thinks of the New “Wayzata” Strawberry 
“During the past year I have talked with many 
fruit growers who have grown this Strawberry. The 
consensus of opinion is that the “Wayzata” is much 
superior in quality and appearance to other Ever- 
bearing Strawberries now grown. It appears to be 
the most outstanding of the new fruits of recent 
origin and is likely to be of considerable commercial 
value to growers on account of its excellent ship¬ 
ping qualities.”—J. D. Winter, Secretary, Nov., 1933.

Witt’s Market—Mpls., 
After two years’ experience 
of selling the “Wayzata” 
Strawberry, we find that this 
berry is far superior to any 
other berry we have ever 
handled. 
It has a wonderful appear¬ 
ance which makes it a good 
seller and its flavor and keep¬ 
ing quality make it a favorite 
with the customers.

SENATOR DUNLAP 
The old standby and the most satisfactory and productive June bear¬ 
ing variety. Does well wherever planted. Ripens medium early and 
continues to bear for a long time. The berries are large, beautiful 
form and color. Fruit firm and of luscious flavor. Good shipper Prices 1 
50 for 55c, 100 for 95c, 500 for $2.95, 1,000 for $5.25, prepaid. 
EARLY PREMIER 
Premier is about the earliest June bearing variety. It always gives 
satisfaction and ranks first in the opinion of leading horticulturists. 
This berry has not only an attractive appearance, due to its large size," 
bright red fruit, but also has quality and flavor. It withstands drought 
exceedingly well and is one of the best shippers. 
We offer big healthy, well rooted plants with which you cannot fail 
to get results. 
Prices: 50 for 75c, 100 for $1.30, 500 for $3.85, 1,000 for $7.25, 
prepaid. 
DORSETT 
A new variety introduced by the Department of 
Agriculture, that is making a wonderful record. Im¬ 
mensely popular—especially in the East, but well 
suited also for the Northwest. It has out-yielded 
Premier in most trials, producing as high as 6,640 
quarts per acre. The foliage is real vigorous, healthy 
and upstanding. The berries are considerably larger 
than those of Premier. Color is light red, beautiful 
in appearance, and appeals to all buyers in the 
market. A self-pollenizing variety. 
Dorsett is considered a frost-proof variety, having 
suffered no frost damage in its numerous trials. The 
quality of this berry is exceptionally fine and so far 
the plant supply has been limited. We advise order¬ 
ing early. 
Prices: 50 plants for 85c, 100 plants for $1.50, 500 
plants for $4.00, 1,000 plants for $7.85.

I have been using these ber¬ 
ries for practically an entire 
season, starting in July and 
continuing until October 23rd, 
and during this time my only 
trouble was in securing enough 
of Braden’s berries, as they 
were so far ahead of others 
in shipping quality and ap¬ 
pearance that they sold them¬ 
selves and one order always 
meant a repeat.
