STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Delicious, fine strawberries are easy to grow if you get good plants. Set 
out only strong, freshly dug plants of the best varieties and the rest is 
simple. Merely give them ordinary cultivation to keep the weeds out and 
you will have fine strawberries. 
Our plants are fresh dug and are guaranteed to reach the pur¬ 
chaser in good condition. If any should be damaged on the way we 
will replace them without charge if notified within two days after the re¬ 
ceipt of the plants. 
Strawberry plants should be set out in the spring as early as the ground can he 
gotten in good condition. The rows should be 'i'/z ft. apart and the plants 12 to 18 
in. apart in the rows. Complete directions for raising strawberries will he found in 
our pamphlet on the Culture of Vegetables and Flowers” which will he sent free 
with any order if requested. 
Orders for plants will be entered at any time and the plants will be 
sent at the proper time for setting them out. We cannot agree to send 
plants to the Pacific Coast or to the Gulf Coast States as strawberry plants 
cannot be successfully transported so far and we cannot furnish them at 
the time they should be set out in these localities. Write for prices on 
large lots. We cannot send plants into Canada. 
Two New Strawberries of Exceptional Merit 
These two new varieties, Dorsett and Fairfax originated at the United 
States Department of Agriculture from crosses between Premier and Royal 
Sovereign, and are the most outstanding among the early kinds. They are 
better than either parent and much superior in yield, earliness, size, firm¬ 
ness, generally attractive appearance and quality to any early berry we 
have ever seen. We are sure that these berries will not only make more and 
better berries for the home garden, but will maintain the reputation that 
they have gained ol bringing a premium over other berries wherever they 
are offered for sale. 
In vigor of growth and clean healthy appearance of the plants, both 
Dorsett and Fairfax are exceptionally fine. Perfect flowers. 
DORSETT . The berries are very large and firm, with a most delicious flavor. 
1 he color is medium light which is maintained for some time, making 
this the best kind for those who want a medium light berry and for mar¬ 
kets where a light color sells best. In our trials this summer Dorsett out- 
yielded every variety except Fairfax and Premier, and the berries were 
superior to Premier. 
FAIRFAX. The berries are fully as large as Dorsett, and of the same general 
shape. There is not much to choose in firmness between the two, but 
I airfax is darker in color, at the picking stage and gets quite dark as they 
get older. For those who prefer a darker berry we recommend the 
Fairfax. 
In our trials this summer, the Fairfax not only outyielded all other 
varieties, but the berries were greatly superior to all except Dorsett. 
Price: Either Fairfax or Dorsett.

CLERMONT. Vigorous, Hardy and Productive. This variety origi¬ 
nated at the New York State Agriculture Experiment Station at Geneva 
from a cross between Premier and Marshall. This is a very early variety, 
ripening with Premier but are larger and of better quality than that well 
known variety. The berries are very large, handsome and regular in 
shape and of excellent quality. They are firm and do not bruise easily. 
The plants are more vigorous than most of the old varieties, hardy and 
very productive. This berry is recommended as a commercial variety 
for local and roadside markets and also as a fine home berry. Perfect 
flowers.

CULVER. Fine For Home Canning. Originated from the same cross as 
Clermont. Tins is a very high quality berry. The deep red color carried 
through to the center and sprightly flavor make it a most excellent kind 
lor canning The berries are very large, regular and cone shaped. They 
do not stand handling quite as well as Clermont but the quality is better 
and we recommend them for the home garden and local market where 
quality counts. I he plants are vigorous, productive and healthy Ma¬ 
tures in early midseason. Perfect flowers.

PREMIER. The Standard Early Berry. This berry is one of the best of 
the early varieties The berries are exceptionally large, deep bright red 
all over and are ot fine quality. They ripen very early and the plants are 
strong, healthy and extremely productive. On account of the large size 
and handsome appearance the Premier berries are always in demand 
making this variety one of the most profitable to raise for market and 
roadside sales. Perfect flowers.

Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
You get a crop the first year! 
These varieties start to produce fruit almost as soon as the plants are 
set out. Plants set out in the Spring commence to bear ripe fruit in August 
and continue to bear until freezing weather. The following year they 
produce a crop in June, the same as the common kinds, and also another 
crop in August and September. 
Note —It is essential to set out the plants 
early in the spring, so do not delay ordering 
them as they must be set early. 
When the plants are first set out the 
flowers should be carefully picked off and 
none allowed to produce fruit until the 
plants have become well established which 
will be six to eight weeks. 
MASTODON. The Largest and Best 
Everbearing. The fruit is rounded 
conical in shape, smooth and glossy, 
bright red and very sweet, being 
more free from acidity than any 
strawberry we know of. The plants 
we offer are exceptionally strong and 
vigorous and will produce large 
yields of big berries. There have 
been several new Everbearing berries introduced recently, but we do not 
consider that any of them are equal to the Mastodon
