COOPER 
Cooper plants resemble Beauty in many ways, but are not quite so large. It 
does not make a large number of plants, but produces berries of immense size. I 
would not advise a large planting of this variety, but if you wish to surprise your 
friends with berries of stupendous size plant a few. It is not suited for long distance 
shipping, but suitable for near-by markets. Cooper makes exceptionally long roots and 
is able to produce berries in very dry weather. 
PRICE: 25 for 40c; 100 for $1.10, prepaid. 1,000 for $6.50, not prepaid. 
BEAUTY 
Beauty was rightly named. A row of them from a distance resembles a row of 
potatoes. The plants are immense in size, measuring 15 inches high, with leaves as 
large as your hand. It does not make many plants, but they produce berries rivaling 
in beauty those found in pictures. The berries are large in size, dark red, very firm, 
and remarkable keepers. It is worthy of a trial by all berry producers. Although we 
do not advise planting them on a large scale. 
PRICE: 25 for 40c; 100 for $1.10, prepaid. 1,000 for $6.56, not prepaid. 
•-- 
The following three varieties are of somewhat recent introduction. They received 
a lot of high-powered advertising to which a large number of people fell. They each 
have some good points, but in other ways they are not so good. 
BED GOLD 
This variety ripens early, has a fine flavor, the stems are very long; they make 
plants freely and up to ripening time do very well, but they do not seem able to 
mature their crop. The foliage does not seem to stand up under the June sun, and 
the berries remain small and inferior. However, we have some fine plants if you wish 
to try them. 
PRICE: 25 for 30c; 100 for 90c, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.25, not prepaid. 
WASHINGTON 
Washington is the sweetest berry we have ever known, and up to the fruiting 
time gives promise of an exceedingly good crop, but from then on they seem to de¬ 
teriorate. We do know that far north of us they have produced a fine crop of berries. 
We can furnish plants to those who wish to try them. However, we do not recom¬ 
mend them. 
PRICE: 25 for 30c; 100 for 90c, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.25, not prepaid. 
HARVEST KING 
Harvest King is best suited for localities where the soil is somewhat heavy and 
where difficulty is experienced in getting a fruiting row'. The plants produce a large 
amount of very sweet berries, but many are inferior in size. The foliage is deficient 
and many berries sunburn. 
PRICE: 25 for 30c; 100 for 90c, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.25, not prepaid.
