SEN. DUNLAP 
MID-SEASON 
The Best for the 
Mid-North Berry Grower 
The Sen. Dunlap is an old 
standard variety strawberry 
which has been successfully 
grown for many years. It is a 
free plant maker, very hardy, 
and produces an enormous crop 
of excellent quality berries. 
The Dunlap is one of the most 
favored varieties in the North 
and Mid-North, apparently be¬ 
ing very resistant to frost in¬ 
jury. Its dark red fruit ripens 
mid-season, and probably no 
berry yet produced equals it for 
canning and preserving. 
Its fruit is very firm, with a bright green cap, and slightly blunted in shape. It stands hot, moist weather 
without great injury. For a berry of unexcelled canning quality and one which produces a heavy yield, 
we suggest that you try our good, strong Dunlap plants. As we have found the Dunlap and the Dr. Burrill 
to be one and the same berry, we have discontinued listing them separately. 
Here’s Proof of New Ground Plants. 
CHAMPION K 
ST. LOUIS 
A Good Early Berry 
The Champion K, although not as popular as many mid¬ 
season and second early berries, is one of our best earliest 
varieties. It ripens with Excelsior, the earliest strawberry 
grown, and its fruit is fully as large as the Klondike. 
The fruit stem of Champion K is very large and the plant 
makes a strong, vigorous growth, producing an abundance 
of heavily foliaged plants. The berry is bright red, slightly 
blunted, and a good shipper for an early berry. 
As these berries ripen several days before the Premier 
there is always a demand on the market for them. Try 
a few hundred of our Champion K and cash in on the local 
market. 
For size and earliness the St. Louis is unexcelled. It 
ripens with the Excelsior and its fruit is much larger than 
either the Excelsior or the Champion K. However, this 
berry has one serious defect: It is too soft for transporting 
any distance. If the picking season happens to be unusually 
rainy, the St. Louis often becomes “puffy” and bleeds too 
freely for shippng. 
The berries are very large, light red in color, and a fine 
table delicacy. Ripening as early as it does, it meets favor 
on local markets. 
It is perfect flowering and of vigorous growth. It seldom 
frost injures, however, it is not recommended for Northern 
setting. 
BLAKEMORE Early, Hardy, Productive 
THE BEST EARLY 
THE NEW BLAKEMORE, although introduced scarcely 
more than ten years ago, has been fruited in practically 
every state in the Union, and its success has been so phe¬ 
nomenal that in many districts it is rapidly displacing its 
parents, the Premier and Missionary. As a plant maker, a 
shipping berry, and a prolific yielder, it has not been bet¬ 
tered, and added to these admirable qualities is the fact that 
it will grow and yield a fair crop under conditions not favor¬ 
able to berry culture. Where other varieties of early straw¬ 
berries will grow and yield, we firmly believe that the Blake- 
more will grow better, yield more, and be of better quality 
than the other variety. We have fruited this berry for sev¬ 
eral years and we are so pleased with it, and we are so con- 
GANDY 
The Old Standby 
This is one of the old favorites which has been planted 
for the past thirty years, and according to many growers, 
has not been bettered for a late variety. 
In color, texture, and quality the Gandy ranks near the 
top. It is a good shipping berry and if planted with Aroma, 
will produce a fair yield. 
The Gandy blossoms late and is seldom injured by frost. 
Its plant growth is strong and abundant, its foliage heavy 
and of a dark green color. To anyone who understands 
fruiting the imperfect blossoming berries we recommend the 
Gandy for a late variety. 
SHIPPING VARIETY 
fident that our customers will be pleased with it, that we 
recommend it to all strawberry growers. 
The Blakemore is a tart berry of the Missionary type. 
This berry is slightly blunted at the point, conic-shaped, 
with broad shoulders and slim neck. Its bright green cap 
curls upward when the fruit ripens, making it easy to pick 
and hull. 
The Blakemore is firmer than either of its parents. It 
will not puff and become soft during hot, moist weather. It 
will not bleed unless given unnecessary abuse, and unlike 
many other early berries, it retains its bright red color long 
after picking. This fact coupled with its earliness gives it 
a great advantage in the wholesale markets. 
The Excelsior is the most favored extra-early strawberry 
that we have ever produced, however, in many respects it 
will not measure up to the Champion K. 
The Excelsior fruit is large and juicy, dark red in color, 
and of high dessert quality. The plants are vigorous with 
ample foliage to shade them throughout the growing and 
fruiting season. 
This variety has stood the test of twenty years steady 
setting by market gardeners. On short hauls it reaches the 
market in tip-top shape, however, it is not firm enough to 
make a good shipping berry.
