Varieties of Strawberries £, 
Or. Burrill 
KEITH’S 
MEL IBI IKIEH EE (Early) 
Dr. Burrill is the result of a cross between Senator Dunlap and 
the Crescent (an old, verj’- productive variety). Often called the 
“Million Dollar Strawberry,” because it’s a money-maker, adding 
millions of dollars to growers’ pocketbooks. Can be grown in 
any soil—even hard clay or heavy loam, such as found in Illinois 
or Iowa. It is easily grown, therefore, an ideal variety for the 
beginner or for those who do not pretend to know all about straw¬ 
berry growing. Dr. Burrill will come about as near taking care of itself as any straw¬ 
berry, at the same time it responds with large yields under good care. The plant habits 
and berries resemble the Senator Dunlap very much so that some are of the opinion that 
they are identical with that variety, however, we offer them to our customers at the same 
price as the Senator Dunlap. Berries dark red and sweet (you can tell that by that 
“necked” berry in the illustration to the right). As good for canning and preserves as the 
old Warfield, only the berries are larger and more of them. (Prices p. 21.)

We have over 700 new Strawberry varieties 
under test this Season. Most of them of our 
own origin. Some sent us by U. S. Government. 
BLAKEMORE 
(Mid-Season ) 
MM AM i%. (Late) 
Aroma is a very dependable, late variety. Grown 
and liked everywhere. Ripens late, commencing 
before Kanner King ends, and continues a week 
to 10 days longer. Aroma lengthens your berry 
season wonderfully. Aroma plants are hardy, 
very free from diseases and, under ordinary con¬ 
ditions, makes a number of fruiting plants. One 
of the best strawberries for southern Indiana 
and localities of similar latitude. 
Aroma berries are very firm, dark red through¬ 
out, medium to large, and their good flavor and 
color hold well after cooking. It is the best all- 
around late berry. (Price see p. 21.) 
JOAN (Late ) 
Joan is a French variety we received through 
the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry. We intro¬ 
duced this unique variety two years ago and 
during those two years, Joan gained rapidly in 
popularity, but this year we will not have any 
Joan plants to offer. We wish our many cus¬ 
tomers and friends to know that we have not 
discontinued the variety, but what plants we 
have' we will have to keep for plant breeding 
purposes and to replenish our stock for next 
plant season. If you would like to try out the 
variety, write us for not more than 12 plants, 
they will cost you only 50c. 
New Variety from U. S. Dept, of Agriculture 
Blakemore is a New variety originated by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture, as a result of a 
cross between the Premier and Missionary. It 
resembles the Premier very much, berries as 
large, sometimes larger, about the same shape, 
better color which holds well long after picking 
and canning and a more pleasing flavor. We 
quote from U. S. Circular No. 93 which tells 
all about this worthy variety: “Its easy picking 
and capping qualities, its bright-red color, tough 
skin and firm flesh, solid center, acidity, high 
pectin content and excellent flavor makes it a 
desirable variety for preserving.” (Read p. 5.) 
Blakemore berries hold their color well after 
Blakemore—Holds color, shape and firm- picking, can be left on the vines 2 or 3 days 
ness a long time. without spoiling and is a good shipper.. It ripens 
early in the season, keeps up well in size to end 
of picking season, has very healthy foliage, and makes an abundance of plants. Turn to 
page 5 for more information. (Prices p. 21.)

KANNER KING 
(Mid-Season ) 
Carries U. S. Plant 
Patent No. 26 
The Most Useful Strawberry Grown 
King of the Canners 
(Read pages 12 and 13) 
Keith’s Kanner King is a variety that is equally 
good for all forms of canning, preserving, etc., 
as it is for table use, such as fresh strawberries, 
shortcakes, etc. It was the lone selection out of 
some 5,000 other seedling varieties grown in 
Keith Brothers’ experimental beds. Its heavy 
yields of attractive, glossy-red berries with their 
firmness and lasting strawberry makes Kanner 
King an outstanding variety. 
Keith’s Kanner King is the best “all ’round” 
berry of the strawberry family today—good for 
canning or fresh berries for table use, and one 
from which you can realize the most profit. Of¬ 
fered and sold exclusively by Keith Bros. Nur¬ 
sery. Read pages 1, 12 and 13 for more details. 
(Prices p. 21.) 
UNCLE CAP (Mid-Season ) 
The Big Shortcake Strawberry 
Here’s another one of Keith’s strawberries orig¬ 
inated and introduced by ourselves. It came 
from among the same 5,000 seedlings from 
which we selected our Kanner King. Here is the 
“shortcake strawberry” you have been looking 
for for sometime. They are so sweet and de¬ 
licious in flavor that they require scarcely any 
sugar. 
The regretting part of it all is, we have very few 
Uncle Cap plants to offer this year, because of 
the drouth of last summer. We can offer only 
25 plants to a customer this season. Price per 25 
Uncle Cap $1.00. 
GIBSON (Mid-Season ) 
An Old Reliable Standby 
Here is an old standby, one of the most re¬ 
liable varieties in the strawberry family—Pro¬ 
ductive, Dependable, Profitable. A strong 
grower which does well in any soil where such 
crops as potatoes, melons, oats, corn and like 
crops can be grown. 
Berries are dark, glossy red all over, making 
them a very attractive pack, inviting buyers. 
Firm with a rich strawberry flavor. Stands 
shipping or hauling well. 
Keith’s Famous Gibson plants are highly pro¬ 
ductive, having a record of yielding at one 
picking at the rate of 7,260 quarts per acre, more 
than double the world’s average per acre for the 
whole strawberry season. (Price see p. 21.)
