New GEM 
Everbearer 
This new Everbearing- Strawberry is making 
great progress, and we hear only praise of it 
from all sections of the country. It differs from 
other everbearers, principally in its ability to 
produce new plants freely and thus build up a 
good fruiting row. The plants are not large like 
Mastodon, but very vigorous, and will grow 
and make new plants as well as any of the 
spring sorts. Gem berries are a little lighter in 
color than Mastodon, nearly round, of good size 
and very attractive in the package. It has a rich 
sweet flavor, the flesh is of fine texture and so 
firm that it will stand shipping better than any 
other Everbearer. The supply of plants is very 
limited this season, probably not enough to 
New Gem meet all requirements, so don't delay in placing 
your order for them. 
Take advantage of 10% cash discount 
for orders received before March 1st.

Blakemore Strawberries. 
Blakemore (Per.) 
Few varieties of strawberries have been offered 
to the public with such strong endorsement from 
agricultural stations and private growers as 
Blakemore. It is of scientific origin, being 
a cross of Missionary and Premier and in 
the various tests made has been given first 
place by U. S. Plant Stations and also by 
the National Preservers Association. In 
shape and color it much resem¬ 
bles its parent, Premier, but it is 
somewhat earlier than that va¬ 
riety. It makes new plants much 
more freely and it is a heavy 
producer of fancy highly colored 
fruit, like Premier. Its beautiful 
bright red color, tough skin, firm 
flesh and excellent flavor make 
it very desirable for preserving 
and it will stand longer after 
picking and reach market in bet¬ 
ter condition than any other sort. 
We have an excellent supply 
of Blakemore this spring. The 
price is right, and we advise 
planting heavily of it for it is one 
of the biggest money makers 
grown. Prices on page 23.
