LUSCIOUS STRAWBERRIES 
A GAIN, here is a fruit at its supreme best 
when picked fully ripe and fresh. And when 
strawberries and cream, shortcakes and luscious 
strawberry pies are foods a king might envy— 
why not have a strawberry patch of your own? 
The new everbearing varieties produce fruit all 
summer long. If your space is limited, here is a 
thought—use a border of everbearing straw¬ 
berries for your flower beds! The berries listed 
offer blight-resistant varieties of satisfying 
Neosho quality, both for commercial and home 
growing. 
CULTURE SUGGESTIONS 
Cover the ground with well-rotted 
manure—a wheelbarrow load to each 
100 square feet. Plow or dig the ground 
and pulverize deeply and thoroughly. 
Do not plant in ground that has just 
been in sod; if you do, the white grubs 
will probably destroy the plants. 
Cut back the roots to about 4 inches 
and put them in water. 
Be particularly careful to set plants 
the correct depth, the crowns just level 
with the surface, and firm the soil 
about the roots. 
Cultivate about once a week, and 
only an inch or two deep, but not when 
the ground is wet. 
Keep the blossoms picked off the 
first season on standard varieties and 
until about July 1st on Everbearers. 
The hill system produces the largest 
and finest berries. 
Aroma (Midseason to Late)—A 
richly colored large berry, deliciously 
aromatic in flavor. Ripens over a long 
season. Its chief merits are resistance 
to disease, productiveness and attrac¬ 
tiveness, firmness and high quality of 
the fruit. Best adapted to silt or clay 
soils. 125,000 crates, 24 quarts each, 
are shipped out of Neosho per year, 
practically all Aroma. They are sent 
to New England, Canada, Colorado, 
Texas and numerous other states. 
Blakemore — A new variety intro¬ 
duced and highly recommended by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture; it 
is a cross between Premier and Mis¬ 
sionary. A fine quality berry of light 
red color, good size; and an extra 
he»vy producer. Flesh is firm with 
solid center, a fine shipping berry and 
ripens a week earlier than Aroma. 
Ozark Early (Extra Early)-—Dark 
red. excellent quality berry; large for 
their season. The plant is vigorous and 
productive. 
Progressive (Everbearing) — Bears 
first summer and fall, second year in 
spring and fall. The berries are me¬ 
dium size, dark crimson and delicious 
in quality. The plant is unusually 
healthy, vigorous, very hardy and 
productive. It needs a rich soil amply 
supplied with moisture. If an early 
frost catches one set of blossoms, an¬ 
other is formed immediately. 
Mastodon (Everbearing) —Now holds 
first place among the everbearers. 
Produces great quantities of the larg¬ 
est berries of any of the everbearing 
varieties, and is a strong grower and 
heavy fruiter. 
(Senator) Dunjap (Midseason)—One 
of the most widely planted varieties. 
Noted for dependability and produc¬ 
tiveness. A medium sized handsome 
berry, deep glossy red, exceedingly 
juicy; very good quality. Plants are 
very hardy and drouth-resistant. 
Adapted to any type of soil.

“Under separate cover am mailing 
you a kodak picture of my strawberry 
patch that was s<st last April with the 
3,000 Blakemore plants bought from 
your nursery. This snapshot was taken 
about the middle of September; this 
will show that the plants came through 
the dryest summer we have had for 
years without loss of but very few 
plants. Was certainly pleased with 
them.”

Your Trees Have Eine Root System 
“Trees arrived in splendid condition. 
You certainly deserve thanks for the 
care with which you take the trees up 
and pack them; fine roots and not 
broken or bruised. Some nurseries cut 
roots short and bruise them by care¬ 
lessness in digging. These trees have 
such a fine root system they will sure¬ 
ly do well.”
