PLANT DEPARTMENT 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS — Sterling Quality 
My Strawberry Plants are raised on fresh ground, well fertilized and 
mulched. They are well rooted, healthy and true to name. We are 
trying out new kinds for this section. 
The Dorsett and Fairfax are unexcelled for quality and the Catskill 
is considered the best mid-season. 
All plants are from a new bed. No old plants are ever sold by me.

Have tried to list the 8 kinds named above about in their order of 
ripening. 
All kinds have perfect blossoms and can be set alone if desired. 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
MASTODON. The largest and best Fall bearing berry we have 
tried yet. Very sweet berries. Heavy yielding. 
Set the plants this Spring, keep all blossoms pinched off until July 
and then thin the blossoms out 40% right through the rest of the sea¬ 
son. You will then have good-sized berries of fine flavor right up to 
freezing weather and another crop the following Spring. Per Doz., 
25c; per 100, $1.50.
