STRAWBERRIES 
See Page 4 for Prices on Strawberry Plants. 
ABERDEEN 
(PER.) has recently come 
into wide favor as the 
finest and most profitable midseason variety and 
we can highly recommend it to follow Premier, 
Blakemore and other of the early varieties. Fruit¬ 
ing tests have shown it to outyield all other varieties 
of its season. Tests conducted by the Department 
of Horticulture in Pennsylvania in 1929 indicated 
that it was the heaviest yielding variety in that 
state. The berries are large and attractive, ex¬ 
cellent quality and are typically “strawberry flav¬ 
ored.” Aberdeen is a thrifty grower and produces 
a dark, glossy, bluish-green foliage. Jam or pre¬ 
serves made from the berries are an attractive light 
red color. We are sure you will find Aberdeen 
most desirable for home use and one of the most 
profitable commercial varieties. 
BELLMAR 
(PER.) Of all the early varie¬ 
ties Bellmar, Blakemore, and 
Premier have and maintain the healthiest foliage 
throughout the fruiting season and these three stand 
head and shoulders above all other early varieties of 
strawberries in the production of large quantities of 
fancy berries, with the possible exception of the 
two new government berries, Fairfax and Dorsett. 
The fruit of Bellmar is very beautiful and striking 
in appearance, a good deep red in color, very firm 
and solid to the core. The berries average large 
in size and are less acid than Blakemore. Bellmar 
is truly a blue ribbon variety. 
pD£|t/|ipD (Per.) The Premier is one of 
■ most popular varieties that 
we offer and it well deserves all the praise that 
can be given it, for several reasons: 
1. Premier is the first to ripen. 
2. Fruit large size and deep red color. 
3. Firm flesh and excellent quality. 
4. Heavy yielder and makes thrifty growth. 
5. You can depend on Premier for a good crop 
when other varieties are a failure. 
6. Foliage is not susceptible to the leaf spot 
which has ruined many strawberry patches. 
We unhesitatingly recommend the Premier for 
either home or commercial planting. 
AROMA 
(PER.) Genuine Aroma is still 
heid in highest esteem by many 
growers as a midseason variety. Aberdeen is now 
a strong competition in this season and both of 
these varieties can be depended on for plenty of 
fine berries at a time when the flood of early 
berries is off the market. 
THE WEST TENNESSEE 
“Strawberry Festival” 
(From Tennessee Horticulture) 
The Strawberry exhibits attracted much at¬ 
tention. Blakemores took all the sweepstakes. 
The 1934 season offered the first opportunity 
of really comparing the Blakemore with other 
standard varieties. Practically all reports agree 
that Blakemore yields more berries per acre than 
Klondike, Aroma or Premier, and that, in seasons 
of drouth will hold up in size with the best of 
them. 
Everbearing Strawberries 
The 
Giant 
Mastodon 
Everbearing 
MASTODON 
is the most desirable Everbearing Strawberry ever introduced. Produces three 
heavy crops in 18 months. The plants set in early spring start bearing in late 
summer and continue until November. The second crop is picked the following June, the third crop comes 
In the autumn of the same year. 
Mastodon is the finest of all Everbearing Strawberries and we can strongly recommend it for both 
commercial and garden planting. It is a thrifty grower, produces an abundance of large, delicious berries. 
100 plants set in April or May will start to bear in three months and supply the average sized family with 
an abundance of berries for table use.
