LUCKY STRIKE. Introduced recently by an eastern plant grow¬ 
er and is worthy of planting. I do not consider this variety equal 
to Mastodon, but it is superior to Champion and Progressive everbear¬ 
ing sorts. It is a persistant yielder of medium to large berries of 
very good, quality and good appearances. Makes plants quite freely 
and is a vigorous grower. Will make a good bed of plants when other 
everbearing varieties fail. The berries have the seedy appearance 
of the Chesapeake. Does not yield as heavily as Mastodon. 
SUPER GIANT. Plant growth is strong and vigorous, and quite 
productive but not equal to Mastodon in either vigor or productiveness. 
Berries are large, of good quality, and good in appearance. Fully 
equal to Mastodon in this respect. It is worth trying. 
FOR ROADSIDE MARKETS 
If you desire berries early then grow Dorsett, Fairfax and Premier. 
If you wish berries in mid-season then plant Big Joe or Lupton. 
If you desire a late berry then plant Chesapeake, Wm. Belt or 
Aroma. 
If you wish berries in late summer and fall then grow Mastodon, 
Progressive or Super Giant. 
If you desire berries for preserving then grow Blakemore, Premier, 
Dorsett, Fairfax or Chesapeake. 
If you desire berries for appearance, quality and taste plant 
Fairfax, Dorsett, Big Joe, Lupton, Wm. Belt, Mastodon or Progressive. 
New Castle Co., Del., March 23, 1934. Will you let me know when 
you could send me an order of plants, if weather permits. You should 
see the 1500 plants I bought of you last season. They would have 
covered the ground if I had let them. Some bed of plants: Big Joe, 
Lupton and Premier. I don’t think anyone could beat them.
