Strawberries 
The Premier is one of the 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. 
Gibson 
Strong grower with long roots and abun¬ 
dant foliage, exceedingly productive. Berries 
extra large, choice flavored, dark glossy red 
clear through ; follows Premier. 
Sample (Imp*) 
A standard late sort for both home and 
market. Large dark-colored berries in profu¬ 
sion, of uniform size. Should be planted with 
a “perfect” companion; never alone. 
Wm. Belt 
Vigorous, thrifty, heavy plant, producing 
large crops under good common matted row 
culture. Berries extra long, conical, quite 
uniform in shape, brilliant glossy red. 
Fresh Dug as Order is Received. 
Our Strawberries are grown on rich, gravelly soil this season by a 
man who is a strawberry specialist, consequently we have a won¬ 
derful bed of about 175,000 Strawberries to offer to the trade. 
Unless otherwise indicated, all our varieties are perfect-flowering 
or male varieties and need no other variety planted with them for 
fertilization. Our northern grown plants are worth double the 
plants you see offered.

Senator Dunlap. 
Premier 
Senator Dunlap 
SENATOR DUNLAP IS AN OLD STANDARD VARIETY 
grown for a good many years. This variety has made more crates 
and more dollars for berry growers than any other one variety. 
Requires very little attention, and beds last for years if you keep 
the grass out. It’s the toughest variety known. Plants are healthy, 
fast growers, and make plants freely. Should be set 24 inches by 
36 inches apart in rows. Berries very dark red. Wonderful canning 
berry ; great for preserves. Senator Dunlap is sometimes sold under 
the name of Dr. Burrill. We can see no difference between these 
two varieties, except the cost of the plants. We are listing Senator 
Dunlap plants at a very reasonable price, and have some fine plants 
to offer. Will not do so well in Southern States. 
New Dorsett 
This new variety was originated by 
the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture. It is a scientific cross between 
the PREMIER and the Royal Sovereign, 
an English variety. 
Dorsett is one of the firmest berries 
knowns, and one of the heaviest pro¬ 
ducers, having produced at the rate of 
6640 quarts per acre in the East. The 
foliage is a very dark green and holds 
this fine color way through the fruiting 
season. Dorsett berries average very 
large in size, even a little larger than 
Premier. Color is of light red, and will 
hold this light red color long after pick¬ 
ing. This probably will be a big factor 
when you market them on the wholesale 
markets as that is what the wholesale 
fruit buyers are looking for in the last 
few years. Light red berries always ap¬ 
pear to be in better shape than do dark 
red ones. Be sure to try a few of the 
plants this year. We are sure it will be 
one of the leaders in a very short time. 
Fairfax 
Fairfax is the QUALITY berry. It is 
considered by most everyone who have 
tasted them to be by far a better flav¬ 
ored berry than Premier, and other good 
flavored berries. FAIRFAX like DOR¬ 
SETT, was introduced by the United 
States Department of Agriculture, and 
is supposed to be a cross between the 
Premier and the Royal Sovereign. 
The foliage like Dorsett is of a very 
good quality. Good foliage means a 
good fruiting berry. 
Fairfax is also a very productive ber¬ 
ry, having produced at the rate of 5120 
quarts per acre. The size of the berries 
average large. They will average with 
the CHESAPEAKE, and that is going 
some. Fairfax is a little more firm than 
Dorsett, and is fully as firm as Blake- 
more. This makes it a wonderful ship¬ 
ping berry. The color of the Fairfax 
is light red, with yellow seeds, and a 
nice green hull. You should by all 
means try some Fairfax this spring.
