Strawberry Varieties 
PREMIER 
No strawberry has ever been so deservedly popular. It 
is perfect flowering, a good plant maker, and frost resist¬ 
ant. Its best points, however, are its ability to set an extra 
large crop of berries and mature every one. Few small 
berries are found even at the last picking. The fruit is 
large, bright in color and high in quality. The leading 
berry for home market, supplanting all other kinds. No 
berry ever listed has earned such a deserved place in the 
variety list. We recommend it as the BEST early and 
mid-season variety. In small plantings use Premier only. 
BLAKEMORE 
This follows Premier in ripening period. A variety that 
is taking the place of the old standby, Senator Dunlap. 
Berry very firm, good table quality and has no superior for 
canning or preserving. Good plant maker, especially adapt¬ 
ed to poorer or lighter soil. We consider it one of the real 
discoveries. It is recognized as a superior home and local 
market berry. 
SENATOR DUNLAP 
Its one fault lies in its habit of making too many plants. 
Dark rich red fruits ripening in mid-season, of excellent 
quality. Heavy annual producer. Must be kept thinned 
out in the row, otherwise too many plants and small size 
fruits will result. 
GANDY 
Still the best late berry. Robust plants that fruit on 
strong stems, blossoming exceedingly late and thus miss¬ 
ing frosts that often kill the early bloomers. Considered 
the best preserving berry by many and is also very fine 
as a table variety. Plant with confidence. 
AROMA 
As Premier, Blakemore, and Fairfax overlap its season 
of ripening and are so superior, we are discontinuing 
Aroma. 
DORSETT 
One of the most satisfactory varieties that has been 
introduced in years. Its high quality, light colored berries 
are excellent both for home and commercial purposes. 
Ripens a few days after Premier and while by some is 
thought better we are not yet ready to give it preference. 
It is a good plant maker. 
FAIRFAX 
As Fairfax and Dorsett were sent out at the same time 
and ripen along with Premier they are generally compared 
with each other. We have found that Fairfax ripens a 
week or more after Premier, is of darker color, especially 
when ripe, and of firm texture. It so overlaps Aroma that 
we prefer it to that variety both as to quality and produc¬ 
tion. While excellent and can be planted to take the place 
of Premier we are not yet willing to admit its superiority. 
However, you can plant with confidence.
