Strawberry Plants 
Late summer planting of Hunt’s Superb Strawberry plants in heavily fertilized ground 
insures a good crop of fruit next spring 
Strawberries give the greatest yield and the largest berries when grown in rich 
soil; hence, no pains should be spared in preparing the bed carefully before plant¬ 
ing, by digging or plowing deeply and turning under a liberal supply of well- 
rotted manure. At fruiting-time a top-dressing of ground bone will be beneficial. 
Strawberry plants should be set out in rows 2 feet apart and the plants a foot 
apart, cutting off all runners as they appear. The varieties we offer are all perfect 
flowering and therefore need no association with any other variety for perfect 
fruiting. 
Shipping season lasts from July 15 until October. We recommend as early 
planting as possible to enable the plants to get established before the advent of 
winter. 
Uniform prices for all sorts, $1.25 per doz; $7 per 100 
Popular Standard Varieties, Pot-grown 
Aberdeen. Midseason. Produces immense crops of large, bright red berries. 
Catskill. Midseason. A heavy yielder of excellent fruit. 
Chesapeake. The berries are uniform in size and shape, mostly heart-shaped. 
Color is bright crimson and the flesh firm and of excellent quality. Midseason 
to late. 
Dorsett. Very early. Large, firm, and of perfect quality, these bright red berries 
will captivate your berry appetite. 
Early Jersey Giant. Fruit of extra-high quality, very attractive, and extremely 
productive. 
Fairfax. Second-early berry. Its flavor is even richer than that of Dorsett, and 
the berries are slightly larger and very firm. 
Howard No. 17. One of the best of the second-early varieties. 
Hundred Dollar. Midseason. Large scarlet berries of delicious flavor. 
Joe (Big Joe). A midseason to late variety, fully up to Chesapeake in size, firmness 
and yield. 
Lupton. Very much like Gandy but much more productive and about five or 
six days earlier. We consider this one of the finest of the varieties fruiting late. 
Marshall. Vigorous in growth, with clean, healthy foliage. Very productive 
under high culture. Midseason. 
New Washington. Popular late sort. Very prolific, with firm, delicious fruits. 
Premier. Excelled by no early variety. Produces vast quantities of berries of 
good size; attractive, and excellent quality. 
Sharpless. A variety that fruits rather late in the season. Produces handsome, 
large berries of fine quality. 
Success. One of the best early varieties. Bright scarlet, slightly oblong berries 
with blunt end. 
William Belt. Another old favorite. Very productive of large, irregular berries, 
unsurpassed in flavor by any other variety. Midseason to late.
