Proven Berry Plants i i KNOTT’S BERRY PLACE / i Trees and Vines 
Champion “X”—(Not to be confused 
with Champion Everbearing.) This is a 
very large berry that originated as a 
sport in a field of Klondyke. The fruit 
looks like Klondyke, but is larger and 
sweeter ana not quite as firm. This 
berry starts ripening a little later in the 
spring than Klondyke and never knows 
when to quit bearing. Where the water 
supply and fertility of the soil is kept 
up we have watched them start bearing 
in the spring and bear straight through 
until October first, and not only did they 
bear over this long season, but the ber¬ 
ries were large marketable fruit during 
the whole time. 
This is a semi-everbearing variety and 
these are the main differences between 
the Champion “K” and the regular ever- 
bearers. The regular everbearer produces 
its main crop the same year it is planted 
and very often they bear themselves so 
nearly to death the first summer that 
they are not worth saving over for an¬ 
other year. The Champion “K” bears 
only a light crop the first fall, and pro¬ 
duces its main crops the second and 
third seasons, as other spring bearing 
varieties do. Nearly all of the regular 
everbearers make very few new plants, 
so must be set out in your rows just 
about as thick as you want them, while 
the Champion “K” can be set out wide 
apart and allowed to make runners to 
fill out the rows the first summer, if you 
wish. The Champion “K” is a much finer 
and better looking berry than most of 
the everbearers. The supply of plants 
will be very limited this year.

Gem Everbearing 1 —This is a bright 
colored, medium sized, everbearing berry, 
with a little more snappy flavor than 
most everbearers. Well worth trying. 
Prices prepaid— 25, 75c; 50, $1.40; 100, 
$2.00; 300, $6.00; 500, $8.00; 1000, $14.00. 
Rockhill —There has been a great deal 
said about this everbearing strawberry, 
the past year or two. It is absolutely true 
that the Rockhill is the finest flavored of 
all the everbearing kinds we have ever 
tasted. 
In California it makes practically no 
runners at all. In Oregon, where it was 
originally grown, it makes a few run¬ 
ners some seasons, and other seasons it 
does not. Since it makes no runners to 
renew itself, there are no new plants to 
replace the losses, if disease or pests 
kill the original plant. 
It is propagated by digging up the 
crowns and dividing them, at the end of 
the first growing season. This practice 
makes very poor looking plants and it 
makes them expensive. Some places in 
California where it has been grown, it 
has done very well and is highly praised 
by its growers. On the other hand, many 
other growers have made a complete fail¬ 
ure with it. 
Do not plant on land that has been in 
tomatoes or other crops subject to 
blight, for it will hold over in the 
ground and this variety seems suscep¬ 
tible to it. 
Prices, prepaid: 25, $1.50; 50, $2.50; 
100, $5.00. 
NOTE: If you order Rockhill do not 
expect fine, rooted plants, like those you 
get when ordering other varieties. These 
plants are mostly subdivisions, with very 
little root. The peculiar part is that they 
grow just as fast as any other fine 
variety. 
Dorsett — See inside back cover 
for picture and prices of this great 
new variety. It is our first choice 
for the home garden and we be¬ 
lieve will prove the best money¬ 
maker, too. 
It has flavor, color, keeping qual¬ 
ities, and productiveness. With 
these qualities you can not make 
a mistake in planting Dorsett. 
Your customers will come back 
and ask for them again and again. 
We know because ours did last 
summer. 
Our thrifty plants produce crops like this.
