Big Joe Strawberry 
Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants 
TWO NEW EARLY STRAWBERRIES 
These two new varieties were developed bv 
scientists in the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
and were selected from thousands of seedlings 
as being outstanding in quality, vigor, produc¬ 
tiveness, size, and appearance. 
Dorsett. The berries average very large, are 
firm and rather light in color, while the flavor 
leaves nothing to be desired. They are beauti¬ 
ful in appearance, the light color, bright green 
cap, large size, and attractive shape making 
them very desirable. They should appeal to 
every grower of Strawberries. 
Fairfax. Picked at the proper time, Fairfax 
berries average very large and firm, are bright 
red with a light green cap; as they become 
riper they get darker and then very dark red. 
They maintain their firmness and flavor even 
after they become very dark. 
Price, pot-grown plants, $1.25 per doz.; per 100, $8.00; 
$75.00 per 1000 
Price, layer plants, 25 for $1.00; $1.50 for 50;

Fall-fruiting Variety 
Mastodon Everbearing Wonder. This is, 
unquestionably, the most prolific of ever- 
bearing varieties. Bears continuously from 
June till frost, the late fruits being as large 
as those of the early crop. Berries are of ex¬ 
cellent quality. Plants should be grown in 
single hills, as it does not do so well in matted 
rows.
