JOSEPH BRACK, SON & CO. 
STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Our list is short and best suited varieties for this section. They are our own 
grown and fresh dug every day. We have no very late varieties as our seasons 
seldom are such as to permit these to be profitable. We do not grow Chesapeake 
because it is such a poor plant maker that the crop per acre is very small. 
Our plants are grown solely for plants. Therefore they are all young plants. 
When plants are dug from the middles of fruiting beds, all the best plants 
are left for fruiting and you get the poorest. 
This most delicious of all fruits is the most easily grown, costs less to start 
and grow and gives the quickest results. 
In a garden they should be planted one foot apart and the rows not closer 
than three feet apart. For market they should be planted one foot or fifteen 
inches apart in the row and we prefer 4 feet but some put them 3 feet, others 354. 
Set 1x3 ft., it takes 14,500 plants per acre; 1x4 ft., 10,900; 15 in. x 3 ft., 
11,600; 1 x 314 ft., 13,850; 15 in. x 354 ft., 9,950; 15 in. x 4 ft., 8,700.

Dorset*.— U. S. Department variety sent out in 1933. A good plant maker, holds 
up the berries well. Fruit is bright red of good quality and firm. 
As a market berry we consider this, after a thorough test, to be the best 
early variety we have ever grown. Another year proves this to be a wonderful 
market berry. 
300 for $1.50; 500 for $2.50; 1,000 for $4.00. 
Fairfax. —Another U. S. Department release of 1933. This variety is the most 
productive, best quality and largest of all early varieties. The color is a rich 
red. It is very firm and stands up well. For home use and nearby market 
it is superior to all others. Plant strong and a good plant maker holding up its 
fruit well, in fact, the strongest and heaviest rooted plant we have ever grown. 
Every one who fruited it last year found it the best early variety they had ever 
grown or seen. 
300 for $1.50; 500 for $2.50; 1,000 for $4.15; 5,000 for $20.00. 
Premier. — A well tested variety of merit 
among early varieties. Until the U. S. 
Department berries came out it was su¬ 
perior to all other early varieties for size, 
color, and firmness and by some is con¬ 
sidered equal to any. 300 for $1.50, 500 for 
$2.00, and 1,000 for $3.75. 
Joe.— (Big Joe.)—No matter what you call 
it, it remains the best of all varieties of 
its season which is midseason to late. Af¬ 
ter thirty years of fruiting it remains at 
the top when all the others that were 
known at that time have been dropped. 
It’s continued success is due to vigor and 
size of plant, firmness, high quality and 
good quality of its berries. For home or 
market it never has had an equal in any 
season. 300 for $1.50, 500 for $2.50, 1,000 
for $4.00, and 5,000 for $18.00. 
Joe Remember that our plants are all fresh 
dug from beds grown solely for plants which are strong and sturdy. 
Improved Success. —There never was an extra variety that pleased the whole 
family as well as old reliable Success. We offer this as equally good in every 
respect and holds its size longer. 
300 for $1.50, 500 for $2.50.
