The 
Strawberries 
every home 
should have 
All healthy and 
hardy plants 
For field culture plant in rows, the rows 3 feet apart, and from 
12 to 15 inches apart in the row. In the home garden plant 
15 inches apart each way. Please order your strawberry plants 
early, they do better when planted early in the spring. Later 
on in the spring when the weather gets warm thy are not so 
easy to ship. My plants are all young stock, no old and woody 
roots. They come in bundles of 25 plants, and not less than 
that number of any variety is shipped out. 
All Summer and Fall You Can Have 
Fresh Berries from my 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
JUNE-BEARING VARIETIES 
These are the varieties that bear once, very large fruited, and 
will make the general strawberry crop for canning. They are 
easy to grow and produce heavily. Plant new stock this year; 
it will pay you well. 
Sonderegger’s Premier fiawbeTr”Xs 0 'b y l‘” l u, 
strong demand. It is a very satisfactory plant, in quality and 
productiveness about the same as the Blakemore, and ripens 
just a few days after the Blakemore. For a long and uninter¬ 
rupted bearing season you should have some plants of ever> 
variety. 
Arnmn This is the strawberry I recommend for a late crop. 
Dllid n ripens after Senator Dunlap. Market gardeners 
favor this variety for late picking, as it is a good shipper. 
Aroma does well in the Middle West. 
Price of Aroma and Sonderegger’s Premier, 25 for 35c; 50 for 
50c; 100 for 80c; 500 for $3.50; all prepaid. 
SENATOR DUNLAP 
Ever-Popular Midseason Strawberry 
TVTfl sjtnHnn ■* have tried other varieties, but Mastodon and 
XTXctobUU.DIl Champion have done best, and I am not willing 
to recommend others that have not shown up so good. In 
Mastodon and Champion you make no mistake, with a little 
watering during dry weather they will will bear well, and bring 
you a nice crop of medium sized berries, especially in the fall. 
The berry of the Mastodon runs just a little larger than that 
of Champion. But I think Champion bears just a little heavier. 
Phanminr f avor owing to its great productiveness. I 
vaiailipiun p nc j that it brings more berries, especially in 
the fall, than Mastodon, but the berries seem to be a little 
smaller than the Mastodon. For home use Champion is extra 
good, has a very fine flavor and withstands the weather here 
better than most strawberries. For market use the Mastodon 
may bring you a better price, owing to the larger size. Price 
of Champion and Mastodon: 25 plants for 45c; 50 for 80c; 100 
for $1.35; 500 for $5.50; postpaid.

Gem—New Everbearing SS" 1 h£? B tZ b] $e£a ur o} 
trials, that the Gem will promise to be successful in the Middle 
West, I am offering it to my customers. Gem is a good pro¬ 
ducer, the berries are pretty even in size all through the bear¬ 
ing season, they seem to color up better than Mastodon. The 
quality of the berry is in every respect as good as Mastodon. 
I advise you to make part of your Everbearing planting of this 
variety. Price of Gem: 25 plants, 65c; 50 for $1.00; 100 for 
$1.65; 500 for $7.80, postpaid. 
Plant this berry for the main crop. A bed of these plants 
will fill those quart jars for you which you emptied through 
the winter. Make Dunlap the main part of your planting, 
you won’t go wrong. Special Anniversary price for Senator 
Dunlap: 50 plants, 40c; 100 plants, 69c; 1,000 plants, $5.00; 
prepaid. 
Planting 
Instructions 
Cover your strawber¬ 
ry bed over winter. 
Spread coarse 
branches of trees 
over the bed in late 
fall. After ground is 
frozen, put straw, 
coarse manure or 
leaves over the 
branches. The latter 
are to keep an air¬ 
space between plants 
and covering mate¬ 
rial. 
Dorsett 
This variety 
and Fairfax 
have been on the market 
only a few years. My plants 
are true to name. Dorsett 
and Fairfax are claimed to 
be more productive than 
Premier, and they ripen the 
same time. I recommend 
that you try Dorsett and 
Fairfax, I believe that they 
are well worth the differ¬ 
ence in price. 
'FoiT’fav Ripening with 
XctlllctA. Premier, this 
seems to be even more pro¬ 
ductive than Premier. Dor¬ 
sett also ripens at that 
time. Fairfax and Dorsett 
are both of excellent quality, 
the fruit evenly colored deep 
red makes them very desir¬ 
able for home use and mar¬ 
ket. Prices of Dorsett and 
Fairfax: 25 plants, 50c; 50 
plants, 85c; 100 plants, $1.25: 
500 plants, $5.00, postpaid.
