SOUTH MICHIGAN NURSERY, New Buffalo, Mich 
Bears 60 Days After Plants are Set 
Gem—a direct offspring of the old Progressive Everbearing Strawberry. 
Gem was discovered four years ago by Frank Keplinger of Central 
Michigan. Mr. Keplinger found a single plant growing in his Progressive 
field. This plant was so much better that it was guarded, and planted by 
itself. The Gem berries are above the average in size. 
Gem has a flavor like the Progressive or Champion. Not much sugar 
needed when you eat Gem. 
Firmness—Firmness is what is needed in Strawberries if they are to stand 
shipping. Gem has this firmness. Next to Wayzata they are the most firm 
Strawberry we have ever grown. 
Disease Resistant—We fail to find any disease on Gem. 
Productive—We find them to be as productive as the Pro- 
gressive or Champion. They are, however, much larger in size. 
Flave only a limited supply of plants to offer. Order early.

CHAMPION 
EMPIRE 
EXCELSIOR 
Everbearer 
Champion, without doubt, is one of the best 
everbearing Strawberries grown. It is the most 
prolific of all. When you plant Champion you are 
certain of success because three months after plant' 
ing every plant will commence bearing, and con- 
tinue all through the summer and late in the fall. 
The runners will commence to bear, even before 
they have taken root. 
We grow several acres every year for fruit, and 
we know what we are talking about. Make sure 
that you get the genuine Champion. Order from 
us. We obtained our stock direct from the origin- 
ator. 25 plants, 60c; 50 plants, 85c; 75 plants,

ALL RED 
This new everbearing strawberry came from west¬ 
ern Canada, direct to us from the originator. The 
originator made large claims for it, but we see no 
difference between it and the Bitter Root Everbearer. 
The berries are fine flavor, all red and good size.

Everbearer 
Excelsior Everbearer is another everbearing straw¬ 
berry that was called to our attention from a grow¬ 
er in Minnesota. Huge claims were made for it 
out there, but with us it did not do so well the 
first year. Very productive, berries medium, good 
quality, but berries lay on the ground and get 
sandy. Must be mulched for best results. 25 plants, 
#1.00; 50 plants, #1.75; 75 plants, #2.50; 100 
plants; #3.25; 200 plants, #6.00; less discounts.
