STRAWBERRIES 
Special care should be taken in the preparation 
of the soil before the plants are set. The straw¬ 
berry has a comparatively shallow root system. 
For this reason moist soil is necessary when the 
plants are set. We make every effort to send 
strawberry plants out in the best of condition. 
June Bearing Varieties 
BEAVER—A berry quite similar to Premier, but 
sets plants a little heavier. Ripens very early. 
PREMIER—Plants grow large and are wonder¬ 
fully productive. The berries are large and of a 
beautiful glossy red color. We have never found 
so many good qualities in an early berry. 
FAIRFAX—The Fairfax ripens about the same 
season as Dorsett and Premier. Fruit is very 
large and uniform. Plant is a vigorous grower 
and deeply rooted which enables it to with¬ 
stand adverse weather conditions and still yield 
fairly good. We strongly advise at least a small 
planting of Fairfax for trial. 
Everbearing 
Everbearing Strawberries will provide luscious 
fruit throughout the Summer and early Fall, and 
we urge you to plant at least some of these 
varieties. 
SENATOR DUNLAP—Undoubtedly our most 
dependable June bearing variety. Ripens early, 
fruit is large and of good quality. Plants are ex¬ 
ceptionally thrifty. 
DORSETT—A very early berry of rich, bright 
red, retaining its color well after picking. An 
ideal berry for market or home use. A vigorous, 
growing, heavily productive variety. Quality is 
of the best. 
PROGRESSIVE—A well-known standard va¬ 
riety, very productive, fruit medium in size, 
high quality. 
MASTODON—We have tried out many varie¬ 
ties of Everbearing strawberries and have 
found Mastodon the best. It is a large strong 
plant which does well on any soil type. The 
fruit is large and high in quality. It is a variety 
we recommend as being superior to any other 
everbearer for commercial or home planting. 
WAYZATA—A recent introduction which has 
become very popular. Fruit is very large and a 
heavy yielder. Plants are very vigorous.
