Blakemore. The behavior of this va* 
riety during the extreme trying sea' 
son of 1936 placed it in the lead on 
our grounds. It produced a fair crop 
of fruit when other varieties in the 
same field were nearly a failure. The 
plant is a strong, vigorous, healthy 
grower producing plenty of runners. 
The fruit is good size, regular shape, 
bright red, very firm and of fair quab 
ity. For home use, let them stay on 
the vines a day or two after they turn 
red. They color well before thor' 
oughly ripe. 
A bed of Strawberries takes up little room in the home garden and requires 
little care. This room and care is well paid for in the delicious fruit. What can 
be more enjoyable than a breakfast dish of delicious, fulhflavored Strawberries, 
cool and fresh picked from the home garden? Plant a selection of early and 
late varieties, with some of the everbearing kinds for fall use. 
Aroma. (Per.). Plant shows no weakness of any kind. Fruit very large, 
roundish conical, rarely misshapen, glossy red, of excellent quality and pro' 
duced in abundance. One of the most profitable late varieties that we grow. 
It produces twice as much as Gandy. 
Dr. Burrill. (Per.). The originator claims for this that it is better in every 
way than the Senator Dunlap. We find it very much like this standard sort. 
Possibly the plant and foliage is a little larger than the Dunlap. The fruit 
is quite similar in size and appearance, possibly a little lighter in color. 
We feel certain that it is a good variety and you will make no mistake in 
planting it. 
Dorsett. This new variety is very promising. The plant is strong, vigorous, 
and healthy. The fruit is large, bright red, and of good quality, and is 
worthy of trial. This and the Fairfax are of the same parentage. 
Dunlap. (Per.). This variety is popular in the North, East, South, and West. 
Plant medium size, healthy, vigorous and productive. Fruit is medium to 
large in size, bright red, firm, regular in shape and of fine quality. Excellent 
for table, market and canning. Midseason. We consider it the best all' 
around Strawberry. 
Fairfax. This and the Dorsett are a good pair. Makes plenty of plants for a 
good row. Foliage large, healthy, and dark green. Fruit is large and when 
fully ripe, dark red and of excellent quality. Both the Fairfax and Dorsett 
were originated and introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
Premier. (Per.). Extra early. Plant large, vigorous grower. Berries are large, 
uniform in shape and of good quality. 
Warfield. (Imp.). One of the oldest varieties in cultivation, and still very 
popular in many localities. Plant rather small but very hardy, vigorous 
and productive. Fruit is firm, uniform in size and shape. Its rich, deep 
color makes it ideal for canning or market. We recommend either the 
Dunlap or Dr. Burrill to plant with this as a fertilizer.
