Strawberries 
Premier 
Premier 
The Premier is one of the most popular varieties that 
fve offer and it well deserves all the praise that can be 
given it, for several reasons: 
1. Premier is the first to ripen. 
2. Fruit large size and deep red color. 
3. Firm flesh and excellent quality. 
4. Heavy yielder and makes thrifty growth. 
5. You can depend on Premier for a good crop when 
other varieties are a failure. 
6 . Foliage is not susceptible to the leaf spot which has 
ruined many strawberry patches. 
We unhesitatingly recommend the Premier for either 
home or commercial planting. 
Gibson 
Strong grower with long roots and abundant foliage, 
exceedingly productive. Berries extra large, choice fla¬ 
vored, dark glossy red clear through; follows Premier. 
Sample (Imp.) 
A standard late sort for both home and market. Large 
dark-colored berries in profusion, of uniform size. Should 
be planted with a “perfect” companion ; never alone. 
Wm. Belt 
Vigorous, thrifty, heavy plant, producing large crops un¬ 
der good common matted row culture. Berries extra long, 
conical, quite uniform in shape, brilliant glossy red.

by a man who is a strawberry specialist, consequently we have 
a wonderful bed of about 175,000 Strawberries to offer to the 
trade. Unless otherwise indicated, all our varieties are perfect- 
flowering or male varieties and need no other variety planted 
* with them for fertilization. Our northern grown plants are 
worth double the plants you see offered.

Senator Dunlap 
SENATOR DUNLAP IS AN OLD STANDARD VAKIETY grown 
for a good many years. This variety has made more crates and more 
dollars for berry growlers than any other one variety. Requires very 
little attention, and beds last for years if you keep the grass out. 
It’s the toughest variety known. Plants are healthy, fast growers, 
and make plants freely. Should be set 24 inches by 36 inches apart in routs. 
Berries very dark red. Wonderful canning berry ; great for preserves. Senator 
Dunlap is sometimes sold under the name of Dr. Burrill. We can see no dif- 
fenece between these two varieties, except the cost of the plants. We are listing 
Senator Dunlap plants at a very reasonable price, and have some fine plants 
to offer. Will not do so well in Southern States. 
Fairfax 
New Dorsett 
Fairfax is the QUALITY berry. It 
is considered by most everyone who 
have tasted them to be by far a bet¬ 
ter flavored berry than Premier, and 
other good flavored berries. FAIR¬ 
FAX like DORSETT, was introduced 
by the United States Department of 
Agriculture, and is supposed to be a cross be¬ 
tween the Premier and the Royal Sovereign. 
The foliage, like that of Dorsett, is of a very 
good quality. Good foliage means a good fruit¬ 
ing berry. 
Fairfax is also a very productive berry, hav¬ 
ing produced at the rate of 5120 quarts per 
acre. The size of the berries averages large. 
They will average with the CHESAPEAKE, 
and that is going some. Fairfax is a little more 
firm than Dorsett, and is fully as firm as Blake- 
more. This makes it a wonderful shipping 
berry. The color of the Fairfax is light red, 
with yellow seeds, and a nice green hull. You 
should by all means 
try some Fairfax this 
spring. 
This new variety was originated by 
the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture. It is a scientific cross between 
the PREMIER and the Royal Sovereign. 
Dorsett is one of the firmest berries 
known, and one of the heaviest pro¬ 
ducers, having produced at the rate of 
6640 quarts per acre in the East. The 
foliage is a very dark green and holds 
this fine color way through the fruiting 
season. Dorsett berries average very 
large in size, even a little larger than 
Premier. Color is of light red, and will 
hold this light red color long after pick¬ 
ing. This probably will be a big factor 
on the wholesale markets as that is what 
the wholesale fruit buyers are looking 
for. Light red berries always appear to 
be in better shape than do dark red ones. 
Try a few of these plants this year.
