BAKER NURSERIES 
If you wish to use fertilizer do it in early May and September. We 
plant about 7,000 plants to the acre. In Southern Texas they use 
what is called the double hedge row, using from 20,000 to 40,000 
plants per acre. 
STRAWBERRIES 
KLONDIKE (Per.).-—If there is a better berry than this variety, 
the people have not found it out. This variety is, without a doubt, 
more extensively planted than any other one, especially throughout the 
South. Plants are very hardy, and will withstand the dry, hot weather 
as well as any. We have more than twenty-five acres in this variety 
alone, and would be glad to have you figure with us on large orders. 
We are in position to fill your order, large or small, and at the same 
time, with good plants that will please you. 
AROMA (Per.).—-A very late and very popular berry in all sections. 
We have not yet found a late berry that has the demand this one has. 
While we believe that there are some of the new varieties that are its 
equal, it does well both North and South. Many of the growers here 
as well as elsewhere will grow no other variety for a late berry. The 
berry is very firm, and you will find none that will stand shipping bet¬ 
ter than this variety. 
MISSIONARY (Per.).—It was thought by many that this variety 
would take the place of Klondike, but we do not see it that way. 
Fruit is medium size and very firm, resembling the Aroma in shape 
and color, while the berry is not as large. A good plant maker, and 
free from rust. Season same as Klondike. 
EXCELSIOR (Per.).—An old variety that leads them all for earli¬ 
ness; and one that has stood the test for more than twenty years. 
Berries are of a dark red color, medium in size. Plant growth good. 
SENATOR DUNLAP (Per.)—A favorite with most Northern 
growers, and is well known wherever strawberries are grown. It is a 
great plant maker, and for this reason should not be planted too close 
together, as plants will become too thick. Fruit is a bright red, good 
shipper, and excellent quality. Mid-season. 
GANDY (Per.).—Originated by Mr. Gandy, of Pennsylvania, 
more than thirty years ago, and is yet being planted extensively. This 
variety does better when planted with some other late berry. Aroma 
is a good variety to plant with them. 
PROGRESSIVE EVERBEARING (Per.)—A genuine fall bearing, 
and one that is hard to beat. The fruit is dark red, medium size, 
and the flavor is unsurpassed. To obtain the best results, keep the 
blossoms off until the last of July, then when they begin to ripen, 
you will have something you will be proud of. The runner plants 
often begin fruiting before the plants make any roots at all. You 
will not be disappointed with this variety. We have a large supply of 
these plants. 
MASTODON EVERBEARING (Per.).—This description is cop¬ 
ied from a Michigan nurseryman: 
"Unlike other Everbearers, the plants of the Mastodon are large, 
vigorous, heavily crowned, and deep rooted. This explains their ability 
to produce enormous loads of fine fruit. Every plant produces heav¬ 
ily; also the runner plants; in fact, it is a true everbearer, and the only 
one that will produce a paying crop of berries the same season it is 
planted.” 
BLAKEMORE (Per.).-—Early, acclaimed by many to be the finest 
strawberry ever introduced by the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture. We find them very productive, almost twice as productive as 
Klondike or Missionary. Very firm, will keep for days.
