STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Delicious, fine strawberries are easy to grow if you get good plants. Set 
out only strong, freshly dug plants of the best varieties and the rest is 
easy. Merely give them ordinary cultivation to keep the weeds out and 
you will have fine strawberries. 
Our plants are fresh dug and are guaranteed to reach the pur¬ 
chaser in good condition. If any should be damaged on the way we 
will replace them without charge if notified within hvo days after the re¬ 
ceipt of the plants. 
Strawberry plants should be set out in the spring as early as the ground can be 
gotten in good condition. The rows should be 3J^ ft. apart and the plants 12 to 18 
in. apart in the rows. Complete directions for raising strawberries will be found in 
our pamphlet on the “Culture of Vegetables and Flowers” which will be sent free 
with any order if requested. 
Orders for plants will be entered at any time and the plants will be 
sent at the proper time for setting them out. We cannot agree to send 
plants to the Pacific Coast or to the Gulf Coast States as strawberry 
plants cannot be successfully transported so far and we cannot furnish 
them at the time they should be set out in these localities. Write for 
prices on larger lots. We cannot send plants into Canada. 
Two Exceptionally Fine Strawberries 
These two varieties originated a few years ago at the United States 
Department of Agriculture from crosses between Premier and Royal 
Sovereign, and are the most outstanding among the early kinds. They 
are better than either parent and much superior in yield, earliness, size, 
firmness, generally attractive appearance and quality to any early berry 
we have ever seen. 
In vigor of growth and clean healthy appearance of the plants, both 
Dorsett and Fairfax are outstanding. 
OORSETT. The berries are very large and firm, with a most delicious 
flavor. The color is medium red which is maintained for some time, 
making this the best kind for those who want a berry for markets where 
the lighter color sells best. In our trials Dorsett has out-yielded every 
variety except Fairfax and Premier, and the berries were superior in 
size to Premier. Perfect flowers. 
Doz. 40c; 50 Plants $1.00; 100 Plants $1.65 transportation paid. Not 
paid: $10.00 per 1000. 500 at the 1000 rate. 
FAIRFAX. The berries are fully as large as Dorsett, and of the same 
general appearance. There is not much to choose in firmness between 
the two, but Fairfax is darker in color, at the picking stage and gets 
quite dark as they get older. For those who prefer a darker berry we 
recommend the Fairfax. 
In our trials the Fairfax has not only outyielded all other varieties, 
but the berries were greatly superior in size and quality to all except 
Dorsett. Perfect flowers. 
Doz. 40c; 50 Plants $1.00; 100 Plants $1.65 transportation paid. Not 
paid: $10.00 per 1000. 500 at the 1000 rate. 
CLERMONT. Vigorous, Hardy and Productive. This variety origi¬ 
nated at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at 
Geneva from a cross between Premier and Marshall. It is very early, 
ripening with Premier but are of better quality. The berries are large, 
handsome and regular in shape. They are firm and do not bruise 
easily. The plants are more vigorous than most of the old varieties, 
hardy and very productive. We can recommend this variety for local 
and roadside markets and also as a fine home berry. Perfect flowers. 
Doz. 40c; 50 Plants $1.00; 100 Plants $1.65 transportation paid. Not 
paid: 1000 $10.00; 500 at the 1000 rate. 
CULVER. Fine For Home Canning. Originated from the same cross 
as Clermont. This is a very high quality berry. The deep red color 
carried through to the center and sprightly flavor make it a most 
excellent kind for canning. The berries are large, regular and cone 
shaped. They do not stand handling quite as well as Clermont but the 
quality is better, and we recommend them for the home garden. The 
plants are vigorous, productive and healthy. Matures in early mid¬ 
season. Perfect flowers. 
Doz. 40c; 50 Plants $1.00; 100 Plants $1.65 transportation paid. Not 
paid: 1000 $10.00; 500 at the 1000 rate. 
PREMIER. This berry has long been a favorite of the early variety. 
The berries are large, deep bright red all over and are of fine quality. 
They ripen very early and the plants are strong, healthy and extremely 
productive. On account of the large size and handsome appearance the 
Premier berries are always in demand making this variety a most 
profitable one to raise for market and roadside sales. Perfect flowers. 
Doz. 35c; 50 Plants 90c; 100 Plants $1.50 transportation paid. Not 
paid: 1000 Plants $8.00. 500 or more are furnished at the 1000 rate. 
“The plants were in fine condition. I never had finer ones from any firm. 
We were certainly pleased with the Strawberry Plants we got from you last year. They 
are strong and healthy and full of blossoms." Mrs. Herbert E. Bayer, Hagerstown, Md. 
May 26, 1936.

Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
You get a crop the first year! 
These varieties start to produce fruit almost as soon as the plants are 
set out. Plants set out in the Spring commence to bear ripe fruit in August 
and continue to bear until freezing weather. The following year they 
produce a crop in June, the same as the common kinds, and also another 
crop in August and September. 
Note—It is essential to set out Ever- 
bearing kinds early in the spring, so do not 
delay ordering them as they must be set 
early. 
When the plants are first set out the 
flowers should be carefully picked off and 
none allowed to produce fruit until the 
plants have become well established which 
will be six to eight weeks. 
MASTODON. The Largest Ever- 
bearing. The fruit is a rounded 
conical shape, smooth and glossy, 
bright red and very sweet. It is 
more free from acidity than any 
strawberry we know of. The plants 
we offer are strong and vigorous 
and will produce large yields of 
big berries. There have been sev¬ 
eral new Everbearing berries in¬ 
troduced recently, but very few of them are equal to the Mastodon.

GEM. An Early Highly Productive New Everbearing. This new 
everbearing strawberry is an outstanding variety, and is far ahead of all 
other everbearing sorts, with the possible exception of Mastodon. They 
are large in size, very uniform, bright sparkling red, and with a mild 
rich flavor. The berries are firm, stand shipping well, and sell for the 
highest prices in the market The plants are hardy, disease resistant, 
and produce great crops of berries as well as being prolific plant pro¬ 
ducers. We urge you to try some of these fine berries this year.
