Strawberries 
Early Varieties 
BLAKEMORE. Extra early, ripening 4 
or 5 days before Premier. Introduced 
by U. S. Department of Agriculture. A 
cross between Premier and Missionary. 
Berries are bright red and resemble 
Premier. 
DORSETT. Berries are very firm—firmer 
than the Premier—and are a beautiful 
light red in color, holding their color, 
and for this reason, together with their 
attractive shape and extra fine quality, 
will undoubtedly become the leading 
commercial variety. Developed and 
introduced by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture. Ripens with Premier but 
is more prolific. 
Dorsett —New Sensation 
FAIRFAX. Exceptionally firm, bright 
red, early berry which can be left on 
vine several days after ripening. Fair¬ 
fax was produced and introduced by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture, along 
with Dorsett, both of which have met 
with a warm reception with berry grow¬ 
ers wherever tested. Ripens with Pre¬ 
mier but over a longer period. 
KLONDYKE. Dark red berries, uniform 
in shape and size, mild and delicious. 
PREMIER. Leading early berry. Pre¬ 
mier is as nearly frostproof as any 
Strawberry can be. It is unusually 
healthy, being free from leaf spot and 
other diseases. Large, bright red, firm 
berries of fine texture and flavor. 
HOW TO PLANT STRAW¬ 
BERRIES —Spring is the best 
time to set Strawberries in this 
latitude. They will succeed in 
any good soil. Plow or spade 
land deeply before planting. 
Use spade for planting, pushing 
it in to full depth where plant 
wil 1 set. Press to one side, insert 
root and spread out fan shape 
and hanging down full length 
{see illustration ). Remove spade 
and press dirt around roots by 
pressing with foot on each side 
of plant. Leave loose soil around 
plants. Set plants 18 to 24 TOO DEEP TOO SHALLOW JUST RIGHT 
inches apart in rows 3)4 to 4 
feet apart. Train runners lengthwise, allowing new sets to root 5 or 6 inches apart. As soon as 
ground freezes cover lightly with hay or straw and remove just enough in the Spring to allow plants 
to come up. 
WHEN TO PLANT —We occasionally have inquiries for plants to be delivered in August or 
September, just when the old plants are sending out runners, making new plants. It would not 
be to either your or our interest for us to sell you old plants. We recommend Spring planting but if 
you insist, we will make delivery in the Fall just as soon as new plants mature—not earlier than 
October 15th. 
Mid-Season and Late 
Varieties 
AROMA. This well known sort is more 
largely planted as a commercial berry, 
and it has been one of our best sellers. 
BIG JOE (JOE JOHNSON). A mid¬ 
season to late variety. Has good size, 
fine flavor and color. Berry is firm 
and yields well. 
Everbearing 
Strawberries 
GEM. See page 17. 
MASTODON. Up until the Gem was in¬ 
troduced, was the most extensively 
planted and most popular Everbearer. 
For the benefit of those who insist on 
planting the Mastodon, we still grow 
them, but we have found Gem such a 
tremendouse improvement over all 
other Everbearing varieties that we 
recommend the Gem exclusively. 
NUT TREES Bring Profitable Crops 
Two English Walnuts Pay Taxes on a 50 Acre Farm 
That is a pretty good income from two trees and we believe it makes Nut tree planting well worthwhile. 
There are plenty of waste spaces which can be put to work growing Nut trees. 
WALNUTS 
BLACK WALNUT. Until the past few years no one here thought of planting Black 
Walnuts as there were plenty of them growing wild, there was no demand for the 
nuts and the wood was of little value. However, the nuts have now become very 
profitable and growing them for the wood would be a very profitable investment. 
Planters are now beginning to plant groves of Black Walnuts. 
ENGLISH WALNUT. This has never been commercially planted in Virginia, although 
we have found trees scattered about all over the state which are bearing prolifically, 
and the nuts are of as good quality as can be found anywhere in the United States. 
Planters are becoming more inter¬ 
ested in this profitable variety, for 
in one instance two trees on a 50- 
acre farm near Waynesboro have 
paid all the farm taxes for the past 
ten years. The English Walnut 
bears as early as an Apple, and re¬ 
quires very little attention. Order 
your trees this year and get your 
share of profits from these English 
Walnuts. 
VIRGINIA FAVORITE Thorough¬ 
ly adapted to this section and very 
reliable grower. The nfit is medium 
size with very thin shell, blooms 
late and is seldom injured by frost. 
BUTTERNUT (or WHITE WALNUT). 
Native tree which produces a large nut 
with a sweet, oily, nutritious kernel. 
JAPANESE WALNUTS. Are rank, vig¬ 
orous growers and begin bearing from 
three to five years. Nuts are pointed, 
and have reasonably thin hulls. 
PECANS 
Pecans have not proven as profitable 
here as the English Walnuts, but the 
Stuart variety has given satisfactory 
results. We offer both the Stuart and the 
Seedling from Selected Seed. 
STUART. Most extensively planted 
Pecan because it can be successfully 
grown most anywhere. Bears young, 
nuts are large, oblong, thin shell anid 
of the best quality. 
SELECTED SEEDLINGS. Are grown 
from choice varieties that have a tend¬ 
ency to reproduce. In many cases they 
are just as good as the budded trees.
