SPRING BEARING STRAWBERRIES 
DUNLAP ■ DORSET! THE BIG FOUR FAIRFAX RED GOLD 
GURNEY'S DUNLAP 
Even with the introduction of the 
Everbearing Strawberry there is still a 
place for the old standard one crop per 
year strawberry. The Dunlap is abso¬ 
lutely the best. It is a self-fertilizer, fine 
quality berry, yields abundantly, and is 
a good shipper. 
j We grow a great many varieties of the 
old standard strawberries, but we con- 
i sider the Dunlap the best of any for all 
purposes. 
The past few years has taught us all 
, that the plants which have served us for 
half a century should not be pushed 
lightly aside by new varieties no matter 
how good they seem. Senator Dunlap 
has been a leading June-bearing variety 
for over 50 years. Thru drouth, hardship 
and competition it has held up as the 
most reliable of them all. Set a good 
plantation of Dunlap’s this year. You’ll 
find them Profitable.

RED GOLD (SUGAR 
SAVER) STRAWBERRIES 
We are always on the lookout for 
something better. As new varieties ap¬ 
pear we try them out and when we find 
something that is better than anything 
else in our gardens we offer it to our 
customers with our recommendation. 
But before putting Gurney’s recommen¬ 
dations on a variety it must prove to us 
that it really is better not only in quality 
but in size, bearing, hardiness, ease of 
growing and every other point that makes 
it a desirable variety for you to raise. 
If nothing more were said of this new 
strawberry, than that it requires only 
half as much sugar in canning as any 
other variety, you would be interested 
enough to try them out. You would 
want to be shown, and rightly so. But 
we are going to say more than that. It 
has the flavor of the wild strawberry. 
Berries often measure inches around 
with as high as 43 berries to a stem and 
eleven stems to the plant. The stems are 
sturdy and stand up well away from the 
ground, making picking a pleasure. 
Another good feature is their long 
fruiting time, starting early and con¬ 
tinuing long after other varieties are 
gone. Setting Red Gold is almost like 
having your strawberry crop insured, for 
it’s almost impossible to have the crop 
ruined by late freezes or wet weather. 
Wet weather will prevent fertilization of 
other varieties but the long season of 
Red Gold avoids this possibility. 
Plant Red Gold this year. You willnever 
regret it. It is large, solid, a good bearer, 
has strong stems and is a Sugar Saver.

THE DORSETT 
This is a new June-bearing variety in¬ 
troduced in 1932. It has the unusual 
characteristic of holding most of its fruit 
off the ground. The color of the fruit is a 
very bright red and it does not become 
dark when overripe. The flesh is pinkish- 
red and quite firm. 
The Dorsett Strawberry is described 
as to flavor as “mildly subacid.” It is in 
other words, of excellent quality and we 
recommend the Dorsett to you as one of 
the best of the June-bearing varieties.

THE FAIRFAX 
This new variety had its origin about 
1930 and has been growing in popularity 
ever since. It is a heavy producer of 
excellent quality berries. The flower 
stalks are strong and upstanding. It 
probably produces more fruit per plant 
than any other of the June-bearing va¬ 
rieties. Its bright red color and uniform 
shape makes it a mighty good commer¬ 
cial variety. It has a handsome appear¬ 
ance and stands long distance ship¬ 
ments. You should try out at least a 
hundred of the Fairfax and the Dorsett.

Instructions for Planting and Care of Strawberries 
Plant Strawberries i 
We sell millions of strawberries each 
year, and they go to all sections of the 
United States. We often ship them across 
the continent and have them reach their 
destination in perfect condition. We dig, 
pack and ship fresh every day, so they leave 
in the best possible condition. We want 
them to reach the customer fresh and 
green. In handling thousands upon thou¬ 
sands of growing plants there is always the 
possibility that some will be overheated in 
transit. When that happens we want you 
to notify us at once. However, more straw¬ 
berries are killed after they are received 
by the planters than in any other way. 
They appear to be a trifle dry and they 
are immediately soaked. The crown of a 
strawberry plant should never be wet 
before planting, as it will rot in a few hours. 
Each plant has a number of fine roots, have 
your ground in excellent condition, force

the flat hand into this mellow ground, 
withdraw the hand, leaving a hole an inch 
by about 4 inches and about 4 or 5 inches 
deep. Take the other hand, spread the 
roots of the plant out fanshaped, the crown 
to be just even with the top of the ground 
when the dirt is packed firmly against the 
plant. Plant them from 1 foot to 18 inches 
apart in the row and the rows 4 feet apart. 
During the growing season they will throw 
out a number of runners that set new 
plants. Train these to stay close to the 
original plant, not allowing it to become 
more than a foot wide. In the fall, when 
the ground freezes, cover the plant to a 
depth of about one or two inches with 
straw or hay. Straw is best, as you can 
rake it in among the plants in the spring 
and allow it to remain there. This keeps 
the fruit off the ground and clean always. 
Above all, order early.
