slight neck in the smaller berry which shows its Warfield parentage. The 
large hull that is always bright and green though the berries are on exhibition 
many days. It is the easiest berry to hull we have ever grown, unless it is 
equaled by a new berry here, not yet introduced. This in itself would seem a 
small matter to some, but all these points have a bearing, and the berries surely 
are in wonderful demand. They satisfy the buyer in more ways than one. It 
is not only one of the easiest to prepare for the table or for canning, but is 
pleasing to the eye and of the highest quality. The proof of popularity of any 
sort, is the way people buy it and come again demanding that particular variety. 
T. he Mary strawberry introduced several years ago with a great flourish was 
large and handsome, crated. But, Oh! so sour. The people bought it once, and 
that was the end of it. Size and beauty count, but there must be some other 
merit. The Dunlap has the size, not the largest, but large enough. It depends 
on how it is grown as with any other sort, and every berry is a perfect fruit. 
The Dunlap is the great commercial berry of to-day, more extensively grown, 
most popular on the market, and highly profitable for the grower. It is reliable. 
The plant is tough and hardy, vigorous and healthy, of medium size, but with 
very large roots. The foliage is luxuriant and tall, protecting the early bloom 
from frost and the berries from sun scalding. See page 3 for picking scene in 
our Dunlap patch, photographed last June. These berries yielded 300 bushels 
per acre after digging several thousand plants here in spring. Though grown 
in ordinary matted rows at smallest possible expense the berries averaged as 
large or larger than our illustration and there was not a cull berry in the lot; 
each shipment selling at the highest prices paid. What would have been the 
result with higher culture is easily imagined. We like the Dunlap in every 
situation and from every point of view. We sell more plants of this than of 
any other variety, but shall grow it largely as possible for our own fruiting as 
well. In thickly matted rows it is medium early to quite late, but in hills or 
thinly set rows it is quite early. It has a perfect bloom and may be grown in 
solid acres, insuring a supply throughout the season. 
Send us all the Dunlaps you can to-morrow, is the word, and we hope to 
have a larger acreage in future. 
Price of plants for 1905. Per thousand, $2.75; five thousand for $12.50; ten 
thousand for $22.50; twenty thousand or more. $2.00 per 1,000.
