BEAUTY. Mid-season. Large vigorous plants; beautiful large berries as 
its name implies. Perhaps better for home market than for shipping long 
distances. 
FRUITLAND. Large perfect berries; a good shipper. In 1934 it produced 
more marketable berries than any other variety we fruited. Fruitland has 
never failed to do fine for us. 
CATSKILL (Perfect). A mid-season berry like Big Joe, only larger and more 
productive. Seems to be as sure a cropper as Premier. Originated at the 
Geneva, N. Y. Experiment Station. Seems to be adapted to all sections. 
GANDY (Perfect). Late to very late. If you want a late berry or a berry 
for springy ground, plant gandy. They nearly always bring the top prices 
on our markets. The berries are so large, firm and beautiful, and they 
arrive in the market in the best of condition. 
SEN. DUNLAP or BURRILL (Perfect). An old favorite in the North. One 
of the easiest berries to grow and in many places a very profitable berry 
for all purposes. 
LUPTON. A beautiful large, late shipping berry. I cannot say it is of high 
quality but the berries are so pretty and firm that they sell well in our 
shipping markets. 
CHESAPEAKE. What applies to Lupton will describe this magnificent 
berry. I know of no more beautiful, late shipping berry. Plant early on 
good ground and you will be pleased, I am sure. 
IVEastodon 
(Perfect). If there is one best Everbearing strawberry 
it is mastodon. It has beauty, size and color. Down here 
it will produce a very large crop the spring after planting, and will bear con¬ 
tinually the summer panted if allowed to do so. They are always large, and 
of very good quality. If I wanted berries for home use I would certainly 
try the Everbearers. 
Lucky Strike 
A little smaller than Mastodon, a fair 
good plant maker on good rich soil. Here they 
are a better fall producer than Mastodon, and the spring season is as long as 
any berry I am acquainted with. 
V® (Perfect). Of high quality, but they are so small 
* " ''o' vaaiVL and the 0 ther Everbearers are so much better that 
I would not suggest planting Progressive unless wanting small high quality 
berries, and then I doubt if Wayzata is not of as high quality and three times 
the size. 
OSHl (P ei ’f ec ^)* A New Everbearer. Larger than Lucky Strike and 
a better fall bearr than Mastodon. We were much pleased with 
Gem this past season. If you will keep the plants free of weeds and cultivate 
well you wil find for hom use the most profitable. 
(Perfect)* Another New Everbearer from the West. Finest 
wwdjf&caLea fl avor 0 f a p the Everbearrs- claimed to equal Fairfax. A 
Long Island grower reports a yield of over two quarts per plant. Wayzata 
is such a persistent bearer that it is a very poor plant maker. One of the 
best to keep in hills. 50c per dozen plants. 
CARE OF PLANTS 
If not ready to plant for a few days, bury the roots in cool, moist ground, 
partially shaded, being careful to firm the ground well so as to come in con¬ 
tact with the roots. When ready to plant puddle the roots well in thin mor¬ 
tar of clay and water and keep from sun and wind while planting. If Straw¬ 
berry plants, be careful not to get water on foliage as it is sure to rot them. 
We suggest you write, U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. for 
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1028 Strawberry Culture, East.
