PLANTS WE GROW 
BLAKEMORE (Per.) 
Originated with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. After fruiting this wonder¬ 
ful new variety again, we still have plenty of praise for it. We have reports that it did 
not do as well in some sections as it did with us, however, we harvested from our 
Blakemore a fine crop of firm, fancy fruit. The fruit holds up exceptionally good after 
picking. Extra good for canning on account of its firm flesh and solid centers. Good 
plant maker. Don’t make a mistake by not trying Blakemore. 
RELLMAR (Per.) 
After fruiting this variety we do not hesitate to pass along the report that it sure 
did please us and pleased everyone who were fortunate enough to see it in fruit. This 
new sort sure did produce some fine fruit. The only thing that prevented us from plant¬ 
ing this variety heavy for fruiting was shortage of plants. This new variety was orig¬ 
inated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and has the same parentage as 
Blakemore. The fruit is large, dark red and of fine quality. Plants are thrifty and 
make rows just right for fruiting. Our supply of plants is limited. 
GIBSON (Per.) 
Mid-season. This variety is being grown throughout our state very extensively as 
a market berry, because it produces large crops" and is noted for its firmness, making 
it a good shipper. We find it just a little later than Dunlap. The Gibson is a large, 
dark red berry of good quality and flavor. Unlike some other varieties, it holds its size 
throughout the entire season. The plants are large, long rooted and will withstand 
much dry weather. f: . V„ " * : ; .

PREMIER (Per.)

~y,' 
A sure cropper. It has so many good qualities. fh : at it has spread in popular favor 
very rapidly. It has replaced all the old early ^varieties except in the South. It is, 
still recognized as the one early berry that’s hard to beat. 
For hardiness and persistence in producing a good crop every year regardless of 
conditions no variety ranks with the Premier. It is a sure: cropper, and very productive. 
Dorsett and Fairfax will equal Premier in productiveness and might surpass it in 
quality. t ; 
It will produce satisfactory crops under severe conditions. , 
We think growers who raise strawberries regularly should plant Premier for their 
main crop unless others prove superior by actual test. Under favorable conditions 
Premier makes plants enough for a well matted row. It stands with the top-notchers 
in productiveness. 
Berries are a medium red in color, getting quite dark as they get riper and moder¬ 
ately firm. However, they are firm enough to handle in local markets or ship a 
reasonable distance. They rank up well with most of the old standard varieties in 
quality. Fruit large. , 
FAIRFAX (Per.) 
A sister variety to the Dorsett and much like it except the berries are darker red. 
Both of these varieties stay firm for several days after ripening and in quality 
they are the finest of the strawberries. 
Fairfax is also a very productive berry. The berries average large in sizes. Its 
foliage grows high, is free from any leaf spot and holds the berries well off the ground. 
Makes just enough plants for a good fruiting row.
