Small Fruits 95 
DEWBERRY 
XiUcretia. A dwarf or trailing Blackberry equal in every respect 
to any of the tall-growing sorts. Perfectly hardy, healthy and 
remarkably productive, with large, showy flowers. The fruit, 
which ripens early; is often one and one-half inches long by 
one inch in diameter;. soft, sweet and luscious throughout. 
This is one bramble fruit people enjoy picking; reaching down 
among the leaves for the biggest, fattest berry close to the hot 
sand. It is hard to gather a table mess,—for too many just 
naturally pop into the picker’s mouth. 
PRICE: By mail, postpaid,—85c per 10; $4.25 per 100. By 
express or freight,—60c per 10; $3.50 per 100; $25.00 per 1000.

STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberries succeed in any soil adapted to farm or 
garden crops. Soil should be prepared to a good depth, well- 
drained and enriched with vegetable manure (muck, rotten 
turf, wood soil, ashes, etc.). For field culture set rows 3 to 
3^ feet apart, 15 to 18 inches in each row; for garden, 
15 inches apart each way, pathway every third row. For 
large fruit, keep in hills, pinching runners off as they 
appear. Ground should be kept clean and well cultivated. 
In winter cover with leaves, straw or litter. Do not cover 
until ground is frozen, nor so as to smother plants. Re¬ 
move cover before growth starts in spring. Mulching will 
keep fruit clean and soil in good condition. 
Dip in water as soon as received, and bury roots in moist, 
shady ground until ready to set out; do not neglect. 
Did you ever use a row of Strawberry plants to border 
your garden walks ? Not only beautiful in its continuously 
perfect verdure, studded with white flowers or crimson 
fruits, but it is so handy to gather your morning breakfast 
dish—fresh with dew—without wetting your slippers. 
2 Outstanding st v r a a „Te d t e ,L ry 
Dorsett This new eastern introduction has taken the 
— — .- Atlantic berry growers by storm, and is be¬ 
coming one of the most popular and respected in the 
middle west. Its fruiting season is early and profitably 
continuous, yielding bumper crops which bring instant 
market acceptance at the very top price. The berry is 
uniformly large, full, elongated with rounded extremity. 
The color is an attractive pinkish red, unusual flavor’, 
mild sub-acid. It does exceptionally well on heavy soil, 
and surpasses other varieties for sweetness during pro¬ 
tracted rainy season. 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
“Everbearing Strawberries’’ yield fruit contipuously from May 
or June until frost. They are practical croppers, and, coming 
out of ordinary season, bring very profitable prices for market. 
Caution: To obtain the largest size and finest quality of fruit in 
the fall, keep flowers picked off until about the first of July. 
GeiTI The newest important introduction in the “Everbearing” 
— group, and by all reports creates a greater usefulness and 
value to that class. It is credited with bearing within 60 days 
after the normal spring planting ; carrying on during the sum¬ 
mer, with an immense fall crop ending only with the first frosts. 
Sparkling, glossy red fruits uniformly large, that carry and 
keep better than others due to the tough skin and unusual firm¬ 
ness of its flesh. The flavor is fine. Three crops, big ones — 
spring, summer, and fall; what more can you ask of a Straw¬ 
berry ? 
Mastodon For a number of years Mastodon has had a clear 
—— 1 - ~ field, safely outranking all predecessors. Despite 
/pi'boartW 
certain keen recent competition by newer introductions. 
Mastodon remains a top notch everbearer. It is of im¬ 
mense size, an almost incredible cropper, of choice qual¬ 
ity, and the strongest grower ever developed. More 
productive than most June bearers, its fall pickings are 
sufficient from but a few plants, and very profitable.

Fairfax Another new kind which runs with Dorsett; in many 
’ ways similar, but with sufficient differences to warrant 
growing both. It also produces a heavy crop of berries better 
than average size, deeply conical in shape, a more brilliant red 
than Dorsett and of firmer texture; season about the same. 
The flavor is sweetly luscious and creates demand for more. 
The market price for this fine new variety keeps abreast of 
Dorsett—both ahead of the field.
