STRAWBERRIES 
produce a crop on 
“short notice” 
The drought cut fruit crops very short, and even killed out many of the berry 
patches that used to supply American homes. Many a good housewife thought 
of her fruit cellar in term6 of empty quarts. And fruit will be short on; the 
market for some time to come, until productive fields can be re-established. 
Fortunately the Strawberries offer a most promising solution. You plant a 
bed of them in your garden this spring. The everbearing varieties will make 
you a crop already this summer and fall, and the June bearing will make you a 
crop in a year from now that will fill those empty cans in your cellar. Let my 
plants supply you with the fruit you need. You can trust them, because they 
are strong, well rooted plants with perfect blossoms for heavy bearing, and they 
are true to name. 
June-Bearing Strawberries 
These are of the large-fruited type, bringing one complete crop in June only. I have 
the three most productive varieties: 
PfPmipr Frrrlv ^ P ro ''f> c producer of extra fine fruit. The plant is a vigor- 
iicuuci j-iui i y oug grower, and resists leaf spot and other fungus diseases. 
It does well in most any soil, fruit growers claim that Premier resists drought and 
heat better than most varieties. 25 plants for 35c; 50 for 55c; 100 for 90c; 500 for 
$4.00; prepaid. 
Berries very large, 
aromatic and firm. 
100 for 90c; 500 for $4.00; prepaid. 
Aroma - Late 
bright red to the center. Rich, delicately 
A good shipper. 25 plants for 35c; 50 for 55c; 
Senator Dunlap 
E FAMOUS MIDSEASON STRAWBERRY. A proof of 
. , great popularity of this variety is the fact that over a 
period of ten years I have sold more Senator Dunlap than all other varieties com¬ 
bined. The reasons for this remarkable record are that Senator Dunlap can always 
be depended upon to make a good crop. It is not early enough to get caught in late 
frost, and it ripens before the hot weather sets in which sometimes interferes so 
much with the crop of late varieties. And the quality of the berry is in every respect 
as good as the best. Large, uniform in size and color, simply a wonderful fruit to 
can. 25 plants for 35c; 50 for 50c; 100 for 75c; 300 for $1.90; 500 for $2.90, postpaid. 
Mastodon—Everbearing 
It is a nice berry, of even size. For mar¬ 
ket it is a most profitable plant, because 
during the summer and especially in the 
fall there is always a good demand for 
fresh strawberries and the grower is sure 
of good prices. For the market Mastodon 
is better than Champion, on account of 
its better size; however, for home use I 
prefer Champion. In any normal season 
you can either have fresh berries for a 
long period from these plants, or you can 
make a handsome profit if you have a 
surplus for sale. In times of drought 
nothing would pay, and the dry season 
we have had the last year must not mis¬ 
lead you to give up the work in your 
garden. The progressive and farsighted 
man is going to plant this year. 
Genuine Mastodon Everbearing plants: 
25 plants for 50c; 50 for 90c; 100 for $1.50; 
300 for $4.00, prepaid. 
Champion Everbearing Leering "straw¬ 
berry that bears so continuously. In normal seasons 
there are berries throughout the summer. And as soon 
as the cooler weather of fall sets in Champion can be 
depended upon to furnish a heavy crop. It is true, how¬ 
ever, that the berries are not as large as those of 
Mastodon or Gem, yet they are of nice size. I would 
say medium. The berry is highly flavored, for home 
use it should be planted everywhere. 25 plants for 50c; 
50 plants for 90c; 100 for $1.50; 300 for $4.00; prepaid. 
fT atv) _ Pupvkp/iviMHas just been out three 
Lveroearing years. During this time I 
have tried it in my own growing field as well as in my 
garden. However, the extremely dry and hot summers 
we have had in these three years would not permit pie 
to put this new variety to a fair test. I can only describe 
the plant as the originator states: Gem is a good producer, 
the berries are pretty even in size all through the bearing 
season, they seem to color up better than Mastodon. The 
quality and size of the berry is in every respect as good 
as Mastodon. I advise you to add some of the Gem to 
vour planting. Price: 25 plants for 60c; 50 plants for 
$1.00; 100 for $1.70; 300 for $4.80; prepaid. 
Planting Instructions - . .. . 
Note the picture, and plant your strawberries accordingly. 
The roots well spread out, and in the right depth. Right 
after planting water each plant, never depend just on the 
soil being moist enough, watering settles the ground. 
Plant in rows, the rows in large plantings ZV 2 feet apart, 
in small plantings 12 to 16 inches apart, and space the 
plants in the rows 12 inches apart. This leaves enough 
room for the plant to make runners between the rows, 
and from these runners you get an extra large crop 
next year.
