J. A. BAUER PLANT COMPANY'S BLUE RIBBON BRAND PLANTS 
Descriptions of Varieties^ 
Excelsior, Per. —The very earliest berry 
grown and one which is a fine berry for 
home use. They make a nice, dark red 
berry which makes the finest of jelly and 
preserves of any berry grown. We advise 
all to plant at least some of this grand old 
variety. * 
Thompson, Per. —The old Lady Thomp¬ 
son, improved over the old variety. This 
variety is firmer; is a good fruiter and will 
carry well any place. A good plant maker, 
will stand hot dry summers well. Season is 
about a week later than Excelsior and the 
Excelsior comes on right after the last frost. 
They can’t be ’earlier than the Excelsior. 
This Thompson variety does well all over 
the southwest. 
Missionary, Per. —This berry is the lead¬ 
ing sort for the south. They grow them 
with success in Florida, Alabama, and 
South Texas, and we fill all orders to mil¬ 
lion lots and advise the planting of them 
in the above states. Season second early; a 
good selling berry. 
Imp. Klondike, Per .—A good all around 
berry. The one we sell more plants of 
than any other variety of its season. We 
can furnish them in any amounts wanted. 
We guarantee satisfaction on all your or¬ 
ders for this grand berry. I introduced 
this berry and know it to be a good berry. 
Try them. 
Dunlap, Per .—This variety does well in 
the northern and western states. We don’t 
like them for the south as they are not as 
good as others of the same season in this 
section. We have the pure stock them; 
we can fill all orders. 
Aroma, Per. —This berry, for its season, 
sells more than any of the later varieties. 
We sell more of them each year than all 
other kinds combined, for late fruiting. We 
have plenty of the best plants and can fill 
air orders; large or small. Hope to have 
your Aroma orders. 
Champion K., Per .—A new early berry; 
large size; very productive and a good 
shipper; they will pay to plant. 
St. Louis, Per —The best early berry 
grown today for home and nearby markets; 
we know of no better berry to grow than 
the St. Louis; yield is greater than any 
variety we have ever grown for any season 
of the year. You can make 400 crates per 
acre from the St. Louis. Don’t fail to plant 
them. Originated and introduced by me. 
Premier, Per .—A berry grown with suc¬ 
cess in the east and north; not so good for 
the south. 
Dor sett. Per .—This new variety originat¬ 
ed by U. S. Department of Agriculture. K 
is a scientific cross between the Premier 
and the Royal Sovereign, an English variety. 
Dorsett is one of the firmest berries known, 
and one of the heaviest producers, having 
produced at the rate of 6,640 quarts pe^ 
acre in the c-ast. Color of fruit is light red 
and will hold this color long after picking. 
Dorsett berries- average very large in size, 
even a little larger than the Premier. A fine 
variety for all sections. 
Bellmar, Per. —This is a U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture origination that will 
sure please you. This berry will fruit more 
than the old Klondike which is a favorite 
in your state. The berries are a glossy 
bright red, cupped like the Premier, giving 
an effective appearance. These berries are 
extra large in size making the most at:rac- 
tive appearance available..^We sincerely rec¬ 
ommend this variety to you. Try a few 
thousand plants and see for vourself. 
Fairfax, Per .—Another U. S. Department 
of Agriculture origination. A very produc¬ 
tive berry averaging very large in size and 
fully as firm as the Blakemore. This makes 
it a fine shipping berry. The color is light 
red with very green hull. By all means try 
some of this new variety.
