Strawberry Plants Productive - Dependable 
A liberal planting of Buntings’ high-quality Straw¬ 
berry plants will produce sufficient berries for the fam¬ 
ily and many “extras” for roadside or local markets. 
Buntings’ bay-shore-grown Strawberry plants are true- 
to-name and free from disease and insects. The best 
of soil, located on bay-shore property, within 2 miles 
of the great Atlantic Ocean, is selected on which to 
grow the plants, which are excelled by none other 
grown anywhere in this country. 
HEFLIN’S EARLY. This variety is extremely produc¬ 
tive. Very good for table use or nearby markets. 
One of the earliest to ripen. Hardly firm enough to 
ship long distances. 
MARSHALL. (Imperfect). Fruit extremely large, 
bright red. Plants large, healthy, bright green in 
color; not as prolific as some other varieties but size 
of berries makes the baskets easy to fill. Extensively 
planted in the North. 
PARSONS’ BEAUTY. (Perfect). Midseason. One 
that may be depended upon to produce a large crop 
of fruit every season. The plants are splendid grow¬ 
ers, without any sign of disease. Grows well on any 
soil that will produce Strawberries. The fruit is large, 
conical, uniform in shape, dark red, and fair quality. 
A strong pollenizer and a good one to plant with 
imperfect blooming varieties, 
PROGRESSIVE. (Perfect), A wonderful fall-bearing 
Strawberry and considered the best by many growers. 
The spring-set plants not only produce a big crop 
of berries the same season, but the runner plants be¬ 
gin to bear fruit as soon as set, and quite often you 
will find a runner plant full of blossoms and berries 
before it has made any roots. 
RED GOLD. (Perfect). Early. Originated in the 
West, but grown successfully everywhere. Ripens 
earlier than Premier and produces extra large, bril¬ 
liant red berries with tender flesh and sweet, melting 
flavor. A fancy table berry. 
RIDGELY. (Perfect) . A cross between Premier and 
Gandy. Ripens early midseason. Fruit firm, large size. 
Excellent shipper. Very good. 
RYCKMAN. Same as New York. 
SAMPLE. (Imperfect). Medium late. Extensively 
planted throughout the entire northern, middle and 
western states; is not worth planting south of Vir¬ 
ginia on account of rust. Fruit is large arid well 
made up, firm enough for long distance shipments. 
WAYZATA. Berries are extra large in size, very dark 
red, with a much better flavor than that of the other 
Fallbearers. The fruit is quite firm and very attractive. 
A very poor plantmaker; seldom does the mother 
plant produce more than one or two runners a season. 
For this reason, the plants will always sell at a pre¬ 
mium. Due to this habit of growth, the plants should 
be set rather close in the row, which will result in 
your obtaining a large crop of berries from a small 
area. Wayzata comes into bearing earlier in the sum¬ 
mer than the other Fallbearers; a very prolific bearer. 
READ WHAT MR. SINK SAYS 
Clayton, New Jersey, 
August 12, 1937. 
The Strawberry Plants you sent me last spring are the best I’ve 
ever had. The Mastodons are bearing, and the other varieties are 
bedding fine. Thanks for extra plants and your good service. Will 
you please send me your catalog of trees and shrubs?

An illustration of one of our fields of Mastodon Strawberry plants from a planting made in the spring of 1937, photographed Novem¬ 
ber 4, 1937. Note the number of plants made by setting them in rows 4' apart with plants set 18" apart in the row. This is con¬ 
clusive evidence of the fertility in our select soil, which, in connection with a select strain of plants, results in about double the plant 
growth and fruit as compared with ordinary or more inferior grades of soil for Strawberries. It costs us extra money to produce plants 
of this type. However, we are many times repaid by the increased business coming to us each year from our customers who make a 
success by setting Buntings’ plants.
