LaFRANCE FRUIT AND PLANT FARMS 
GREETINGS, 1938 
After one more disastrously dry season, we are issuing this price list. 
We have been growing strawberries fifty-six years in this county, the past 
five have been the worst dry seasons the state has ever experienced. How¬ 
ever, the season of 1937 did not wreck our strawberry field as badly as some 
other seasons. The plants are extra well rooted but not so plentiful, perhaps 
we have one-half a million. However, we must carry on, hoping that 1938 will 
be a much better season. We know one thing that no other crop will prove as 
profitable as strawberries. If you are fixed to irrigate, so much the better. 
Our fields this year were under mulch early. We are confident what plants 
there are will produce a good crop. We are sure we can supply our customers 
with good plants. We are not going to take up much room describing varie¬ 
ties because we have had almost a complete crop failure last year, mostly be¬ 
cause of drouth, grasshoppers did our strawberries very little damage. We 
advise everyone to plant as early as possible, however plants can be safely 
planted until the middle of May, providing you have fairly favorable weather. 
All varieties listed below are perfect bloomers and do not need any other 
varieties planted with them. 
DUNLAP—This is the standard plant and perhaps the best all around 
berry for home use, it is not a good shipper. 
BLAKEMORE—Almost as productive as Dunlap, the berry is firmer, 
plant grows about the same but it has its weakness. « 
BELLMAR—This is a comparatively new berry but a wonderfully fine 
berry. Plant grows good but not equal to some other varieties. 
DORSET—Produces a very large plant with liberal amount of runners, 
withstands the drouth well, not quite as productive as it should be. 
FAIRFAX—Somewhat like Dorset but berries are of extra good quality. 
PREMIER—In many places the standard of productiveness. Produces a 
very large berry, withstands drouth well. 
MASTODON EVERBEARER—Withstands drouth well, but does not make 
many runners. Produces fruit all summer with favorable weather. 
GEM EVERBEARER—Not as hardy a plant as Mastodon. Berries much 
better. 
PRICES OF STRAWBERRY PLANTS—POSTAGE PREPAID.
