STRAWBER 
Strawberry Varieties 
PREMIER 
No strawberry has ever been so deservedly popular. It is per¬ 
fect flowering, a good plant maker, and frost resistant. Its best 
points, however, are its ability to set an extra large crop of 
berries and mature every one. Few small berries are found even 
at the last picking. The fruit is large, bright in color and of 
high quality. The leading berry for home market, supplanting 
all other kinds. No berry ever listed has earned such a deserved 
place in the variety list. We recommend it as the BEST early 
and midseason variety. In small plantings use Premier only. 
BLAKEMORE 
Ripens obout same time as Premier. A variety that is taking 
the place of the old standby. Senator Dunlap. Berry very firm, 
good table quality and has no superior for canning or preserving. 
Good plant maker, especially adapted to poorer or lighter soil. 
We consider it one of the real discoveries. It is recognized as a 
superior home and local market berry. 
SENATOR DUNLAP 
Its one fault lies in its habit of making too many plants. 
Dark rich red fruits ripening in midseason, of excellent quality. 
Heavy annual producer. Must be kept thinned out in the row, 
otherwise too many plants and small size fruits will result. 
GANDY 
Still the best late berry. Robust plants that fruit on strong 
stems, blossoming exceedingly late and thus missing frosts that 
often kill the early bloomers. Considered the best preserving 
berry by many and is also very fine as a table variety. Plant 
with confidence. 
DORSETT 
One of the most satisfactory varieties that has been intro¬ 
duced in years. Its high quality, light colored berries are excel¬ 
lent both for home and commercial purposes. Ripens a few days 
after Premier and while by some is thought better we are not 
yet ready to give it preference, it is a good plant maker. 
FAIRFAX 
As Fairfax and Dorsett were sent out at the same time and 
ripen along with Premier they ore generally compared with each 
other. We have found that Fairfax ripens a week after Premier, 
is of darker color, especially when ripe, and of firm texture. It 
so overlaps Aroma that we prefer it to that variety both as to 
quality and production. While excellent and can be planted to 
take the place of Premier we are not yet willing to admit its 
superiority. However, you con plont with confidence. 
AROMA 
As Premier and Fairfax overlap its season of ripening and are 
so superior, we have discontinued Aroma.
