BIG JOE 
One of the best. Until the coining of Catskill, the leading midseason 
variety. 
The Best Seven 
On pages 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of this catalog there are descriptions of 
what we believe to be the best varieties in existence today; Dorsett, Fairfax, 
Premier, Catskill, Big Joe, Chesapeake, and Blakemore. 
They posess all the elements that make for success: vigor of growth, 
productivity, stamina at fruiting time, freedom from disease, and what is 
most important, the handsome appearance that always commands the high¬ 
est price. 
Of the seven Premier is the most popular as yet. It is early, productive 
and a success under all conditions of soil and climate, but Dorsett and Fairfax 
may replace it in our opinion. 
We feel that a mistake is made when a long list of varieties is planted. 
Differing widely in general appearance, different varieties do not crate up 
well together, pickers are not satisfied to gather carefully the smaller and 
less productive kinds. Many of them are inferior in some particular, hence 
we unhesitatingly recommend these seven of tested merit and unquestioned 
superiority. Of course, if it has been demonstrated that for your special 
situation of either soil or market that other kinds are best, we will be glad 
to fill your order. 
IN FINE SHAPE

Dear Sirs: The strawberry plants came through in fine shape, but I find that 
I made a mistake in the Parcel Post rates and sent $1.50 too much. Kindly 
attend to this. Very truly, Clarence Karnes
