STRAWBERRIES 
Wherever you have a few feet of space In the garden you can plant Strawberries and feel well repaid by 
having an abimdance of their delicious fruit In season. You will find that your home grown fruit, that 
can be picked absolutely fresh, has a much finer and sweeter flavor than the shipped fruit or that picked 
several days before being eaten. 
Any good rich soil will grow Strawberries. Plant them in rows about 1^ ft. by 2 ^ to 3 ft. apart. 
Keep the soil well cultivated and hoed the first year and when the ground freezes up in the fall put on a 
medium to light mulch of straw or leaves. 
PREMIER 
Ail varieties of Strawberries listed 
have perfect blossoms and need no 
pollen izers. 
DORSETT and FAIRFAX 
Highest Quality—Largest Size 
Of any of the early season Strawberries 
These two new U. S. Department of Agriculture 
introductions are truly the aristocrats of the straw¬ 
berry varieties. Both are large, strikingly beautiful 
heavy producers and are widely acclaimed as Acme 
of Quality. This combination of large size and de¬ 
licious flavor places Dorsett and Fairfax at the top 
of the list of varieties for home use and local mar¬ 
kets. 
DORSETT is the early variety surpassing Premier 
in quality, production and profit. 
FAIRFAX is supreme in quality—a flavor you 
can’t forget. Berries Intense bright red, with waxen 
luster and are outstanding for the home garden and 
local market. 
ARfin/IA Genuine Aroma is still 
^ ^ held in highest esteem by many 
growers as a midseason variety. Culver is now a 
strong competitor in this season and both of these 
varieties can be depended on for plenty of fine ber¬ 
ries at a time when the flood of early berries is off 
the market. 
PREMIER Premier is one of 
■ ^ ^ the most popular varieties that 
we offer and it well deserves all the praise that 
can be gdven it, for several reasons; 
1. Premier is the first to ripen. 
2. Fruit large size and deep red color. 
3. Firm flesh and excellent quality. 
4. Heavy yielder and makes thrifty growth. 
5. You can depend on Premier for a good crop 
when other varieties are a failure. 
CATSKILL and CULVER 
Outstanding midseason varieties Introduced by the 
New York Agric. Experiment Station and well worthy 
of general planting. 
CATSKILL stands at the top as a late midseason 
variety of large size berries, heavy yields and a sure 
cropper. The large bright red berries are most at¬ 
tractive even though not as fine a finish as some of 
the earlier varieties. Quality equal to Premier, ripens 
in midseason and continues through the late picking 
period. 
CULVER is perhaps the best variety for preserving 
in the central and northern states. Large, handsome, 
medium to dark red and very attractive. The berries 
are excellent flavor, have bright green caps, a glossy 
finish and red to the center. Foliage is dark green, 
tall healthy and the plants hardier than the average. 
Culver is a most worthy midseason variety. 
GRAND CHAMPION S 
due to very heavy foliage and long blooming period. 
Outstanding for canning and preserving as the ber¬ 
ries are coreless and retain their shape and flavor 
in the can. Ripens early and continues to produce 
over a long period which makes it very desirable for 
home use. The berries are extra large, beautiful ap¬ 
pearance and high quality. 
CARE OF PLANTS 
Set the plants on arrival if possible. Other¬ 
wise unpack to prevent heating and keep the 
roots moist and crown and tops dry, placing in 
as cool a place as available. 
Water the plants when setting. Cut off most 
all of the leaf surface and use care to get the 
plants at the right depth—so the upper portion 
of the crown is Just above the ground. Careful 
hoeing and "scuffling” around the plants is es¬ 
sential to a good start. 
6. Foliage is not susceptible to the leaf spot 
which has ruined many strawberry patches.
