New Runnerless Strawberry 
(Everbearing) 
This is a new creation of an European plant 
specialist. This plant does not throw out runners, 
but puts forth all its effort in one single plant and 
in producing fruit. If the plants are potted up in 
the fall just before frost, they will bear all win¬ 
ter. They make a fine Christmas plant, the green foliage and bright red strawberries 
hanging all around the plant. Plants Limited. 10 Cents Each. Big Plants. 
Mastodon

core; fruit very large, jet black. We think this is the best of blackberries. 12
