Premier 
Strawberries 
Fresh Dug as Ordered 
We are this year attempting to have a special force on 
packing and digging Strawberries so that no plant will go 
out more than 6 hours from digging time. 
We have an excellent field of 500,000 Ohio-grown plants on a northern 
slope where the breezes of Lake Erie make the plants hardier and heavier. 
We honestly believe our plants are worth $2.00 per 1000 more to plant than 
most nurseries. 
By mail, postpaid: 25 for 25c; 100 for 85c; 250 for #1.85. 
Express, collect: 100 for 75c; 500 for #3.25; 1000 for #6.00; 
5000 for #25.00. 
Senator Dunlap 
SENATOR DUNLAP IS AN OLD STANDARD VARIETY grown for a 
good many years. This variety has made more crates and more 
dollars for berry growers than any other one variety. Requires 
very little attention, and beds last for years if you keep the 
grass out. It’s the toughest variety known. Plants are healthy, 
fast growers, and make plants freely. Should be set 24 inches 
by 36 inches apart in rows. Berries very dark red. Wonderful 
canning berry; great for preserves. 
Fairfax 
Fairfax is the QUALITY berry. It is considered by most 
everyone who has tested them to be by far a better flavored 
berry than Premier, and other good flavored berries. FAIRFAX 
like DORSETT, was introduced by the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, and is supposed to be a cross between the 
Premier and the Royal Sovereign. 
The foliage, like that of Dorsett, is of a very good quality. 
Good foliage means a good fruiting berry. 
Fairfax is also a very productive berry, having produced at 
the rate of 5120 quarts per acre. The size of the berries aver¬ 
ages large. They will average with the CHESAPEAKE, and 
that is going some. Fairfax is a little more firm than Dorsett, 
and is fully as firm as Blakemore. This makes it a wonderful 
shipping berry. The color of the Fairfax is light red, with 
yellow seeds, and a nice green hull. You should by all means 
try some Fairfax this spring. 
New Dorsett 
Premier 
Premier is one of the most popular varieties that we 
otter and it well deserves all the praise that can be given it, 
tor several reasons: 
Premier is the first to ripen. 
Fruit large size and deep red color. 
Firm flesh and excellent quality. 
Heavy yielder and makes thrifty growth. 
You can depend on Premier for a good crop when other 
varieties are a failure. 
Foliage is not susceptible to the leaf spot which has 
ruined many strawberry patches. 
We unhesitatingly recommend the Premier for either home 
or commercial planting.

Inis new variety was originated by the United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture. It is a scientific cross between the 
PREMIER and the Royal Sovereign. 
Dorsett is one of the firmest berries known, and one of the 
heaviest producers, having produced at the rate of 6640 quarts 
per acre in the East. The foliage is a very dark green and 
holds this fine color way through the fruiting season. Dorsett 
berries average very large in size, even a little larger than 
Premier. Color is of light red, and will hold this light red 
color long after picking. This probably will be a big factor 
on the wholesale markets as that is what the wholesale fruit 
buyers are looking for. Light red berries always appear to 
be in better shape than do dark red ones. Try a few of these 
plants this year.
