McKay Nursery Company 
McKay’s Delicious Strawberries have been on trial over 
a wide territory for many years and have been found ex¬ 
tremely hardy. We offer only the best varieties. Blossoms 
should be picked off from newly set plants until they are 
well established. 
Premier 
June-Bearing 
Strawberries 
AROMA. (Perfect). Fruit very large, roundish 
conical, glossy red, of excellent quality and pro¬ 
duced in abundance. One of the most profitable 
late varieties that we grow. 
BEAVER (Perfect). Berries large, well colored, 
firm, and of good quality. They are hardy, very 
productive, and do well in all types of soil. Never 
fails to produce a good crop of fruit. One of the 
best market varieties. 
BLAKEMORE. (Perfect). A new early variety. The 
berries are of a good red color, firm, and well 
flavored. Ripen a little earlier than Premier. 
DORSETT. (Perfect). Another recent introduction 
as an improvement on the Premier. Like Premier, 
it is very early, but continues bearing longer into 
the summer, almost until the late varieties are 
through. It is very productive. Berries are a very 
bright red color, of the very highest quality and 
flavor, and firm enough to stand shipment. 
DR. BURRILL (Perfect). A big cropper. Berries 
large, dark red, of the best quality, and uniform 
in size and shape. This new variety is a strong 
fertilizer; its season of fruiting extra long. 
FAIRFAX (Perfect). Another recent introduction 
which, like Dorsett, is of supreme quality, in 
fact, the highest quality and best flavored straw¬ 
berry we have. The plant is a very vigorous 
grower, making a moderate number of plants of 
a very large size, rather than a greater number of 
plants of smaller size. Because of this very large 
plant size and fewer plants the berries are very 
large, in fact, the largest berries we have ever 
seen. They are a beautiful rich red color and quite 
firm. An outstanding variety for the home garden. 
PREMIER. (Perfect). An old popular favorite with 
strawberry growers as an early berry. Extensively 
grown by commercial strawberry growers, as well 
as home gardeners. This strong growing, early 
variety adapts itself to all soils, and has proven 
unusually satisfactory. The berries are medium red 
in color, of medium size, moderately firm and of 
good quality. Premier is a sure cropper, and stands 
at the head of the list for genera! productiveness. 
Most of the records for high yields and large 
profits have been made with Premier. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. (Perfect). A variety of 
great merit and much admired. Fruit of large size, 
regular and attractive in form, deep red in color, 
firm and excellent in quality; season early and 
continues in bearing nearly a month. 
STEVENS LATE CHAMPION. (Perfect). Fruit 
large, long, slightly flattened. Color deep red, 
flesh also red. 
Dorsett 
Everbearing 
Strawberries 
GEM. A new everbearing variety of merit. The 
flavor is excellent and the fruit is of good size, 
very firm and well colored. Gem is a direct 
offspring of the old Progressive. It is just as 
productive with much larger and better fla¬ 
vored fruit. 
MASTODON. The berries are uniform and 
larger toward the end of the season instead of 
running small. The yields of fruit increase 
from July to October. They bear large crops 
in the summer and fall after planting and also 
the following spring. Berries are firm and 
stand handling. The large crowns send out 
numerous strong fruiting stems, supporting as 
many as 30 berries on each. Runners make 
good fruiting row. The blossoms are perfect 
and bear when planted alone. 
WAYZATA. A new, heavy bearing everbearer 
that exceeds Mastodon in quantity, size and 
quality of fruit produced. The fruit is large, 
beautifully colored, with a wonderful flavor. 
It does exceptionally well under irrigation; 
however, Wayzata will do well on almost any 
type of soil. This wonderful new variety 
originated at Wayzata, Minn., so it should be 
perfectly hardy in Wisconsin. This is the 
heaviest bearing and best tasting everbearer 
we have ever encountered; however, it bears 
so heavily that it does not produce as many 
plants as some varieties. Perfect.
