Hardy Lilies 
The beautiful fragrant Lilies are considered by many too difficult to grow. However, the hardy varieties which 
we list are no harder to grow than a tulip. They blossom in mid-summer when fine flowers are most welcome. . 
CULTURE. Select a place to plant that is well drained. The soil should be spaded thoroughly 15 to 18 inches 
deep. Do this early in the fall as lilies cannot be moved until late and it is hard to work the ground late in the 
season, especially after we have had a light frost. Enrich the soil with leaf mold and sheep manure in equal P r0 ' 
portions. Set the bulbs 4 to 8 inches deep, depending on the size, tilting to a 45-degree angle. To insure good 
drainage pack sand around the bulb. Place about four inches of mulch over the bed. See page 18 for Day lilies.

EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES JUNE BEARING STRAWBERRIES 
GEM. Without exception the best everbearing straw¬ 
berry. We have tried all the outstanding new varieties 
and consider this the best. The berries are large, uniform 
in size and shape and real beauties. Deep glossy red clear 
through. Never green tipped or white-fleshed which is 
common among everbearing varieties. The berries ripen 
red from top to bottom, inside and out. The flavor and 
quality is wonderful. Berries sweet and delicious and so 
firm they will keep for days after picking. Plants large 
and robust. Set a new strawberry bed now using 
Gem plants. You can’t go wrong. Price: 50 plants, $1.00; 
100 plants, $1.75; 500 plants, $6.75, postpaid. By express, 
1,000 for $12.00. 
PROGRESSIVE. The first successful Everbearer. An old 
favorite, a tried and proven variety. Does well on all soils 
and i» all climates. The dark glossy red berries are 
medium to large in size. A very heavy bearer especially 
through the summer and fall months. Plants set now 
will give a large crop next summer and fall, another 
the following summer and still another in the fall. 
We highly recommend this variety for home or nearby 
market. Price: 50 for 80c; 100 for $1.35; 500 for $6.00, 
postpaid. By express, 1,000 for $8.00.

selected berries have filled a quart box. The berries are 
firm and solid and of a rich, glossy red, delicious in flavor 
considering their size. Not a shipper. It is one of the 
largest, heaviest producing strawberries yet introduced.

plants, $4.00, postpaid. 1,000 by express, $6.50. 
BEAVER. (Perfect Flowering.) Our new June bearing 
strawberry, the Beaver is an offspring of the Dr. Burrell 
and Premier and a much better commercial berry than 
either one, as the berries are larger, sweeter and firmer. 
Will stand unfavorable soil and climatic conditions better 
than any other variety. The berries are dark red to the 
center, of a uniform size and the texture firm, requiring 
picking not more than twice a week. A deliciously mild 
and sweet berry. In season it is classed as an extra early, 
but it will bear on through with the late varieties. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. (Perfect Flowering.) Considered 
by many the best all-around June strawberry. At any rate 
it is the one most widely known. The plants are medium 
in size, long rooted and thoroughly drouth resistant. The 
variety is unusually productive, beginning to ripen early 
and continuing to bear for a long time. 
The fruit is of medium size, smooth, regular and firm 
and the color is a beautiful red extending well to the 
center of the berry. 
DORSETT. (Perfect Flowering.) A new frostproof 
June bearing strawberry which we think is going to be 
very popular and profitable with the Wisconsin strawberry 
growers. Its outstanding characteristics are earliness, 
quality of fruit, and resistance to drouth and heavy rains. 
It produces berries that are large, ideal in color, and 
uniform in shape. Berries are flame-red and they hold 
this color after picking. Very sweet and sub-acid. Yields 
of 1,000 crates per acre are not unusual.
