WAYZAm 
WESTHAUSER’S WAYZATAS 
ARE THE BEST IN THE COUN¬ 
TRY says Mr. Duncan of Missouri: 
June 4th, 1938 
Dear Mr. Westhauser: 
I want to thank you for the fine 
plants you sent me, I never saw such 
thrifty plants. My Wayzata clumps 
will be the site of a half-bushel 
basket by midsummer. You deserve 
lots of credit for pioneering such a 
supreme variety. Even the last 1000 
lot of clumps, which I ordered in 
November, came through fine. The 
Waytata is my favorite. Your ef- 
orts and the Michigan climate is the 
only place in the country to produce 
such quality. Have had plants from 
eastern states, but their stuff is over¬ 
worked and cannot compare with 
your northern quality.

Now we have an Everbearing Strawberry with all the good points 
desired. The berries are large and uniform, with a HONEY-SWEET, 
aromatic flavor and are red to the core. 
They bear 60 days after planting, until hard free 2 ;es or snow stops 
them; again they produce a fine crop with the other springTearers; 
then again from July to late in fall—three crops in 18 months. They 
outyield other Everbearers easily two to one. Today, October 31st, 
as we write this catalog, our crew of pickers are at work gathering 
a fine lot of berries for the Chicago market and they certainly are 
bringing top prices, and the plants are loaded with green berries and 
blossoms. One customer from California writes us that he marketed 
the last picking on January 15th, at Los Angeles. 
PROOF 
We have commercial growers who have bought their Wayzata plants from 
us, the past 4 years, in 5,000 to 10,000 lots, while other everbearing varieties 
could have been bought for a fraction of what they paid us for Wayzata. 
There is a reason. 
PRICES. Due to the fact that this variety uses most of its energy bearing 
fruit, it does not make as many runner plants as other Everbearers, which tO' 
gether with the great demand keeps the price of plants rather high. That is 
the reason why the plants are scarce and will be for some time to come. The 
Wayzata have been a “sell out” with us every year and we were obliged to 
return many orders. Be on the safe side, order early and have your plants 
reserved. 
Wayzata Clump Or Combination Plants 
Grow Enormous Size—Often 12 to 15 Inches Across. Fifty Plants Will Supply the 
Average Family with Berries During Summer and Fall. 
A Single Clump 
Combination 
Plant 
or 
The Wayzata makes runner plants 
in limited quantities, but joins 
a number of new plants with new 
roots to the mother plant. This 
combination of plants appear as one 
large plant with a number of 
crowns, which is the reason the 
Wayzata outbears aU other ever- 
bearing strawberries. Nature pro¬ 
vides each crown with a number 
of fruit stems and blooms which 
are formed before winter, re¬ 
maining dormant until plants 
are transplanted in spring, 
which come to bloom

shortly after. 
We have counted 2 5 fruit stems on a single clump 
plant, the plant you see at the left has six crowns and 
could be divided into that many plants fui individual 
planting. Clump plants will grow easily with such a 
mammoth ROOT system to start with. Pick the first 
blooms oft the plants which will appear right after 
planting, a new set of blossoms will follow and in 
three weeks later the first berries will ripen. Wc 
recommend these large plants for hill system culture, 
especially for small, rich garden plots, planting them 
20x20 inches apart. We have sold some orders in 
large lots and our customers had excellent results, 
ordering them in 1000 lots. 
Fertilizer 
The Wayzata Clumps possessing such a large root 
system, and the fruiting possibilities governed only 
by the humus and minerals in the soil, we recom¬ 
mend PEAT MOSS (unless your soil is rich in 
humus), about 10 quarts to each 50 Wayzata clumps, 
which is rich in humus, nitrogen 
and other minerals. Peat Moss ab¬ 
sorbs water and holds moisture ten 
times its own weight. Mix about 
25 per cent with the soil in the 
openings that you plant the Way¬ 
zata dumps in. See page 30 on 
Peat Moss. 
The size of the 
berries in the above 
photo is reduced in 
order to save space.
