Strawberry Plants 
Strawberry plants should be set out in rows 2 feet apart and the plants a foot 
apart, cutting off all runners as they appear. The varieties we offer are all perfect 
flowering and therefore need no association with any other variety for perfect 
fruiting. 
Shipping season lasts from August until October. We recommend early plant¬ 
ing to enable the plants to get established before the advent of winter. 
Uniform prices for all sorts listed below, $1.50 per doz., $8 per 100, all pot-grown 
Popular Standard Varieties, Pot-grown 
Varieties not listed can be supplied 
Aberdeen. Midseason. Produces immense crops of large, bright red berries. 
Ambrosia. One of the best very late varieties. Vigorous plants produce a tre¬ 
mendous amount of large bright red berries. 
Catskill. Midseason. A heavy yielder of excellent fruit. 
Chesapeake. The berries are uniform in size and shape, mostly heart-shaped. 
Color is bright crimson and the flesh firm and of excellent quality. Midseason 
to late. 
Corsican. Midseason. Large in plant, berry, and crop, Corsican is preferred by 
many experts to New York as a midseason sort. 
Dorsett. Early. Best in flavor, largest in size, most attractive in appearance, 
heaviest in yield, this introduction of the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
leaves nothing to be desired. The berries, which are large, firm, and shapely, 
are produced in amazing quantities on healthy plants. 
Early Jersey Giant. Fruit of extra-high quality, and extremely productive. 
Fairfax. Ripening just after Dorsett, this remarkable berry rules the second- 
early market as decisively as Dorsett rules the earlier sorts. The solid berries, 
which ripen evenly to a deep red and hold their firmness and flavor well, are 
perfect for canning. 
Glen Mary. Midseason. Large berries, deep red in color, with prominent golden 
seeds. (Plant near some good pollenizer, like Joe, for best results.)
