Strawberries 
No other fruit gives such quick results as strawberries. Plant¬ 
ed one spring, they give a full crop the next, and with proper 
care a patch lasts several years. Plant 2 ft. apart in the row, 
the rows 3^2 to 4 ft. apart; planted 2x4 ft. requires 5400 per 
acre. These plants are well rooted, properly cleaned and care¬ 
fully packed. All varieties listed are perfect flowered and will 
bear alone. 
Aroma. A heavy bearer and the leading commercial variety 
in this section: very large; conical; glossy deep red, firm; ships 
well: begins midseason and continues late. 
Blakemore. Originated by the United States Department of 
Agriculture. Bright light red; medium size; good quality: 
firm; ships well; valuable commercially because it keeps longer 
than most varieties: jells easily: early. Grown from yellows- 
free plants. 
Dorsett. Early: rich bright red; large: good quality; firm; 
vigorous: productive. One of the best for table use.

same rich, juicy flavor: medium size; midseason; bears heavily: 
ships well: succeeds almost everywhere. 
Fairfax. Early; rich red, large, good flavor: vigorous, pro¬ 
ductive. 
Gem. Large: attractive light red; tart, but a flavor usually 
well liked; productive; everbearing; bears first summer and fall.

gives a crop the first summer and fall; good quality: if possible 
plant everbearers where you can water during dry weather.

dark glossy red, similar to Dunlap: bears the first summer and 
fall.

Grapes often yield a few bunches the year after planting, and 
should give a good crop the third year: with age they arc very 
productive; in vineyard or garden, cultivated and pruned regu¬ 
larly, they yield larger bunches, but bear fair crops on fence, ar¬ 
bor or pergola. Scarcely any property is too small for a few 
vines. They succeed on almost any well drained soil of aver¬ 
age fertility. Plant 8x8 or 8x10 ft. 
Agawam. One of the best red grapes: bunch and berry large; 
dark reddish-brown: juicy, rich; productive: follows Concord. 
Concord. The most popular black grape; large, juicy, 
sweet; hardy, productive, vigorous, mid to late August. 
Moore Early. Ripens about 2 weeks before Concord; black; 
large: valued for size, hardiness, productiveness and season. 
Niagara. Greenish-white to pale yellow; sweet; ripens with 
Concord or a little later; large; vigorous; productive.
