PICKING THE WINNERS 
Early 
Premier 
The safe early strawberry. Frost proof. Has produced a crop 
every year for 24 straight years since its introduction. Very 
productive, profitable and popular in all Northern and Middle 
States. 
p ■ X Best of all in quality. Quite productive. Berries large, firm, 
r3llTuX beautiful, becoming dark when full ripe. Ideal berry for home 
garden. Very profitable for roadside market, fancy trade. High 
quality brings repeat sales. Widely adapted North to Middle South. 
^ XA Most profitable early berry for us. At its best equals Premier 
LPOrSett in productiveness. Superior in size, firmness, beauty. Much 
better in quality. Avoid very cold frosty sites, far North. 
Blakemore light and quite tart is fine, early shipping berry adapted chiefly from 
Maryland South. Maytime earliest of all, a new variety with vigor, firmness, 
beauty, quality, worth trying Virginia to Southern New England. 
The safe midseason berry. 8 years without a crop failure. 
Heaviest producer of any leading variety—more big berries 
than any other. Good quality, firm, attractive. Adapted from 
Canada south to Missouri, and North Carolina. Best mid¬ 
season berry. 
Rivals Catskill where adapted. Vigorous grower, fairly pro¬ 
ductive. Berries very large, firm, fine quality, beautiful. Fine 
for home garden, local market. Profitable where it escapes 
frost and cold injury. Pathfinder and Dresden, both new, vigorous, extremely 
productive, hardy. Berries medium to large, not real firm, only fair quality. 
Northern States only. Very promising where quantity is more important than 
high quality. 
Midseason 
Catskill 
Big Joe 
The aristocrat of Strawberries. For years highest 
selling late berries. Large, firm, very beautiful, 
fine quality. Considered shy plant maker but our 
present strain has always made plenty of plants. 
Most profitable late berry in many sections. Lupton 
a late shipping berry. Productive, large, firm, attractive. Poor quality but often 
profitable. Starbright, new, similar to Chesapeake in many ways, but hand¬ 
somer, firmer and better quality. Worth trying. For extreme lateness the 
new Redstar vigorous, firm, attractive, fine quality. Gandy, Green Mountain 
also good, very late. 
Late 
Chesapeake 
Everbearing 
Mastodon 
to summer and fall 
Most popular and widely grown Everbearer. A strong 
grower. Berries large, good quality, good shippers, 
excellent for home use and most generally used when 
planting for profit. A fine spring cropper in addition 
berries. 
Better than Mastodon with us. More productive, more profitable, 
UCITI berries prettier, better shipper, equal in quality. Not as good as 
Mastodon for spring crop. Green Mountain, most vigorous of the 
Everbearers. At peak of fall production later than Mastodon or Gem. Very 
productive, fine appearance, best in cool climates and on heavier soils.
