appearance. Plants also very large and healthy. Foliage dark, glossy 
green, and produces fruit throughout the entire summer and fall months.

Senator Dunlap 
(Dr. Burrill) 
The Old Dependable 
One of the oldest midseason varieties and still grown on a large scale 
in all parts of the country. 
MISSIONARY. (Perfect.) A good early variety. At least 95 per cent of 
the strawberries grown in the state of Florida are Missionary. A strong 
grower and productive. The berries are well colored and firm. 
NARCISSA. (Perfect.) Released in 1933 by the U. S. Department of Agri¬ 
culture. Has the same parentage as Dorsett and Fairfax, being a seed¬ 
ling of Howard 17 and Royal Sovereign. Berries bright color, firm, 
attractive, good guality.

NEW YORK. (Perfect.) Midseason. Plants are large and healthy. Fruit 
extremely large, well colored. A good midseason variety for the north¬ 
ern states. 
Dunlap grows on all soils, under most adverse conditions, in localities 
where late frosts make it impossible to grow other sorts, and always 
makes a heavy fruiting row and produces a record yield of fine fruit. 
Fruit is of good size and a beautiful bright red color, glossy and very 
firm. It is a splendid shipper and of excellent quality when grown in the 
regions adapted to it. 
SOUTHLAND. Large, firm berries, very fine quality. Plants make a 
healthy, vigorous growth. Particularly recommended for the southern 
states. 
NORTH STAR. A fine new variety, recently released for introduction by 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A medium early, firm, commercial 
and home-garden variety of high quality. The plants are above aver¬ 
age in size. 
PARSONS' BEAUTY. (Perfect.) Midseason. Fruit is large, conical, uniform 
in shape, dark red, and fair quality. A strong pollenizer. 
RED GOLD. (Perfect.) Early. Ripens earlier than Premier. Brilliant red 
berries with tender flesh and sweet, melting flavor. 
WM. BELT. (Perfect.) Midseason to late. Produces a large berry of ex¬ 
traordinary beauty and quality. 
WAYZATA. Berries are extra large in size, very dark red, with a much 
better flavor than that of the other fall-bearers. The fruit is quite firm 
and very attractive. A very poor plant-maker; seldom does the mother 
plant produce more than one or two runners a season. For this reason, 
the plants will always sell at a premium. Due to this habit of growth, 
the plants should be set rather close in the row, which will result in 
your obtaining a large crop of berries from a small area. Wayzata 
comes into bearing earlier in the summer than the other fall-bearers; 
a very prolific bearer. 
A cross between Premier and Aber¬ 
deen; originated and introduced by 
the New Jersey State Experimental 
Station. Now quite popular in sev¬ 
eral Strawberry sections where it 
has been grown. Starts ripening a 
few days after Premier, and the first 
two pickings are exceptionally 
heavy, with the berries medium to 
large in size and of very good ap¬ 
pearance: Ripens at a time to bring 
good prices, when there is a demand 
for large solid berries. Foliage is a 
dark thrifty green, holding up well 
during the fruiting season. The plants 
make a vigorous, healthy growth, 
and are disease-resistant. Try Path¬ 
finder this year. 
See page 30 for prices. 
RIDGELY. (Perfect.) A cross between Premier and Gandy. Ripens early 
midseason. Fruit firm, large size. 
SAMPLE. (Imperfect.) Medium late. Extensively planted throughout the 
entire northern states. Fruit is large and well made up, firm enough 
for long distance shipments. 
SHELTON. Originated at the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Sta¬ 
tion, and particularly recommended for the northern states. The fruit is 
bright red, of fine quality and flavor. Vigorous grower, making an 
abundance of new plants.
