There is something of the inborn qualities of each of 
these three varieties—tried, tested, and grown commer¬ 
cially for many years—the element of "gamble" does 
not exist. 
Good fibrous-rooted plants with well-formed "crowns," 
purchased from a recognized strawberry plant grower is your best assurance of a profitable straw¬ 
berry crop. 
Buntings' golden rooted strawberries are sold to all the important growers of the country who 
specialize in the commercial field. Fifteen million plants will leave our nurseries this year with our 
assurance that successful profit will be enjoyed.

Premier 
Plant New 
Va'Ueti&i! 
That Have Been Tried and 
Tested—Avoid Freaks or 
Advertised Novelties 
While we have the high¬ 
est regard for new varieties 
of proven merit, we have 
learned from long experience 
that all too often, by use of 
attractive pictures and high 
sounding, often exaggerated 
descriptions, many varieties 
have been sold at high 
prices, only to prove a bitter 
disappointment to those who 
bought them. When any real¬ 
ly worth-while new varieties 
appear like Dorsett, Fairfax, 
Starbright and Catskill, we 
follow them closely, and 
when we feel that we can 
safely and conscientiously 
recommend them we do so. 
All new varieties that are 
highly recommended by us, 
we know are good.
