STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Varieties of STRAWBERRIES 
PATHFINDER, Per. A new variety originating at the New Jersey Agriculture 
College. The result of a cross between the Premier and Aberdeen. Very vigorous in 
plant growth, making a sufficient number of plants for a good, bed, but much larger 
and heavier foliage than either of its original parent plants, also very resistant to 
plant diseases. Will produce a large crop of fruit, medium to large in size, uni- 
formly smooth and regular in shape, good color, moderately firm and a good 
flavor, a promising new variety. 
BLAKEMORE. Per Early—A good early variety that has been thoroughly test- 
ed. It is a vigorous grower, making plenty of good strong plants. Berries larger 
than the average extra early variety, bright red in color, good flavor and firm 
flesh, making it a good commercial berry. 
PREMIER. Per (or Howard No. 17) Early—This is one variety sold under either 
name. Size medium to large, good color and a firm berry, plants very vigorous 
making good beds and more resistant to frost than other varieties. You can not go 
wrong on them. 
SUCCESS. Per Medium Early—An old reliable that we will still recommend for 
the home garden. It makes good strong plants and plenty of them to form a suf- 
ficient bed for a good crop of fruit, the fruit is extra large, excellent flavor and has 
a long picking season, in fact all anyone could desire in a home berry or near by 
market, it is not a distant shipper. 
FAIRFAX Per Early 
The most wonderful introduction of strawberries in recent years. It makes a 
moderate number of exceptionally strong heavily rooted, large crown plants, very 
productive of big beautiful berries. 
The fruit is the best of flavor rich red in color with bright green caps. It starts 
picking a few days later than Premier. It is exceptionally firm and stands distant 
shipping also desirable for home garden or road side market as it has the quality 
and good appearance. 
CATSKILL Per. 
A new midseason variety, making plenty of large strong plants, a heavy produc- 
er of large berries of good quality, light red in color, with large green caps, mak- 
ing it very attractive and sells well on the market. 
DORSETT Per. 
This new berry has already become a favorite with many growers. It ripens 
with Premier, makes a vigorous growth of foliage, not as large a plant as, the 
Fairfax but makes them more freely, often requiring thinning and spacing. The 
fruit is large, light red in color, good flavor and firm texture making it a good all 
around variety. 
225 
A new berry originated by the New Jersey Experimental Station. Late, excel- 
lent color, good fruiting bed, good flavor. 
ABERDEEN Per. 
Under favorable conditions outyields any other. The fruit averages large thru- 
out the season, bright shiny red in color, uniform in size and shape and has a 
beautiful green calyx that adds much to its appearance. 
CHESAPEAKH. Per Late—The choice of berries with many growers, but it has 
its fault, unless planted on extra good land and good attention is given it, it does 
not make a sufficient bed to produce a good crop of berries. The fruit is large 
and the best of quality, but must be planted on good rich loamy soil for the best 
results.
