Description and Prices of Strawberry Plants, 
Our plants are cleaned of dead leaves 
and runners and tied 26 to the bunch, 4 
bunches to the hundred and 40 bu. (1040 
plants) to the thousand; packed and deliver- 
ed to express or parcel post, at following 
prices. 
Premier, Very early, large size, wedge 
shaped, bright light colored. Productive, 
keeps well in market, sell for good prices. 
Has a long fruiting season. More universally 
grown than any other variety for market. 
25, 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.50. 
Senator Dunlap, Plants very vigorous 
and require very little care. In fact, they 
almost take care of themselves after the first 
hoeing. We kept a bed of them in the same 
place for over 25 years. Berries medium in 
size, dark glossy and red all the way through. 
Quality the best, and fine for canning or pre- 
serving. The ideal variety for the busy 
farmer. 25, 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $6.00. 
Dorsett, Healthy, vigorous, very produc- 
tive plants. Berries very large, glossy and 
of fine flavor. Succeeds on heavier soil than 
Premier. 25, 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.50. 
Fairfax, Fine growing plants, dark color- 
ed leaves and very productive. In a test 
plot, Fairfax proved to be next to Aberdeen 
in productiveness, out of a list of 25 varieties. 
The berries are medium to very large, very 
firm, almost black and the sweetest and best 
flavored variety I have ever tasted. It may 
be hard to sell the first quart, as they are so 
dark colored, but after the customer has tast- 
ed them, he will be back for a crate. 25, 35c; 
100, $1.00; 1000, $7.50. 
Catskill, Very vigorous, enormously pro- 
ductive plants. . Berries very large bright 
glossy crimson and the most attractive of 
any in market. It is probably the largest in 
average size of all strawberries. It sells for 
the same price as the Chesapeake, in the large 
city markets, bringing the best of prices. 
The flavor is excellent. Catskill is the favor- 
ite variety for market in Oswego county, N. 
Y. at the present. time. 25, 35c; 100, $1.00; 
1000, $7.50. 
Aberdeen, Very vigorous, healthy plants, 
the most productive of any in a test plot of 
over 25 leading varieties. Berries, large, 
wedge shaped and of good color. It ripens 
a week or more later than most other kinds, 
such as Premier, and lasts.to the end of the 
season. It is highly considered in and around 
Pulaski, where it is largely grown. 25, 25c; 
100, 75c; 1000, $6.00. : 
Wm, Belt, A very vigorous growing 
plant, but sometimes rusts on heavy soils. 
Very productive of fine flavored, very large, 
wedge shaped berries that ripen very late in 
the season. 25, 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $6.00. 
Stevens Late Champion, Very vigorous, 
healthy, productive plants. Berries _ pro- 
duced very late in the season, lasting till 
most all others are gone. Fruit very large, 
fan shaped, coxcombed and very attractive 
in market where it holds its bright color for 
days. Very profitable for market, but the 
flavor is disappointing to the quality con- 
noisseur. 25, 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $6.00. 
Ridgeway, The only berry we have ever 
tested except Gandy that will thrive on low 
wet clay soils. In such circumstances, the 
berries are very large, light colored and of 
the finest flavor. It ripens vey late and does 
equally well on heavy upland soils, but runs 
only medium in size. This and Fairfax make 
a fine team for home use and appreciative 
market. 25, 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.50. 
Dresden, This variety is the largest berry 
I have ever fruited. We had any number of 
them last summer that run 10 to 12 to the 
heaped quart. I once saw 6 berries of the 
Marshall variety that heaped a quart. I am 
going to try and grow Dresden this summer 
that run 4 to 5 to the heaped quart, This 
variety has about the same color as Premier, 

Specimen of the Catskill Strawberry Greatly Reduced 
not as glossy as Catskill. 25, 50c; 100, $1.50; 
1000, $10.00. 
Chesapeake, Large plants, moderately 
productive. Berries very large, covered 
with bright yellow seeds. Ships well and 
sells for the very highest prices on the New 
York Market, Largely superceded now by 
Catskill and Fairfax. 
1000, $7.50. 
New York, Vigorous, healthy, very large 
plants. Berries very large, light colored, but 
dark glossy red on side to sun. Flavor mild 
and agreeable, not acid like most straw- 
berries. 25, 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.50. 
Early Jersey Giant, Plants good runners 
and productive. 
tractive. We have picked them as they run, 
20 to the quart, by the crate, and they sell at 
a premium in market. 25, 50c; 100, $1.50; 
1000, $10.00. 
Clermont, Culver, Gibson, Cresco, 25, 
25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $6.00. 
North Star, A cross of the Red Heart and 
Premier, retaining the good qualities of both, 
deep red through and through. We expect 
wonders of this variety. 25, 50c; 100, $1.50; 
1000, $10.00. 
Black and White Strawberries, We grow 
and pick these berries together for contrast. 
The black strawberry is almost jet black, 
very firm, good quality and fine for preserv- 
ing. The white strawberry is a pale pinkish- 
white berry, very large and the sweetest and 
mildest flavored berry that grows. 
make a great showing when exhibited to- 
gether. Supply of plants is limited. 25, 75c; 
100, $2.00; 1000, $15.00. 
Gem Everbearing, The earliest to ripen 
of all the fall bearing kinds. The plants are 
moderate growers and very productive. 
Berries good size, firm and of good flavor. 
Must be allowed to get fully ripe or it is 
rather sour. The plants are inclined to over 
bear and lose their foliage unless sprayed 
with Bordeaux mixture. We find fall bear- 
ing strawberries very satisfactory and this is 
the most profitable variety. 25, 50c; 100, 
$1.50; 1000, $10.00.

Berri-Supreme, This variety has healthy 
sturdy foliage and makes a very hardy plant. 
The berries do not ripen until late and they 
last until the weather gets very cold. You 
can go out after the snow comes and find 
many of them under the leaves. The berries 
are very large, larger than Mastodon even; 
of good flavor, and produced in great abund- 
ance. Strange as it may seem, this is the 
favorite around Oswego, while Gem is the 
favorite around Pulaski. The plants are en- 
tirely hardy and very productive of large 
berries in the regular June season. It is a 
good variety to tie to for both summer and 
fall crop. 25, 75c; 100, $2.50; 1000, $20.00. 
Mastodon, Very large plants, productive 
of very large berries which ripen real late. 
It must be grown on new soil every year or 
it will run to rosette or white leaf and be 
unproductive. 25, 50c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 
Wyzata, Nothing but the old Rockhill 
revamped. We find that when it does not 
make runners, that it produces a small crop 
of medium sized berries, but of fine flavor. 
When it makes runners, it does not bear a 
single berry in the fall, but is a good summer 
bearer. It is claimed to do wonders in the 
Northwest states, but we have yet to hear of 
any party doing well with it in the East.

BIG YIELD FROM DRESDEN 
STRAWBERRY 
Mr. Irving D. Smith of Skaneateles, N. 
Y. State Nursery Inspector, set 24 plants of 
Dresden in 1930 and picked from them 38 
quarts in 1940, 
At a meeting of the N. Y. State Horti- 
cultural Society, Dr. G. M. Darrow of the 
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, reported that the 
acreage of strawberries in New York state 
was divided among the different varieties 
about as follows: Premier (Howard 17), 45%; 
Catskill, 20%; Cleremont, 10%; Fairfax, 
7%; Culver, 5%; Chesapeake, 3%; Dorsett, 
2%; Aberdeen, 2%; Pathfinder, 1%; All 
Others, 4%. He suggests heavier plantings 
of Catskill, Fairfax and Dresden. :
