This Strawberry No. 1192 seems to com- i a 
bine more good qualities than you could nat- 4 
urally expect in any one variety. It was de- X 
veloped and distributed by the Minnesota 
State Fruit Breeding Farm. It has successfully 
stood the scrutiny of many critical and prac- 
tical fruit growers. The opinions below are 
proof of its value. 
No. 1192 has what is called an imperfect 
bloom; that is, some other variety is required 
nearby to properly pollinate the flowers. 
Almost any common variety is suitable for this 
purpose. Prices, page 33-K. 
Outstanding Discovery ' 
Prof. Alderman says: “The Minnesota No. 1192 Strawberry seems to be one 
of the outstanding discoveries of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. The fea- 
tures which make it outstanding are its late maturity, which will considerably 
extend the Strawberry marketing season; its productiveness, which is”a character 
essential in any successful variety; its excellent canning and freezing qualities; 
and finally, its ability to stand up under handling and shipping conditions. 
Perhaps the only weakness in the variety is the fact that it has imperfect flowers, CANADA 
Minnesota d 
No. 1192 Ree 
and it must be planted adjacent to some perfect flowered variety such as are com- 
monly grown in this state. I confidently expect that with one more year’s test, 
we will be ready to name and introduce the variety.”

Money Maker On Market 
Fred Ulrich, prominent fruit grower of Rochester, says: “We have grown the 
Minnesota No. 1192 Strawberry for about 5 years and find it the best quality 
of any we have grown. It sells for more money than any other variety and the 
people who buy them once always want them again. For canning, one box goes 
as far as two boxes of other varieties. When canned the regular way, they taste 
like fresh Strawberries. We consider it hardier than Premier.”

PREMIER Premier is still holding its own with many growers as the 
top No. 1 Strawberry for this country. It is a fine early berry. 
It does well over a wide range of territory and on almost any soil. The berries 
are good average size, a medium red color and show up well in the package. It is 
firm enough to ship moderate distances and the quality is better than most other 
varieties now generally grown. Prices on page 33K. 
STRAWBERRIES, SUGAR and CREAM 
Most people are not concerned with why green Strawberry plants produce red berries. They 
are more concerned with getting the red berries, and lots of them. The ultimate goal is bowls 
and bowls of ‘‘Strawberries, sugar and cream’’ over a long period of time. 
Brushing away the bubbles and froth, fancy names and untried varieties, we find the fore- 
going varieties as the most desirable and most dependable. These are the varieties that, under 
average conditions, will give you the most bowls of ‘*Strawberries, sugar and cream,’’ the most 
crates on the market and the most money in the pocket. Prices of Strawberries, page 33-K.
