BEAVER. (Perfect Flowering.) 
All are Wis- 
Beaver is an offspring of the Dr. Burrell and Premier and a much 
better commercial berry than either one, as the berries are larger, 
Sweeter and firmer. 
Will stand unfavorable soil and climatic con- 
ditions better than any other variety. The berries are dark red to 
the center, of a uniform size and the texture firm, requiring picking 
not more than twice a week. A deliciously mild and sweet berry. 
In season it is classed as an extra early, but it will bear on through 
with the late varieties.

GEM. Our favorite Everbearer. The berries 
are large, uniform in size and shape and real 
beauties. Deep glossy red clear through. Never 
green tipped or white-fleshed which is common 
among everbearing varieties. The berries ripen 
red from top to bottom, inside and out. The 
flavor and quality are wonderful. Berries sweet 
and delicious and so firm they will keep for days 
after picking. Plants large and robust. Set a 
new strawberry bed now using Gem plants. You 
can’t go wrong. Prices: 50 plants, $1.00; 100 
plants, $1.75; 500 plants, $6.75, postpaid. By 
express, 1,000 for $12.00. 
PROGRESSIVE. The first successful Ever- 
bearer. An old favorite, a tried and proven va- 
riety. Does well on all soils and in all climates. 
The dark glossy red berries are medium to large 
in size. A very heavy bearer especially through 
the summer and fall months. Plants set now 
will give a large crop next summer and fall, 
another the following summer and still another 
in the fall. We highly recommend this variety 
for home or near-by market. Prices: 50 for 
$1.00; 100 for $1.75; 500 for $6.75, postpaid.

their size. Not a shipper. It is one of the 
largest, heaviest producing strawberries yet in- 
troduced. Will not do well on all soils. Prices: 
50 plants for $1.00; 100 plants for $1.75; 500
