STRAWBERRIES 
ADAPTED TO A WIDE RANGE OF SOIL and CLIMATE 
Should Be in Every Home Garden — Profitable 
Commercially 
Serawberries always demand good prices on the market 
and are easily grown. ‘they will succeed in any soil that is 
adapted to ordinary garden or farm crops. The soil should 
be thoroughly prepared to a good depth, and enriched with 
stable manure or good commercial fertilizer before planting. 
We grow Strawberries for plants only and ours are 
not to be compared with those taken from bearing 
patches where they were allowed to stand_several 
years in stiff soil without being cultivated. Our 
Strawberry plants are transplanted to new soil each 
season and, therefore, are far superior to the low 
priced plants from bearing patches. The advantage 
of using these new plants from the nursery row will 
be apparent when the first crop comes in, for it will 
more than offset the first cost of the plants. Our deep, 
sandy loam soil is especially adapted for growing 
Strawberries, for the plants develop exceptionally 
fine root systems. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
BLAKEMORE. Extra early, ripening 4 or 5 days 
before Premier, Introduced by U. 58. Department 
of Agriculture. A cross between Premier and 
Missionary. Berries are bright red and resemble Premier. 
DORSETT. Berries are very firm—firmer than the -Fremier—and 
are a beautiful light red in color, holding their color, and for this 
reason, together with their attractive shape and extra fine qual- 
ity, will undoubtedly become the leading commercial variety. 
Developed and introduced by the U. 8. Department of Agricul- 
ture. Ripens with Premier but is more prolific. 
FAIRFAX. Exceptionally firm, bright red, early berry which can 
be left on vine several days after ripening. Fairfax was pro- 
duced and introduced by the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, 
along with Dorsett, both of which have met with a warm recep- 
tion with berry growers wherever tested. Ripens with Premier 
but over a longer period. 
PREMIER. Leading early berry. Premier is as nearly frostproof as 
any Strawberry can be. It is unusually healthy, being free from 
leaf spot and other diseases. Large, bright red, firm berries of 
fine texture and flavor. 
MIDSEASON AND LATE VARIETIES 
AROMA. This well known sort is more largely planted as a commer- 
cial berry, and it has been one of our best sellers. 
BIG JOE (JOE JOHNSON). A midseason to late variety. Has 
good size, fine flavor and color. Berry is firm and yields well. 
GANDY. Possibly the most popular of all late varieties. Large, of 
excellent quality, and a good shipper. 

The Majestic originated in Lee County, Virginia, where it 
outyields and sells for more than any other variety. Berries 
are extremely large, rich, bright red in color, and firm enough 
to make it a good long distance shipper. It has a high flavor 
and is sweeter than the Premier. 
The Majestic is enormously productive—yielding large quan- 
tities of high grade berries. It is a late blooming variety, having 
a long blooming season and often escapes late Spring frosts 
when other varieties are killed or damaged.

“Gem Everbearing 
GEM EVERBEARING 
The most valuable Everbearing Strawberry we have ever grown. 
Planted side by side with the next most popular Everbearing, the 
Gem produced more than twice as many berries and more plants. 
Our objection to the old Everbearing varieties was that the berries 
were too scattered, which is not the case with the Gem. With us 
it started bearing in May after being transplanted in April and bore 
continually throughout the Summer. No sooner than one crop 
was harvested, bloom for another crop was appearing. The berries 
are large and of excellent quality. We do not hesitate to recommend 
the Gem for commercial culture, as well as being the ideal berry 
for the home garden. 
See page 17 ‘“‘How to Plant Strawberries.” 







The Majestic is medium early. It begins ripening three or 
four days later than the Premier and bears for a long season— 
holding its size well until the end. 
The plants have a deep root system and are not affected so 
much by droughts as some varieties. Plants are vigorous 
growers and free of disease. 
You are urged to plant this promising New Berry, which ap- 
parently has every quality demanded in a commercial, as well 
as a home berry. 
NUT TREES « Profitable and Ornamental 
BLACK WALNUT. Just as the cotton gin made cotton an important 
crop, the nut cracking machine is commercializing Black Walnuts. 
Cracking plants are now buying Walnuts and paying good prices. 
While the trees are paying dividends with nut crops, they are 
also growing into valuable timber. An acre planted now to Black 
Walnuts within a few years will become profitable. After the 
trees are well established, the land can be devoted to grazing, as 
blue grass does well under Walnut Trees. 


English Walnut 

THOMAS IMPROVED BLACK WALNUT. A grafted, improved 
strain of the Black Walnut, producing large, thin shell nuts which 
crack out a larger percent of kernels than the average Walnut. 
ENGLISH WALNUT. Old trees scattered through the East, hav- 
ing proven profitable, are encouraging commercial plantings, as 
well as plantings for home use. The Wnglish Walnut has been bear- 
ing here in the Shenandoah Valley—bearing annual crops of nuts 
just as good in quality as the California nuts and sell for as much. 
Two trees on a farm within a few miles of Waynesboro have paid 
the taxes on the 50 acre farm for the past 15 years. Our stook of 
nursery grown trees was propagated from these two noted trees. 
FILBERT or HAZELNUT. Apparently adapted to soil and cli- 
mate where the Black Walnut is grown. A small, shrub-like tree 
which produces here in the East nuts of equal quality to those 
growp on the Pacific Coast. 
JAPANESE WALNUT. A rank, vigorous grower and begins bear- 
ing from 3 to 5 years. Nuts are pointed and have reasonably 
thin hulls. 
BLIGHT RESISTANT CHINESE CHESTNUT. Larger than our 
native American Chestnut. Just as sweet and more prolific. Starts 
bearing young. Usually three large nuts to each bur. Burs begin 
to burst from 4 to 6 weeks earlier than American Chestnuts. Are 
being planted in groves for the nuts and also for reforestation pur- 
poses replacing the old American Chestnuts which were wiped 
out by blight. 
PAPER SHELL PECAN. Large, oblong thin shell nuts. Trees make 
comfortable shade and bear profitable crops but are not recom- 
mended north of Virginia. 
The home orchard is incomplete without Nut Trees.
