STRAWBERRIES 
_ Weare pricing strawberry plants only at postpaid 
prices. All orders for them will be shipped separately 
as we can not usually start shipping them till nearly 
May first, and the plants are likely to be damaged 
if packed in with other goods. 
YEAGER’S DRY WEATHER (See inside front cover). 
Bred and first distributed by Dr. Yeager from 
Fargo. All who have tried it have found it to be 
the most drouth resistant of all strawberries. It 
is, too, cold resistant, a good producer of very high 
quality fruit, but is not a good shipper. A home 
garden berry produced especially for the Great 
Plains. An everbearing sort. Price: 25, $1.00; 
50, $2.25; 100, $4.00. 
PROGRESSIVE. We still feel that this is one of the 
best everbearing strawberries available for the 
Northwest. Itis very hardy, productive and of delicious qual- 
ity. Usually bears in June and again in August and Septem- 
ber. Most.of the newer sorts winterkill badly. Price: 25, 50c; 
50, 90c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $13.00. 
DUNLAP. We have found the Dunlap to be the best all-round 
June-bearing variety for our climate. The vine is tough, the 
foliage bright and heavy. Runners form rapidly. The fruit is 
borne bounteously, and the berries are regular in shape and 
delicious in quality. They are large, bright red, and good 
keepers. Excellent for canning. Price: 25, 40c; 50, 75c; 100, 
$1.00; 1000, $8.50. 
GRAPES 
NATIVE WILD (Vitis riparia). To insure gm», 
fruit several should be planted as eachf 
plant is of a single sex. <A fast grower, 
valuable as an ornamental climber, noted 
for the wonderful fragrance of its blos- 
soms in June, and for the value of the fruit 
for jams, jellies and grape juice. Strong 
young plants. Sturdy seedlings, each 18c; 
ee ; doz., $1.50; 50, $5.50; 100, $8.50. Post-

BETA. One of several hybrids between Concord and the wild grape, produced in Min- 
nesota a number of years ago. The Alpha is of the same group. The hardiest tame 
grapes so far introduced—the fruit is blue-black, of medium size, with a pleasant, “=™—s< 
aromatic flavor. Should be planted only in sheltered spots where they bear well. Beta Grape

doz., $3.30. : 
ALPHA. A sister of the Beta which it very closely resembles. Possibly a little better adapted to the 
heavy black soils. Fruit is perhaps a little sweeter. Size a trifle smaller than the Concord. Kach,
