GEMZATA— the Outstanding Everbear- 
er of All Time. This remarkable Ever- 
bearer is a cross between Gem and Way- 
zata. It has the runner making ability 
of the Gem, and the dark green foliage 
and heavy fruiting qualities of Wayzata. 
GEMZATA is an exceptionally heavy 
producer of large, deliciously flavored 
and attractive fruit. This past summer 
GEMZATA produced more berries 
throughout the prolonged drought than 
other Everbearers, and maintained the 
size of its fruit exceptionally well. It 
has the firmness of the Gem, making it 
the leading Everbearer for shipment to 
distant markets. It seems to thrive in 
all types of soils, even where other va- 
rieties fail. A most ideal variety for 
either home or market use. 
GEM. 4 most consistent producer of sum- 
mer and fall berries. Fruit is very at- 
tractive, averages quite large in size, 
with a beautiful light red color and 
good flavor, mild and sweet. Its excep- 
tional firmness and ability to retain its 
light color until very ripe will please 
the most critical grower. 
MASTODON. «4 big, dark rea, glossy 
berry of delicious flavor. Will ripen its 
first crop of berries 90 days after 
spring planting. Will fruit continuously 
until freezing weather, and also yield a 
full crop the following spring. 
MAJESTIC—piant Patent No. 345. Be- 
cause it produces more berries per plant 
than any variety known today, this 
startling variety is rapidly becoming 
the leading June bearing variety in the 
United States. Being widely adapted to 
soil and climate, it has no equal. When 
grown in comparative tests with other 
leading varieties, Majestic has yielded 
from two to three times the quantity of 
berries produced by other kinds. Berries 
are large and bright, of firm texture, 
holding their size until the end of the 
season. It has a long blooming season, 
commencing to ripen a few days later 
than Premier. Try MAJESTIC this year 
—you’ll like it. 
BLACK STRAWBERRY. 4 perry 
unique as to coloring, and of very dis- 
tinctive flavor. Color is such a deep red 
that it appears nearly black. Berries are 
large, nearly round, and of finest qual- 
ity. Flavor sweet and delicious. Ripens 
midseason.

CATSKILL. A fine, vigorous plant, pro- 
ducing exceptionally large, bright red 
berries. Begins ripening mid-season, 
but crop is so large and borne over such 
a long period that Catskill will still be 
producing nice berries when some later 
kinds are nearly gone. 
DORSETT. Berries are very firm, and 
of brilliant light red color. Of attractive 
shape, and fine quality. Very productive. 
A vigorous and healthy plant maker. 
ae early as Premier. Very frost resist- 
ant. 
GRAND CHAMPION—r he 40-pay 
Fruiting Berry. Lasts over this period 
on account of its continual blooming. 
Starts to bear with the earliest, and 
bears throughout the whole Strawberry 
season. Berries are large, bright red; 
excellent flavor and quality. 
LATE GIANT—‘The xatest of the Late. 
Doesn’t begin to blossom until other va- 
rieties are fruiting—so late, in fact, 
that there is no waiting between straw- 
berries and raspberries. Berries are 
dark red all the way through; honey- 
sweet, with the flavor of a wild Straw- 
berry. A giant in size. 
NEET. 4 new variety closely resembling 
Premier, but hardier, larger, better fla- 
vored and invariably producing more 
fruit. Will also produce a fine fruit 
crop the second, and even the third year 
after planting. Berries are large, per- 
fectly formed, delicious sweet flavor, 
good quality, firm texture. A sure de- 
pendable variety, yielding big 
every year.

PREMIER— still the Leading Early Mar- 
ket Berry. A great money-maker; as 
nearly frost proof as any strawberry 
can be. Unusually healthy, with deep, 
heavy roots enabling it to mature a full 
erop of berries even during prolonged 
dry weather. Large, bright red, firm 
berries, of fine texture and flavor. 
SENATOR DUNLAP—The Old Stand- 
by. The hardiest and toughest variety 
grown, producing a fruit crop anywhere, 
even in the most unfavorable locations. 
Fruit dark red, of prime quality and 
flavor. An ideal shipper, and one of the 
best for canning.
