ANDREWS STRAWBERRY Plants 

















GEM The Most Practical 
Everbearing 
Gem a Heavy Cropper 
Gem is considered by many the most satisfactory 
everbearing Strawberry on the market. Gem bears very 
heavily—many plantings average a quart to a plant the 
first year. They get right into high gear—no wasted 
time. Gem plants set in April or May will bear the 
same year from July until winter. 
High Quality 
Gem, in addition to being highly productive, is of 
very high quality. It is of good size, light in color, 
very showy and attractive, has very fine rich flavor, 
and stands up well during shipping. 

Victory Gardens 
Gem is the perfect berry for the Victory Garden, be- 
cause of the long season of fruiting and the large num- 
ber of berries produced. Ideal for market, as it is firm 
and stands the necessary handling well. Get a good 
Strawberry bed started now. The government urges 
more fruit for better health. Quick profits can be real- 
ized from a planting of the Gem. Don’t put it off— 
this year is the year to plant! Prices, page 33-K. 
its own with 
PREMIER Premier is still holding 
many growers as the top No. 1 Straw- 
berry 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 33-K. 
DUNLAP 
The berries are medium to large, conical and often 
slightly necked, dark crimson with a deep red flesh, quality 
very good. The plants are healthy and vigorous. Very 
productive. Grows on all kinds of soil, and in extremely 
cold climates. A good variety for canning and a good 
pollinizer for pistillate varieties. Holds up a long while 
after being picked. Season a few days after Premier begins 
hearirg. Prices on page 33-K.

Minn. No. 1192 
WAYZATA Everbearing 
For the commercial grower who can water his Straw- 
berry bed and give them the care they must have, the 
Wayzata is outstanding. The berries are large and well 
shaped and, with irrigation, hold their size well through 
the season. The bright red color and high quality of 
Wayzata are retained even several days after being picked. 
The Wayzata has clean, healthy foliage and a vigorous 
root system. Its only weakness is lack of sufficient runners 
under ordinary conditions. We would not recommend 
this variety for the average home garden, but for com- 
mercial growers who can irrigate, the Wayzata will be a 
very profitable variety. Prices, page 33-K. 
CATSKILL 
A strong, vigorous grower, a sure cropper, and a real 
money-maker. We think Catskill is the very best mid- 
season Strawberry. Catskill is a very large berry, some of 
them perhaps a trifle rough, but its big size and bright 
color make it very attractive and in demand on the market. 
The quality of the berry is good, fully as good as Premier.

BEAVER 
Beaver is rapidly becoming popular on account of heavy 
yield, early season, good color and excellent shipping 
quality. The fruit is firm, and red clear through, making 
it especially good for canning, as it retains its color in 
the can. The flavor is not as high as Premier and Dunlap 
but the heavy yield and other good qualities make it a 
desirable Strawberry to plant. Beaver is recommended 
especially for sandy soil, as it appears to do better on 
sandy soils than on heavy clay. Prices on page 33-K.

BURGUNDY ::::; 
Outstanding Discovery 
Prof. Alderman says: “The Minnesota No. 1192 
Strawberry seems to be one of the outstanding discov- 
eries of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. The fea- 
tures which make it outstanding are its late maturity, 
which will considerably extend the Strawberry market- 
ing 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 im- 
perfect flowers, and it must be planted adjacent to some 
perfect flowered variety such as are commonly grown 
in this state.” It is expected that Minnesota No. 1192 
will be named and formally introduced this year. 
High Quality—Productive 
Benjamin F. Dunn, President of the Minnesota State 
Horticultural Society, says: “Its quality gives it a high 
rating for eating, canning, preserving, and freezing. 
It is very productive, blooms late, and has proved re- 
sistant to early July heat and drought.” 
Money Maker On Market 
Fred Ulrich, prominent fruit grower of 
Rochester, says: “We have grown the Min- 
nesota 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 regu- 
lar way, they taste like fresh Strawberries. 
We consider it hardier than Premier.”
