STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Luscious large strawberries are easy to grow if you get good plants. Set 
out only strong, freshly dug plants of the best varieties and the rest is 
easy. Merely give them ordinary cultivation to keep the weeds out, proper 
fertilization, and you will have fine strawberries. 
Our plants are fresh dug and are guaranteed to reach the pur- 
chaser in good condition. If any should be damaged on the way we 
will replace them without charge if notified within two days after the 
receipt of the plants. 
We cannot be responsible for the plants living after they are planted as 
this depends on how they are planted and soil and weather conditions 
over which we have no control. 

Strawberry plants should be set out in the spring as early as the ground 
can be gotten in good condition. The land should be thoroughly worked 
and well manured if possible. The rows should be 3% feet apart and the 
plants 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows. 
To set the plants, make a wedge-shaped hole in the soil with a spade 
and place the strawberry plant in so that the roots spread out fanwise. 
The crown of the plant should be level with the surface of the ground. 
Firm the soil very tightly around the roots to be certain that there is no 
open space left under them. They should be firmly fixed in the soil and 
not easily pulled out. 
All fruit stems should be picked off before the plants are set and the 
plants should be cultivated and hoed clean all summer. The plants will 
produce runners and by early fall you should have a closely packed row 
18 to 20 inches wide. The following spring you will have a large crop of 
fine berries. 
Orders for plants will be entered at any time and the plants will be 
sent at the proper time for setting them out. We cannot send plants to the 
Pacific Coast or to the Gulf Coast States as strawberry plants cannot be 
successfully transported so far and also we cannot furnish them at the 
time they should be set out in these localities. We cannot send plants 
into Canada. 
Write for prices on larger lots.

PREMIER. This berry has long been a favorite of the early varieties 
and is now the most widely grown strawberry in the East. The berries 
are large, deep bright red all over and are of fine quality. They ripen 
very early and the plants are strong, healthy and extremely productive. 
On account of the large size and handsome appearance the Premier 
berries are always in demand, making this variety a most profitable 
one to raise for market and roadside sales. Perfect flowers.

FAIRFAX. The berries are large and firm with a most delicious flavor. 
The color is dark red at the picking state and gets quite dark as they 
get older. For growers who prefer a dark colored berry we recommend 
the Fairfax highly. The yield is excellent, and in our trials it has proved 
superior in size and quality to all other varieties. Perfect flowers.

developed at Geneva, has found great favor as a kind to prolong the 
season. It starts to ripen medium early and lasts for a long time. The 
berries are firm, bright red in color and of very good quality. The 
plants are vigorous, with plenty of runners. You will find this variety 
a welcome addition to your strawberry bed. Perfect flowers.

“In 1940 I purchased one of your Special Home Garden Collections of 
100 strawberry plants. Last year we picked 123 quarts of the most delicious 
strawberries we have ever eaten. That seemed wonderful to us as we really 
had no idea as to how they should be cared for. The berries were large and 
the sweetest we've ever eaten.” 
Donald A. MacPhee, Chelmsford, Mass. Feb. 2, 1942. 

Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
You get a crop the first year! 
Everbearing varieties start to produce fruit almost as soon as the plants 
are set out. Plants set out in the Spring commence to bear ripe fruit in 
August and continue to bear until freezing weather. The following year 
they produce a crop in June, the same as the common kinds, and also 
another crop in August and September. 
Note—It is essential to set out Everbearing kinds early in the spring, 
so do not delay ordering them as they must be set early. 
When the plants are first set out the flowers should be carefully picked 
off and none allowed to produce fruit until the plants have become well 
established which will be six to eight weeks. 
GEM. An early Highly Productive New Everbearing. This new ever- 
bearing strawberry is an outstanding variety, and is far ahead of all 
other everbearing sorts. Our experience during the past few years has 
convinced us that it will outyield other kinds and the fruit harvested 
in the fall is of much better shape and more attractive. The berries are 
large in size, very uniform, bright sparkling red, and with a mild rich 
flavor. The berries are firm, stand shipping well, and sell for the highest 
prices in the market. The plants are hardy, disease resistant, and 
produce great crops of berries as well as being prolific plant producers. 
We urge you to try some of these fine berries this year.

Gem planted in April— picked in August: 
“T want to take this opportunity of congratulating you on your fine seeds 
and service. 
“IT have picked a fine crop of Gem berries from the plants you sent me in 
April. I believe you will see from your records that my father and I have 
been buying seeds from you for over 50 years.” 
Harry MacDougal, Elizabethtown, N. Y., August 25, 1942.
