EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES PHOTOGRAPHED OCT. 15th, 1942 
Gem 

Everything is on the go June ist—the weather 
is right, the soil warm and everything grows 
when put into the soil. You plant corn then, 
you set out tomatoes and sow all the tender 
vegetable seeds then, and why not set out your 
strawberry plants then? We do, and we hope 
our friends will try our plan this year, even 
if only on a limited scale. We have practiced 
this for years. 
How to Prepare Bordeaux Mixture 
The 5-5-50 Formula 
Slack five pounds of burnt lime (unslacked) 
in 25 gallons of water. Dissolve 5 pounds of 
sulphate of copper (bluestone, or blue vitriol) 
by suspension, in 25 gallons of water. Use 
boiling hot water. When both are thoroughly 
dissolved, pour them together into a_ barrel. 
holding 50 gallons or more. It takes three per- 
sons to do this. The two liquids must be 
poured in evenly, not one poured in and then 
the other, but so they will blend equally, 
for gallon. While the two persons are pouring 
in the vitriol and lime waters, a third person 
should thoroughly agitate the mixture in the 
barrel with a paddle, so that it will be equally 
blended. If the two containers don’t hold 25 
gallons each, more water may be added after 
the blending, to make up the 50 gallons, but 
it must be added at once and the mixture used 
for spraying as soon as convenient. 
For killing bugs and insects add 1 lb. Ar- 
senate of Lead or Paris Green to 50 gallons of 
the Bordeaux Mixture. 
How to Get Transplanted Plants 
It is cheaper to get ordinary spring dug 
strawberry plants in the early spring, say in 
March, April or early May, and heel or trench 
them in yourself. You save at least half the 
cost in this way. It is just as profitable for 
nurserymen to sell the ordinary plants when 
they are first dug in the spring, as it is to sell 
transplanted plants in the summer at increased 
prices. Plants that have been trenched in, 
especially if they have had to be taken up seyv- 
eral times, cleaned and retrenched, cannot be 
produced and sold at anywhere near the low 
price asked for ordinary spring dug plants. 
Transplanted Raspberry, Blackberry 
Other Fruit Plants 
We not only can supply strawberry plants 
all through the growing season, from June to 
November, but raspberry, blackberry, currant, 
gooseberry, dewberry, blueberry and grape 
vines as well. When we get through our regu- 
lar spring shipping season, we line out our 
raspberry and other left over plants in rows 
with the plans set closely together. These are 
what we call green transplanted plants. In a 
week or so after they. are set, they start to 
grow, and then can be taken up and shipped, 
with the result that they start right off, and in 
most cases, do quite as well as if they had been 
set in early spring. We shipped thousands of 
such plants last summer with eminent success. 
Raspberries, blackberries, dewberries,  elder- 
berries and some other plants can be trans- 
and 
Price 25 cents (which may be deducted from first order for plants). 
gallon 
Supreme (Berri-Supreme) 
planted any favorable time all summer, but we 
do not advise setting cut grapes, currants and 
gooseberries after they get in full leaf. Better 
wait till October for these. 
These transplanted strawberry, raspberry 
and other plants are a boon to late planters, 
who for one reason or another, have been un- 
able to plant in the regular planting season 
of March, April and May. Price of the trans- 
planted raspberries, etec., same as for regular 
2 year transplants. See prices in catalog.

and they are large and fine. 
(Rey.) T. A. Jordan 
Livingston, N. J., Sept. 19, 1942 
I received my plants. They look fine and Il 
appreciate your sending me some extra plants. 
; Bertha L. Nichols 
East Chatham, N. Y., July 28, 1942 
The everbearing strawberry plants purchased 
of you last spring are doing splendidly. Would 
like more. 
Wesley HE. Park 
Schuylerville, N. Y., Aug. 26, 1942 
All the berry plants you: sent us are doing 
fine. 
Alice E. Viele 
Bast Walpole, Mass., Aug. 4, 1942 
Strawberry plants came Monday. It was 
raining. I planted them and did not lose one 
plant. : 
Mrs. Chas. Mutch 
Clarence Center, N. Y., Sept. 14, 1942 
Received strawberry plants in good shape. 
Elmer F. Hinsberger 
Greenwich, Conn., Sept. 15, 1942 
The 300 strawberry plants were received in 
good shape. They have taken hold and grow- 
ing fine. 
John W. Lee 
Kerkonkson, N. Y., August 23, 1942 
Every one of the 100 transplanted strawberry 
plants are safe and alive. I intend to buy sev- 
eral-hundred next June. 
J. R. Orgel 
Minnesota No. 1166 
Nedrow, N. Y., August 17, 1942 
I sent to you for everbearing strawberries 
and asparagus. It was late, but I think they 
are doing fine. 
Mrs. W. H. Rood 
White Plains, N. Y., Oct. 5, 1942 
Recently I bought 100 strawberry plants 
from you... You sent more than the 100. They 
arrived safely and in spite of the hot weather, 
we have lost only one plant. 
H. W. Rickett 
River Edge Manor, N. J., Sept. 24, 1942 
First let me compliment you for the fine 
strawberry plants, for they were well rooted 
and a pleasure to plant. 
Walter L. Muller 
Meriden, Conn., July 15, 1942 
You may ship me, so I will get them July 
25 to 27, 50 transplanted strawberry plants, 
your own choice. The 50 I received about four 
weeks ago are doing fine. They are in blossom 
and to date, I have not lost any, although the 
ants tried to eat them up. The manager of 
the ———— Nursery laughed at me and told me 
that I could not do anything resetting straw- 
berry plants after April 20th. I wish he could 
see my plants. They certainly are fine ones. 
Geo. B. Clough 
Andover, Conn., Oct. 9, 1941 
Mr. L. J. Farmer 
Dear sir: 
The strawberry plants ordered of you in 
September arrived in fine shape. The absence 
of rain prompted me to follow your suggestions 
and they were heeled in. After 10 days, we 
had a government prediction of rain, and it 
had all the appearance of rain here, and the 
plants were set. There was no rain. We have 
had no rain here since September 3rd, and I 
have felt much apprehension about the plants 
set. Yesterday I made a very careful inspec- 
tion and found that out of the 1,000 plants, 
there were but two that were gone entirely. 
Of course, most of them have not grown very 
much, but they are alive and will rapidly re- 
spond to moisture when it does rain Cae 
think this emphasizes again the importance of 
taking your transplants, for, had I set ordinary 
runner plants, they could not have survived 
this dry period . I recall having from you 
several years ago, while at New Britain, some 
black raspberries, and backberries, from both 
of which I made fine profits. 
With these magnificently rooted plants that 
you have sent me, I shall hope to produce suf- 
ficient berries for home use, and I can but feel 
that you have done your part. I expect to order 
from you later in the month some blackberries 
and raspberries. 
Very truly yours, 
Clifton E. Davenport

is typical of many letters we receive from old 
customers like Mr. Davenport. Every few days 
someone comes into our office and tells of re- 
sults they, their father, or grandfather, had 30, 
40 and even 50 years ago.)
