GEM-Big Profits 
Two Crops a Year 
Plant this spring—pick all sum- 
mer—you’ll get back the price paid 
for the plants, and most important, 
a big profit besides. 'You’ll harvest 
another fine crop the following June 
—two crops in one year. Unlike most 
everbearers, this variety is an ex- 
cellent plant maker. The plants are 
very healthy and vigorous, produc- 
ing an abundance of runners, which 
bear fruit the first season. The ber- 
ries are large, bright red, firm, 
roundish in shape, rather tart but of 
good flavor and quality. Good for 
dessert or culinary uses. Very at- 
tractive in appearance and sell well 
on the fresh fruit markets. Our 
original stock was secured direct 
from the originator. Price: 25 for 
90c; 50 for $1.50; 100 for $2.50; 
250 for $5.00; 500 for $9.00; 1,000 
for $17.00.

EVERBEARING 
This is the latest of the New 
Everbearing strawberries being of- 
fered. Those who have tried it 
state they prefer this variety to any 
Everbearer introduced to date. It 
also bears 60 to 90 days after plant- 
ing, berries all summer and fall, 
followed by a fine crop the follow- 
ing June. Plants are hardy, and 
produces runners freely. Berries 
are large, long and pointed—in ap- 
pearance it looks like the Mission- 
ary berry that is so well known in 
the south. Berries are dark in color 
and perfectly red clear through— 
no green tips. Fruit is firm and very 
sweet. As the supply of this variety 
is very limited, would advise placing 
your order early so as to avoid dis- 
appointment. Price: 12 for 95c; 25 
for $1.75; 50 for $3.25; 100 for 
$6.00.

Dresden 
Bridg:nan, Michigan 
A fine variety of excep- 
Sta. Another outstanding midseason va- 
riety that cannot be beat—the berry for 
the central and northern states! Makes a 
very strong plant growth—produces enor- 
mous crops—as much as 16,000 quarts per 
light red in color. 
Tests have proven that it will produce 
as much as 12% more quarts than Pre- 
mier, which would make it the ideal berry 
for the gardener who has only a small 
amount of space.

= This berry was originated 
O iNmson by John Daley, of Berrien 
Dn COUNTY. It is a cross between 
Premier and Washington, combining all the good 
points of both parents into this one splendid variety. 
Berries are extra large, and retain their size until the 
last picking. Color is a bright, cardinal-red. Ripens 
shortly after Premier, and is still fruiting with the 
late kinds. Is an-extra heavy producer; excellent 
plant maker—thrives on any good berry soil. Very 
hardy. This variety has been fruited for 4 years, and 
can guarantee it to be one of the best—you will take 
no chance by planting the New Robinson and the old 
reliable Premier—2 great varieties, which will cover 
the entire strawberry season. Stock is very limited— 
order early. 
Price: 25 for 85c; 50 for $1.50; 100 for $2.50; 
250 for $5.00; 500 for $9.00; 1,000 for $17.00.
