(E) Early (M) Midseason (L) Late 
BLAKEMORE (E) Originated and recommended by the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. Berries bluntly conic, good market size; rarely 
white-tipped, with solid center, small seeds, firm flesh, tough skin. 
Excellent flavor, aromatic, acid, with high pectin or gelatinizing con- 
tent. The color is glossy light red, developing quite evenly on both 
upper and lower sides, only slightly changed by holding or canning. 
Prefers the heavier types of soil. 
CATSKILL (M) A thoroughly tested New York variety, adopted in 17 
Middle and Northern states. It is so productive it needs thinning. 
Very large fruits; light red from first to last. Quality is excellent. 
DORSETT. This new introduction has taken the Atlantic berry growers 
by storm, and is becoming one of the most popular and respected 
in the Middle West. Its fruiting season is early and profitably con- 
tinuous, yielding bumper crops which bring instant market accept- 
ance at the very top price. The berry is uniformly large, full, elon- 
gated with rounded tip. Color is an attractive pinkish red, unusual 
flavor, mild sub-acid. Does exceptionally well on heavy soil, sur- 
passes other varieties for sweetness during prolonged rainy season. 
FAIRFAX. Another new kind which runs with Dorsett; in many ways 
similar, but with sufficient differences to warrant growing both. It 
produces a heavy crop of berries better than average size, deeply 
conical in shape, a more brilliant red than Dorsett and of firmer 
texture; season about the same. The flavor is sweetly luscious. 
GIBSON (M) Strong grower with good roots and abundant foliage, 
exceedingly productive. Berries extra large, choice flavor, dark 
glossy red clear through, follows Premier in bearing season. 
H IRIN. (L) Fruit is bright glossy red, flavor is delicious; strong 
heavy stems which hold their fruit well above the soil. A good 
yielder and will do well in Northern states. Ripens late, which puts 
it past late spring frosts. 
PREMIER. Of smooth evenly conical form, and large; its color the 
commanding glossy red which sells on sight, aided artistically by the 
cap which remains green after picking. Quality unsurpassed; pro- 
duction greatest of all earlies; plant vigorous, healthy, strongly 
reproductive. : 
SAMPLE (imperfect) (L) A standard late sort for both home and 
market. Large dark-colored berries in profusion, of uniform size. 
Should be planted with a “perfect’’ companion; never alone. Very 
Productive. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. (E£) Rampant runner, should be restricted in 
production of plants. Fruit good size, beautiful bright red, glossy; 
firm, splendid keeper. 
WM. BELT. (M) Vigorous, thrifty, heavy plant, producing large 
crops under good common matted row culture. Berries extra large, 
conical, quite uniform in shape, brilliant glossy red. 
EVERBEARING VARIETIES 
These varieties will often start bearing 4 or 5 weeks after planting. 
Postpaid, 25 Plants $2.00; 100, $5.25; 1000 by Express $25.00 
GEM. The newest important introduction in the “everbearing’’ group, 
and by all reports creates a greater usefulness and value to that 
class. It is credited with bearing within 60 days after the normal 
spring planting; carrying on during the summer, with an immense 
crop, ending only with the first frosts. Sparkling glossy red fruits 
uniformly large, that carry and keep better than others, due to the 
tough skin and unusual firmness of its flesh. The flavor is fine. 
Three crops — big ones — spring, summer and fall. What more 
can you ask of a strawberry? 
MASTODON. For a number of years Mastodon: has had a clear field, 
safely outranking all predecessors. Despite certain keen recent com- 
petition by newer introductions, Mastodon remains a top notch ever- 
bearer. It is of immense size, an almost incredible cropper, of choice 
quality, and the strongest grower ever developed. More productive 
than most June bearers, its fall pickings are sufficient from but a 
few plants.
