Senator Dunlap grows on all types of soil and in all climates. 
A. good producer and a fine berry. 
. WAYZATA EVERBEARING —— 
This variety seldom makes runners so the entire strength goes to pro- 
duce large crops of very sweet and delicious cardinal-red berries. An 
easy variety to grow ‘and ideal for the small garden as they need be set 
only one foot apart. A sure bearer, even during hottest weather. If 
planted in April, you can start to pick berries in July and almost con- 
tinuously from then until October or November. 
MASTODON EVERBEARING 
18 Berries Fill a Quart Box 
A great money maker, as it will 
produce an enormous crop of big ber- 
ties during the summer and fall 
months with just ordinary care: Our 
thrifty plants set in the spring will 
produce a crop of berries in 90 days 
and continue through summer and 
fall until stopped by freezing 
weather. 
18 or 20 berries will often fill a 
quart box. They are rich glossy red, 
of firm and solid texture, and de- 
licious in flavor. A small planting 
will keep the home table supplied 
throughout the summer and fall. A 
large planting will reap hundreds of 
dollars for the farmer, 
Ss 
a Leading Market 
G EM Everbearer 
The Gem is one of the leading 
market varieties. The fruit is well 
shaped and uniformly large. It is 
sparkling red in color, rich, 
and exceedingly sweet. Un- 
surpassed for keeping quali- 
ties and the firmness of the 
fruit permits its being han- 
dled for long-distance ship- 
ping, even during hot weath- 
er. Plant this spring and 
have ripe berries in just a few 
Mastodon Everbearing weeks, 
A BARREL OF STRAWBERRIES 
Wherever there is space in a sunny spot for a barrel, enough strawberries for a small family 
n be grown. ; 
~ | Use Oleun: sturdy barrel. Drill several 1-inch holes in the bottom. Stand a section of porous 
_ drain-pipe (or a 3-ft. section of stove-pipe punched full of holes) in the middle of the barrel 
over the holes. Fill it with coarse gravel or small stones. Then drill a row of 1¥%-inch holes 
around the barrel about 6 inches from the bottom and 8 inches apart. Drill successive rows at 
-inch intervals up the side of the barrel, making not over 25 holes in all (Strawberry plants 
- come in bunches of 25). Mix good garden loam and well-rotted manure or compost thoroughly 
d fill the barrel ta, the first row of holes. Place a Strawberry plant in each hole, spreading the 
ots fan-wise on the soil inside. Then fill to the second row of holes, repeat the planting, and 
on. : 
If drain-tile is used for the center, add new sections and fill with gravel or stones until at 
t level with the top of the barrel. Watering will be done through this drain-tile or stove-pipe.

_ Victory Everbearing 
Strawberry 
The new Victory Strawberry heads the list of all Everbearing 
varieties for both quality of fruit and productiveness. It is a 
cross between the well known Gem and Wayzata varieties and 
was first introduced under the name Gemzata. Jumbo-sized 
berries are produced throughout the summer and fall in greater 
abundance than any other variety we know of. 
A triumph in Strawberry breeding. The mammoth berries 
are quite uniform in size and color, sweet, of good texture and 
firm enough to stand shipping. 
The plants of this new, heavy yielding everbearer are very 
vigorous growers. Plants set in March, April or May start 
bearing in July or August and continue producing large fruit 
in quantity during the summer and fall months. The plants 
also make new runner plants which bear fruit the first season. 
You will then harvest another fine crop the following June, 
just as you would with Dunlap or other standard varieties. 
If you want to plant a variety for both fresh berries and 
canning—either for the home garden or market—we recom- 
mend Victory. Be sure to plant some this year in your Victory 
Garden.
