MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
FAIRFAX (Perfect) — The Fairfax variety is very large 
and dark red in color and has a very delicious flavor. 
With us it does not make as good a row of plants as our 
other varieties nor does it yield the quantity of berries that 
the Howard:does. However, with plenty of water or on fairly 
damp soils, it will produce more plants. 
The fruiting season begins about a week after Howard. 
Prices: Same as Howard No. 17. 
Recommended for Home Gardeners with Heavy Soil. 
ABERDEEN (Perfect) — This variety seems to be a fine 
running mate for Howard No. 17. It is somewhat later than 
the early berries and produces a large very bright berry until 
late in the season. It is a prolific plant-maker with clean, 
healthy foliage standing well off the ground. We have tried it 
on different soils and wherever planted seems to be at home. 
I have seen this variety planted on fairly heavy soil. It 
was bearing very large, bright berries well after most berries 
were gone. It seems to give quality berries after Howard No. 
17 and Dorsett have gone by. 
Prices: Same as Howard 17. 
Recommended for Home Gardeners. 
LATE VARIETIES 
HEBRON (Perfect)—This is another of the new varieties 
originated by Dr. Jones at the New Haven Experiment Station. 
It produces a long, pointed berry with a very green husk. 
It commences to yield fairly late in the season and produces a 
very fine crop. It has been the first late berry which has 
satisfied us for yields. Although this variety is not as late 
as the Pearl variety which we have sold for years as our 
standard late berry, it produces a better quality berry and a 
much greater yield. Therefore, we are recommending this year 
that you plant Hebron for late berries. 
This variety has produced fine wide rows for us. We have 
for this spring’s sales a fine lot of nice plants. We think you 
will be pleased with them. 
Prices: Same as Howard No. 17. 
Recommended for All Growers. 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
GEM (Perfect)—We have found that the Gem everbearer 
will produce more plants and berries here on our farm than any 
other everbearing variety. If you want berries in September 
and October, plant a few of this variety. 
It is best with the everbearers to keep the blossoms picked 
off until about July 1st or 15th. This gives the plant a chance 
to grow in size and be ready to produce more berries. 
Contrary to the impression you may get from some cata- 
logues, we find that the everbearing plants will not produce as 
many berries the next June as the regular June-bearing va- 
rieties. — 
We haveionly a few of these for this spring’s sales. Be 
sure to state if you wish substitutes if we are sold out. 
- Price: 25 for $1.00; 50 for $2.00. Not more than 50 to a 
customer. 
Recommended only as a novelty.
