STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberries will produce more fruit to the square 
rod and in less time than any other fruit we can grow.. 
They grow wild in every section of the country from 
Alaska to Florida, It has always been a mystery to 
me why so many people do not raise this most re- 
freshing and early fruit, A few square rods will pro- 
duce all that one family can possibly use. 
Price, per bunch of 25 plants, 75¢ 
Per 100, $2.25; Per 1000, $20.00 
PREMIER P.--This is the most popular early straw- 
berry of the day. The berries are very large, long 
pointed, light red in color and present a good appear- 
ance inthe basket and in market. No other early 
strawberry is anything near equal to it in productive- 
ness, 
DUNLAP--A perfect-flowered variety thatfruits with- 
out being planted with other kinds. Is proving to be 
the most valuable Strawberry yet introduced, and is 
now planted all over the United States, and is a favor- 
ite everywhere. The berries are very large, bright, 
red, well formed and highly flavored. Being a great 
plant producer, it does not require as many plants to 
set a row as other kinds. 
MASTODON (Everbearing variety)--A lately intro- 
duced Everbearing variety of very large size and ex- 
cellent flavor. We have tested this new variety and 
find it the best of this class. With us it produceda 
good crop of large berries right through the hottest 
and driest part of the summer. It commences to 
fruit at the same time as other kinds and continues 
throughout the entire season until freezing weather. 
A very shy plant producer, and should be planted 
closer than other kinds. Plants should be set about 
16 inches apart each way, as they do notspread much. 
The past season we enjoyed freshberries from our 
Mastodon plants from August until into November. 
Price per 25 plants, $1.25; per 100, $4.50 
GEM (EVERBEARING)--Gem is the only everbearing 
variety that will make plants freely. The berry is 
dark, red, pointed--about the size of Dunlap, of ex- 
cellent quality and has a sweet tartflavor. Gem com- 
mences to bear about 60 days after planted, and will 
continue to do so all summer and up until cold wea- 
ther sets in. It can be grown on soil where an ordin- 
ary everbearing would be a failure. Price per 25, 
$1.25; per 100, $4.50
