STRAWBERRIES 





BANNER—A variety that does well almost any- 
where. Produces big, fine looking berries of ex- 
ceptional flavor and always dependable. An early 
variety and therefore very good for commercial 
purposes. While it produces runners, the many 
merits of the berry justify the space it takes.

The Famous RUNNERLESS Everbearing Variety 
This is unquestionably the greatest advance in 
strawberry culture in the history of the nur- 
sery business. Here is a true RUNNERLESS 
strawberry that is EVERBEARING, too. 
Plants develop from the root, increasing 
in size right along and making new 
growth that keeps right on producing ber-: 
ries. And the berries are big, luscious, fine 
tasting, that literally melt in your mouth. 
This is certainly a big advantage for the 
home gardener who doesn’t have room for 
plants that throw out runners, and also for com- 
mercial growers who want berries all summer 
long. . 
We so!d a lot of Rock Hill Strawberries last year, but 
we still could not meet the demand of the late buy- 
ers, and as plants will be scarce again this year, we 
urge you to place your order early. 
$1.75. per dozen; 25 plants for $3.25; 
50 plants $6.00; 100 plants $11.00

commercial variety. Big yields and delicious fla-

BLUEBERRIES 
Blueberry growing is fast becoming a large and impor- 
tant industry in several of the eastern states and a dec- 
ade of experimenting has proved that climatic condi- 
tions on the West Coast are as well, if not better suited 
to the cultivation of this delicious fruit. 
SOIL REQUIREMENTS: An acid soil, rich in leaf mold and with an 
abundance of moisture throughout the growing season, is best for 
success in blu2berry culture. For a small home garden, suitable 
soil can easily be prepared by working leaf mold and rotted sawdust 
or commercial peat into the ground. 
While blueberries do well in partially shady locations, full sun is 
preferable, as the fruit ripens earlier, more evenly and the sugar 
content of the berries is higher. High summer temperatures will not 
injure blueberries providing the plants do not suffer from lack of 
moisture. Blueberry plants thrive and fruit abundantly from sea 
level to an altitude of several thousand feet. 
Blueberries generally ripen the latter part of June and the picking 
scason continues until late August, so that berries are available 
for a period of over six weeks and do not have to be picked at one 
time. 
And my, what wonderful pies they make. So plant a few bushes for 
canning or for pies, or if you want to go into growing on a com- 
mercial basis, plant several rows of them. The average price per 
12 pint crate received on the wholesale market over a period of ten 
years was $4.00 per crate. Plants have been known to live and 
fruit for fifty years and more. They make excellent shrubs for use 
in the shrub border, having beautiful foliage and flowers.
