“Brunes Marvels” Are Excellent | 


Eight years ago I began experimenting io see if it 
were possible to get an everbearing strawberry as 
large as the Gem or Mastadon and as sweet as the 
Wayzata, one that would set runners freely. Today 
we have several acres of such a berry. 
The Berries Are Large 
Yes, they are as large as the Wayzata and Gem 
and ripen even all over the berry; no green tips or 
part green and part ripe. A profitable berry to raise. 
Early Ripening 
The first berry to get ripe on our place, and goes 
to work about 60 days after setting out plants. 
It doesn’t take long to stem a quart of ‘“Brunes 
Marvel’’ as they are free-stem; no core left in the 
berry. Think what this means to the busy housewife 
getting berries ready to serve. 
Sweetness 
“Brunes Marvel” is truly a lump of sweetness, 
and saving of sugar in canning and serving. They 
take only half the sugar for canning, which is a big 
saving. 
Keeping Qualities 
Far ahead of other everbearers we have raised. 
Many nurseries and growers have sent us very 
good reports on this berry. 
Stand Dry Weather Better 
They go down for moisture, as the roots are ex- 
ceptionally long. One we dug measured 23134 inches. 
Heavy Foliage for Protection 
Foliage is heavy enough on our new berry that it 
helps protect the berries from sunscald and frost. 
Get started on this grand new everbearer . . it 
will pay you. 
The “Brunes Marvel” Is Different 
Often we have our customers come up to our berry 
stand and say, “Wish I could eat strawberries.” 
We ask them to try our new berry, and those that 
do, come for more and say, “these berries didn’t cause 
me any pain!’’ We have several of our tourist cus- 
tomers who haven't. been able to eat strawberries 
for years. Queer as it seems, they can eat their fill 
of the “Brunes Marvel’' without distress. 


Less Acid . . Sweeter . . They Need Less
