greatest early money crop. There should be a strawberry 
field on every farm and a strawberry garden in every back 
yard. No crop will yield greater returns for the money — 
invested. Strawberries are the ideal fruit, and the surplus 
can be disposed of at a handsome profit. Plant strawberries —

As an accommodation to our customers we have made . 
arrangements with a prominent strawberry grower to fill 
orders for strawberry plants. We receive many requests each 
year for this type of plant, and have now made arrangements 
which we are sure will be satisfactory to our customers. We 
are now able to furnish the samé high quality in strawberry 
- plants that we furnish in fruit trees. 
Strawberry plants are easy to grow, quick to produce, and 
should be in every home orchard or garden. They may be 
planted in the home orchard in between the rows of trees, 
occupying idle space and will quickly pay for the entire 
planting, Strawberries are quickest to bear of all fruits. 
Everbearing varieties will often produce some fruit the first 
year, and all varieties will bear the next year after planting. 
Most growers prefer spring planting for strawberries. - 
Strawberries may be had in an assortment of varieties, 
but we do not recommend more than a sufficient number 
of varieties to cover the season. The following varieties 
will enable you to make a selection that will furnish berries 
of the highest quality throughout the strawberry season. — 
All the strawberry plants offered’ by us are self-pollenizing. 
Blakemore (Early). Blakemore produces extra early fruit of 
bright red color, and is perhaps the best shipping variety. 
It produces enormous quantities of fine quality fruit. In- 
great demand by packers; ideal for cold packing. We 
recommend it as a most satisfactory berry for general 
planting, especially in the South. Our Blakemore plants 
are of the yellows-free strain. - 
Premier (Early). This very early and standard variety has 
stood the test; still one of the most widely planted varieties. 
A great money-maker with an early crop of fruit, bringing 
top prices. We find it very healthy and deep-rooted. An 
excellent producer of large, bright red berries, which are of | 
aan texture. Recommended for home use or commercial 
sales... 
Dorsett (Early). A new variety introduced by the United 
States Department of Agriculture. Big, solid beauty that 
is one of the very best money-makers. Extra early, but 
immune to frost, drought, and excessive rain. Berries keep, 
ship, and hold color well. sDeliciously sweet, fine canner. 
Majestic (Plant Patent No. 345). We consider Majestic 
the best of the newer June-bearing varieties for home use; 
easily grown, outstanding for its large-size berries, which are 
deep scarlet red to the core. Fruit stems stand upright, 
keeping the berries clean for easy picking. Majestic is 
widely adapted to soil and climate, and to date no other — 
variety has equaled its bearing record. The plant has a — 
vigorous growing, dark green foliage, with heavy root sys-. 
_ tem which provides a capacity for a large yield. The high fr 
sugar content of the Majestic variety makes it one of the | 
finest for the table and canning. Extremely hardy and easily — + 
grown. Recommended for quick freezing. 
Gem (Giant Everbearing). Even without its everbearlaa, Phe 
qualities, the Gem is a good berry, making in the spring a 
normal yield of firm, sweet, large, glossy, dark 
red berries, =.
