STRAWBERRY 
Strawberry plants should be set out in the spring as early as the ground 
can be gotten in good condition. The land should be thoroughly worked 
and well manured if possible. The rows should be 31% feet apart and the 
plants 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows. 
To set the plants, make a wedge-shaped hole in the soil with a spade 
and place the strawberry plant in so that the roots spread out fanwise. 
The crown of the plant should be level with the surface of the ground. 
Firm the soil very tightly around the roots to be certain that there is no 
open space left under them. They should be firmly fixed in the soil and 
not easily pulled out. 
All fruit stems should be picked off before the plants are set and the 
plants should be cultivated and hoed clean all summer. The plants will 
produce runners and by early fall you should have a closely packed row 
18 to 20 inches wide. The following spring you will have a large crop of 
fine berries. 
Our plants are fresh dug and are guaranteed to reach the pur- 
chaser in good condition. If any should be damaged on the way we 
make adjustment for them if notified within two days after the receipt of 
the plants. We cannot be responsible for the plants living after they are 
planted as this depends on how they are planted and soil and weather 
conditions over which we have no control. 
Orders for Plants will be entered at any time and the plants will be 
sent at the proper time for setting them out or as soon as we have them 
ready. 
Strawberry plants can be sent only east of the Mississippi and north of 
Tennessee. We pay transportation charges within this area. 
Note: Strawberry plants are shipped only in the spring. Our experience 
indicates that spring planting is the most successful and we do not ship 
any plants in the fall. 
PREMIER. Very Early—Enormous Crops. Premier is still the most 
reliable and productive kind of strawberry, and probably 
at least 80% of all the berries grown in the East are now Premiers. The 
plants are strong, healthy and extremely prolific. The blooms are hardy 
and there are so many of them that you always get a big crop, year 
after year. They ripen very early and bear over a considerable period. 
The berries are large, deep bright red all over and the quality is very 
fine. These fruits are firm and well shaped, and because of the hand- 
some appearance and large size, Premier is always in great demand. It 
is excellent for market or roadside stands and fine for home gardens. 
We recommend it. Perfect flowers. 
25 plants $1.25; 50 plants $2.00; 100 plants $3.25 transportation paid. 

CATSKILL. Midseason. This variety is an excellent kind to prolong the 
season. It starts to ripen a little later than Fairfax and lasts for a long 
time. The berries are firm, bright red in color and of very good quality. 
They are large in size, firm and attractive. The plants are vigorous, 
with plenty of runners, and the yields very heavy. You will find this 
variety a welcome addition to your strawberry bed. Perfect flowers.

PLANTS 

Fairfax Strawberr 1@S—Large luscious early berries: 
FAIRFAX. The berries are large and firm with a most delicious flavor. 
The color is dark red at the picking state and gets quite dark as they 
get older. For growers who prefer a dark colored berry of high quality 
we recommend Fairfax. The yields are good and when well grown on 
rich land, these berries are larger and better to eat than other varieties. 
Perfect flowers. 
25 plants $1.35; 50 plants $2.25; 100 plants $3.50 transportation paid. 
Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
Everbearing strawberries begin to produce fruit almost as soon as the 
plants are set out. If they are planted early in the spring and the blossoms 
carefully picked off for the first six or eight weeks, they will bear fruit in 
August and September of the first year. Next spring they will bear in 
June the same as the regular kinds and again in the fall, giving you a full 
supply even out of season. 
GEM. An Early Highly Productive New Everbearing. This variety 
is far better than other everbearing sorts, as the fall crops are 
larger and the fruit are of better shape and more attractive. The berries 
are large in size, very uniform, bright sparkling red, and with a mild 
rich flavor. They are firm, stand shipping and handling in good shape, 
and the quality is very good. The hardy plants resist disease well, 
producing great crops of fine berries, as well as being good plant pro- 
ducers. Everbearing strawberries are always a treat in the garden and 
this is the best kind to grow. 
25 plants $2.00; 50 plants $3.50; 100 plants $6.00; 250 plants $13.00

RASPBERRIES 
The varieties we list here are not only the best grown today but we have taken care to select 
strong well grown plants from disease free fields. 
Set the plants out in the spring 21 feet apart in the row. The rows should be six feet apart. 
Keep free from weeds and the following year after planting you will have a good crop of berries. 
Note: Raspberries and other nursery stock can be shipped only east of the Mississippi and 
north of Tennessee. We pay transportation charges in this area. We do not ship any nursery 
LATHAM. (Red.) Big yielder, very dependable. There is no raspberry that will yield 
more quarts of fine berries than Latham. It is hardy, reliable, enormously 
productive and is the most widely grown red raspberry. It is midseason in maturity, ripen- 
ing in early July in our latitude, and continues to bear over a long period. The fruit is large, 
firm and attractive, deep red in color, and the flavor is mild and delicious. 
The plants are husky and vigorous and are usually grown without support. Latham will 
thrive under a wide range of conditions, and will remain strong and productive in spite of 
diseases which seriously affect many other varieties. For these reasons, it is one of the 
finest kinds to plant and is more widely grown than any other variety. 
Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. $2.25; 25 for $4.00; 50 for $7.00; $12.50 per 100 transportation 
paid. 
INDIAN SUMMER. (Red.) AUTUMN FRUITING (Everbearing). This is the most 
satisfactory fall bearing berry and should be planted in every 
garden. It bears a fine crop in early summer and a smaller second crop in the fall on the tips 
of the new canes. In our climate the fall crop starts to bear about mid-September and con- 
tinues until severe freezing weather. We have actually had fine fruit of Indian Summer in 
the middle of November. : 
The fruit is large, medium red in color, of mild flavor and excellent quality. The plants 
are above medium height, vigorous and hardy and bear enormous crops. 
Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. $2.75; 25 for $4.75; 50 for $8.00; $14.50 per 100 transportation 
paid. 


Latham 
Raspberries 
The most popular red variety. 

“The Latham raspberry bushes arrived today in 
splendid condition. I have set hundreds of raspberry 
bushes but these are the best of any I ever saw or had.”
