STRAWBERRIES FROM SEED 
Here are Runnerless Strawberries, no runners at all to 
cut away, and the only practicable method of growing them 
is from seed. Each plant is a compact, separate tuft, loaded 
through most of the spring, summer and fall with delicious 
fruits, these bright red, pointed, medium size, decorative in 
appearance. Flavor blends the aromatic piquaney of the 
wild strawberry into the sub-acid honey richness of the garden 
kinds. Seeds sown in very early spring, while soil is cool, will 
give plants that will be in bearing by mid-August, continuing 
here to fruit until well into November. The next spring these 
same plants start bearing in late May or June, along with 
the regular types of garden Strawberries, but will keep right 
on fruiting through the summer and fall. “kt” culture. The 
seed is fine. Small packets, each 25c: 3 for 70c; 10 for $2.00.
