STRAWBERRIES 
ROCKHILL 
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. 
As we cannot ship dormant or bare-root strawberry plants after March Ist, 
and because so many customers want plants after that date, we are now 
growing the ROCKHILL variety in PLANT BANDS. In this way we can 
ship GROWING PLANTS at any time, to arrive safely anywhere. All east-

BLUEBERRIE 
Blueberry growing is fast becoming a large and important industry in 
several of the eastern states and a decade of experimenting has proved 
that climatic conditions 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 suc- 
cess in blueberry culture. For a small home garden, suitable soil can 
easily be prepared by working leaf mold and rotted sawdust or com- 
mercial peat into the ground. 
While blueberries do well in partially shady locations, full sun is pref- 
erable, as the fruit ripens earlier, more evenly and the sugar content of 
the berries is higher. High summer temperatures will not injure blue- 
berries providing the plants do not suffer from lack of moisture. 
berry 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 sea- 
son continues until late August, so that berries are available 
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 can- 
ning or for pies, or if you want to go into growing on a commercial 
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 or 
more. They make excellent shrubs for use in the shrub border, having 
beautiful foliage and flowers.
