BERRY PLANTS — RHUBARB i 
MISSIONARY STRAWBERRY 
This variety is sometimes called CAROLIN'A and on the Los Angeles market is known 
as “MISSION.” It has long been a commercial variety in Southern California and is a little 
earlier than Klondike on light scil. Grown extensively in Florida, where it is the leading 
strawberry. 
AROMA STRAWBERRY 
This is a late variety, large, very productive and a good shipper. Its first crop comes in 
at about the end of the first Klondike crop, thus filling in the gap between Klondike’s crops. 
Has been a successful commercial berry in Southern California for many years. 
PREMIER STRAWBERRY 
Premier has long been a standard variety in the East. Very early, it is said to be a 
great money maker with its early crop of berries, bringing top prices. Said to be very 
healthy and deep rooted, an excellent producer of large, bright red berries of firm texture. 
DUNLAP STRAWBERRY 
An old standby variety, still extensively planted in the East and regarded as one of 
the finest of strawberries. Berries of medium size, dark red and pointed in shape, highly 
flavored and ideal for canning. Plants said to be vigorous and tremendous yielders and 
resisting drouth and cold. weather better than most varieties. 
COLEMAN’S PRESIDENT STRAWBERRY 
This new variety originated in Washington, where it is said to be in great demand for 
quick freezing, one processing firm, it is said, having contracted for 500,000 of the plants to 
distribute to its contract growers. 
Processors want a berry which, after freezing, will thaw out and be as much like a 
garden-fresh berry as possible. The new Coleman's President is said to meet these require- 
ments better than any other berry on the market. After thawing it is said to be solid and 
firm, has a’good color, and maintains its original sweetness and flavor. Shrinkage is 
practically nil, either from freezing or canning. 
We saw these berries growing at Fresno last spring, and the plants were simply loaded 
with blossoms and berries of all sizes from blossoms up to ripe berries. Mr. Sutton, the 
. Grower’; “writes that the main first crop lasted seven. weeks, and they took off four tons 
from three-quarters of an acre, equal to 1,000 trays of 12 baskets each. 
A Fresno man who bought four crates of these berries from Mr. Sutton for home 
freezing, wrote him: ‘‘We opened some of your frozen berries we have in the sharp room, 
and the RICH, SWEET FLAVOR, TASTE AND FIRM QUALITY COLEMAN'S PRESIDENT 
STRAWBERRIES HAVE JUST CANNOT BE BEATEN.” 
Mr. Sutton wrote that they got 50c per tray over the market for these berries in Fresno.
