VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES 
CEKKEKRKKKKKKKEE 
DONNER and LASSEN 
_ These varieties should not be planted where tomatoes have been grown prior to plant- 
ing them, as they are subject to verticillium wilt which is likely merece tomatoes and 
otatoes. Lassen is said to be the type ve plant for the coastal areas where tomatoes 
ave never been planted. ed We are sold out of Lassen for this season. 
SIERRA 
Sierra is said to be the only one of these varieties which will abso- 
lutely resist the wilt. It is especially adapted for the foothill regions and the warm 
weather area around Los Angeles. It is said to be a consistant producer and in the warm 
weather the fruit is invariably firm, which is satd to be more than can be said of Las- 
sen. 
TAHOE 
Tahoe is said to resist about 85% of the wilt. [t is a hot weather plant and is said 
to bear continuously through the season. 
SHASTA 
This is one of the best, especially for the coadtal areas. See also our 1947-48 cata- 
log and 1948-49 bulletin and price list; also University of California bulletin b 690, 
describing Shasta, Sierra, Tahoe, Donner and Lassen. 
467.14 
This is said to be a very early variety, does especially well in the San Jose area 
and a planting at El Monte is said to be doing well. It is said to bear continuously 
in the Sin Jose area from April and was still bearing there on Oct. 15. A grower there 
says they have averaged approximately 3,800 crates per acre in the three years he has 
been growing them. Don’t know whether it will resist the wilt, but it is said to be 
really resistant to the virus diseases. A more perfect type than Shasta, a heavier 
producer 1nd a little pointed as far as this Bee of berry is concerned, and doesn’t 
seem tc be affected by mildew as is likely to be the case with Lassen in the coastal 
areas. [t ts only necessary to pout 6,000 plants per acre for Sie b production. I[t 
makes about 125 runners per mother plant. If you make a solid planting and permit no 
runners, it will bear fruit the same year it wis planted. 
STOCK LIMITED 
Our stock of these is quite limited, especially Shasta, so very prompt orders are 
strongly advised. 
Above plants will be ready by Dec. 5 to 15. 
UTAH EVERBEARING 
Our original source of these is sold out, and we shall have to get $5 
per 1000 more for them than the price in our 1948-49 price busi:
