The Newest and Best STRAWBERRIES for Quickest Fruit 
CULTURE. Strawberry plants are easy to grow and will succeed in almost any kind of soil. Of course, fertilizer will 
help unless the soil is quite rich. Regular commercial fertilizer or barnyard manure will be satisfactory. The soil should be 
thoroughly worked at planting time just as you would prepare for any seed bed. The plants may be set as close as 2 feet 
apart in the row and the rows 3 or 31 feet apart to allow for easy cultivation. At a planting distance of 2 by 314 feet, 
6,300 plants will be required for one acre. 
Do not plant Strawberries too deep. The crown of the plant must be above the level of the ground and the soil carefully 
firmed around each plant. After planting, shallow cultivation is important. Many growers mulch their Strawberry plants 
with straw during the winter. This is applied late in the season when the ground is frozen, and may be left on in the spring 
as a protection for the fruit. 
In picking the fruit it is best to delay until the dew dries off or until the berries are dry, as they will hold up longer. 
After fruiting, the plants may be cut with a mower, raked off and burned, but be sure that the burning is done where it 
will not mjure the plants. 
Streamliner 
This new jumbo-size everbearing Straw- 
berry, most modern of all, has sped its way to 
popularity. Never has a Strawberry had such 
an enthusiastic welcome. The Strawberry 
you will enjoy without sugar is finally here! 
Sweet as honey, fresh as a June day, the Stream- 
liner gives you everything. The berries are 
jumbo size, glossy red and delicious, conical in 
shape, and very uniform in size throughout the 
season. Production of fruit begins in June and 
extends until hard freezing weather. Up to a 
quart of berries per plant has been known for 
Streamliner. This is the ideal everbearer for your 
garden. Tops for shortcake and canning, re- 
quiring a minimum of sugar. Streamliner Is one 
of the best for quick freezing. Every garden 
should have at least fifty Streamliner plants for 
each member of the family. 25 for $3.25; 50 for 
$5.25; 100 for $8.50. 
Gemzata Everbearing 
The new Gemzata Strawberry is the out- 
standing everbearer of today for both high 
quality and heavy production throughout the 
late spring, summer and fall. It produces extra- 
large Strawberries right up to heavy freezing 
time. The berries are unusually large, with rich 
red meat all the way through, firm and of fine 
texture. Gemzata has proved successful on a 
wide range of soils and succeeds better under 
adverse conditions than other everbearers we 
have tested. University and state experimental 
tests show it to be superior to Gem and Mastodon 
in both quality and production. Gemzata pro- 
duces well the first season. A cross of the well- 
known Gem and Wayzata, it is a triumph in 
Strawberry plant breeding. Every garden should 
have at least fifty Gemzata plants for each 
member of the family. 25 for $3.00; 50 for

Blueberries 
GROW YOUR OWN BLUEBERRIES— 
PICK THEM FRESH OFF THE BUSH 
Cultivated Blueberries are hardy shrubs of 
rare beauty; they are doubly valuable because 
they are fruitful and ornamental all year. 
Every home garden, no matter how small, has 
room for at least a few of these Blueberry plants. 
It takes only a few to produce all the berries an 
ordinary family will need. As a commercial 
proposition it is one of the most profitable fruits 
to grow. There is a big market for these delicious 
Blueberries. They make good money in a very 
short time, for you can begin picking the second 
or third season after planting. 
Blueberries are also ornamental shrubs of 
rare beauty. They may well be used in associa- 
tion with their close relatives, Laurel and Rho- 
dodendron. In pleasant contrast to the rich 
evergreen masses of the latter, Blueberries give 
lightness, grace, and color. Plant them in rows, 
in clumps on the lawn, or in the shrubbery 
border. A hedge of Blueberries is both profitable 
and ornamental. 
Choose a piece of ground easily supplied with 
moisture during dry summer months; it should 
not, however, at any time become water-logged. 
Plant in full sun if possible; they will also do well 
m partial shade. Be sure the soil is acid. Give 
only shallow cultivation, not over 2 to 3 inches 
deep, so as to leave the roots undisturbed.
