spring made reasonably good rows. The plants appear thrifty and 
healthy. 
If half the good things which the Maryland growers say about 
Midland are true, it should be a valuable addition to our standard va- 
rieties. 
Try Midland this year. You may find a real winner. 
FAIRPEAKE 
Fairpeake is a late variety which, as the name suggests, is a 
cross of Fairfax and Chesapeake. With such parentage one would ex- 
pect a berry of very high quality. Those who have grown it claim it 
is the very peak of perfection in flavor and quality. The berries are 
said to be very large in size, beautiful and firm. Production is better 
than Chesapeake and equal to Fairfax. 
As it grew in our beds last summer Fairpeake made a moderate 
row of robust healthy plants. 
Why not try a few Fairpeake this year? 
EVERBEARERS 
Strawberries until snow flies! That’s what you get with Ever- 
bearers. Every strawberry grower should enjoy delicious shortcakes 
during the summer and fall. Commercial men will find a ready mar-

Two crops a year! That’s what you get with Everbearers—A 
crop in the early summer and another in late summer and autumn. 
Large, delicious bright red good quality berries you can enjoy for 
many weeks. 
Berries three months after planting! That’s what you get with 
Everbearers. Plants set this spring will bear in August and on until 
winter. The blossoms should be cut from plants set this spring until 
about mid-July in order to give the plants a good chance to get a 
vigorous start. Then leave the blossoms on and begin enjoying lu- 
scious berries in mid-August. 
The supply of all Everbearers is very limited this year. 
GEM — A Money Maker 
One of the most profitable and productive of all the everbearers. 
Many everbearers have come and gone but Gem retains its popularity 
because it has what it takes. It is an everbearer that really produces. 
Throughout late summer and fall you can pick quantities of these 
beautifully bright and attractive berries. They are somewhat tart 
but very good in flavor and quality and possess a real strawberry 
aroma. ‘The berries are round, smooth, good sized and very attrac- 
tive in the quart. 
The plants of Gem are rather seer Nevertheless, they are vig- 
orous growers making many plants which will fruit the same season 
as they are produced. 
MASTODON — The Grand Old Everbearer 
This grand old variety has run the gauntlet of the years and still 
remains the most popular everbearer grown. The berries are large, 
bright red and good quality. Mastodon bears good crops both in the 
spring and the fall.
