Here are four choice new varieties of strawberries, which, so far as we know, have never before been offered by any midwest 
nursery to the gardeners of the North Central and Eastern States. All are native of California, the result of extensive plant breeding 
work carried on by the University of California. 
At no small expense and effort we've had these varieties transported direct from the fertile valleys of California to our own 
fields, where, for the past two years, we've grown and tested them. The plants offered you are the second generation of Michigan 
grown stock— fully naturalized and acclimated to the low winter temperatures of our northern states. 
A small space in your garden devoted to the growing and testing of these rare new kinds will afford many interesting moments 
of pleasurable diversion. 
neighbors! Better order now, as our supply is limited. 
DONNER Named for a celebrated lake in California. Berries 
large, long conic shape, bright glossy red in color, having attractive 
yellow seeds, small and mediumly spaced. Flesh is juicy, firm, and 
red throughout when ripe. Excellent dessert quality. Ripens early 
and evenly. 
Plants are large and vigorous, being the largest of the four Cali- 
fornia varieties offered. Leaves are oval and flat. A matted row 
of these huge plants is a delightfully appealing sight to any true 
strawberry enthusiast. 
SHASTA Named for Mt. Shasta, the highest mountain peak in 
northern California. Berries are medium large, of round conic form. 
Color a glossy red, with red flesh throughout. Of firm texture and 
good keeping quality. Flavor deliciously mild subacid. Plant is 
vigorous, with dark, bluish green leaves having characteristically 
wrinkled surface, which distinguishes this variety from most others. 
A beautiful plant in the garden.

Tahoe; 6 of any variety, $1.00; 12 of a single 
variety, $1.75, Postpaid in U.S. while they last.
