here at Perry and can hardly think of anything good enough to describe 
it. It most certainly surpasses any other variety that we have had the 
opportunity of watching. Last spring we planted a test plot of 500 plants 
and soon after planting we started picking and from then on throughout 
this past season we picked from 10 to 12 quarts each week and they were 
aioe. 4

is of enormous size, nearly round in shape, brilliant red in color, 
The fruit 
and with a 
delicious honey sweet flavor. Our supply is somewhat limited and if you 
desire to try some of these fine berries place your order early. 
GE Surpasses other Everbearing varieties in that it thrives in all 
soils and throws out plenty of “runner plants’ thus making 
a heavy fruiting row which begins to bear fruit six months after planting. 
Gem berries are all well rounded in shape, a striking red in color, 
few and the flavor is outstanding — sweet and juicy — lacking the acidity 
of most other everbearers.

STANDARD STRAWBERRY VARIETIES 
DORSETT 
THE BERRY SUPREME 
Proving an Ideal Berry, Combining Vigorousness 
Productiveness and Quality. 
Released for introduction by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture spring of 1938. The Dorsett surely makes a 
worthy companion for the Fairfax as each of them seem 
to have their advantages. The foliage of Dorsett is not 
as vigorous as Fairfax but equally as resistant to disease. 
The foliage and fruiting stems are more erect than Pre- 
mier and it is a free plant maker. The fruit is usually 
conic in shape. The color is bright red similar to Blake- 
more. The berries will average much larger than Blake- 
more although not quite so large as Fairfax. The flavor 
of Dorsett is not equal to Fairfax but superior to other 
early berries. 
CATSKILL 
A fine, vigorous plant, producing exceptionally large, 
bright red berries. Begins ripening mid-season, but crop 
is so large and borne over such a long period that 
Catskill will still be producing nice berries when some 
later kinds are nearly gone. 
FAIRFAX 
Released for introduction by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture spring of 1933. It has proved all that has 
been claimed for it and no grower of strawberries can 
afford to be without it. The foliage and fruit stems 
extend well above the ground which tends to give clean 
fruit and make the fruit more uniform. The Fairfax 
ripens about the same time as Premier, and its fruiting 
season extends over a long period. The quality of the 
Fairfax is equal to the best of our older varieties. The 
berries are large to very large, of a bright red color at 
picking time. Like the Bellmar it turns dark after being 
picked for several days but retains its flavor and firmness.

PREMIER 
No strawberry ever introduced has brought the returns 
to the grower that the Premier has, and it still stands 
unchallenged as a real money-maker. It has a record 
very hard to equal as an early market berry, and we 
cannot say too many good things about it. Consider 
these important facts about Premier and you can readily 
understand why we say this about it. Until the introduc- 
tion of the Blakemore it had no equal as a variety that 
would adapt itself to most all soil and climatic condi- 
tions, whether the soil was sandy, clay, loam or rocky, 
whether it was planted in North Carolina, Mass., or III., 
you always had an abundance of new plants that were 
thrifty and disease free. The land did not have to be 
rich. Of course, it will do better on good soils, but even 
on comparatively poor soil Premier always makes a show- 
ing for you. It can be considered almost frost-proof. 
It has never failed in a crop in this section since it was 
introduced. The berries average large and hold up well 
under heavy crops and unfavorable seasonable conditions; 
it ripens over a comparatively long period, from two to 
three weeks; the berries have an attractive bright red 
color and unusual quality that is surpassed by Chesa- 
peake and possibly Red Gold. It is moderately firm and 
will carry well to markets up to three hundred miles and 
farther if handled properly. It is the best of the tried 
and proven early varieties.
