Premier 
PREMIER 
One of the most popular Strawberries ever introduced. Good plant maker, frost resistant 
and prolific. The bright red berries are large, bluntly conical, of good quality and hold 
up in size to the very end if the season is favorable. The leading berry for market or 
home. No variety ever tested has been so deservedly popular and we recommend it as 
the best early and midseason kind. 
BLAKEMORE 
Ripens a few days before Premier. Berries light red, conical and will remain firm a few 
days after ripening. Excellent for commercial or home use. Productive, good plant maker, 
and does well on rather poor soil. Our plants are the yellows-free strain. Plant Blakemore 
for profit. 
CATSKILL 
An outstanding midseason variety of high quality 
which is rapidly growing in popularity. Bright red. 
Excellent for home use. 
FAIRFAX 
Of highest quality and ripens about a week after 
Premier. Berries bluntly conical, dull red, yellow or 
greenish seed and dark red flesh. Juicy, firm and a 
fine home berry. 
GANDY 
Still the best late berry. Robust plants with fruit on 
strong stems. Blooms exceedingly late and thus fre- 
quently misses frosts. Conical berries with large caps, 
firm and rather acid. Excellent for preserving, canning 
or shipping. Prefers a moist clay soil.

TENNESSEE 
SHIPPER retentea) 
and 
TENNESSEE BEAUTY (Patented) 
TENNESSEE SHIPPER. (Patented.) This new, out- 
standing Strawberry seems destined to supplant 
the very popular and much planted Blakemore. 
Its light, bright color is most attractive and is 
admired, by all who see it. It is early and of 
good size throughout an extremely long picking 
season. The berries are conical, firm, and with 
its raised calyx, are easily ‘‘“capped.’’ They can 
be pulled without bruising and therefore do not 
have to be pinched. It has a long blooming 
period and if the early blossoms are killed by 
frost you will still get a fair crop. Vigorous and 
a good plant maker. An outstanding early berry 
for preserving, canning and shipping. 
10¢c per 100 more than other kinds. 
TENNESSEE BEAUTY. (Patented.) This is the 
outstanding introduction of the University of 
Tennessee in its Strawberry propagation. Its 
outstanding qualities are that it blooms and 
ripens after most varieties, and misses many 
early freezes which are often so destructive. 
The berries are large, bluntly conical or wedge- 
shaped. They are an attractive glossy célor, of 
good quality, and are borne on semi-erect stems. 
The large, bright green calyx gives the berries 
an attractive setting. It is vigorous, free of dis- 
eases, and a medium plant maker, but produc- 
tive. An outstanding kind for home canning and 
market. You must plant some Tennessee Beauty. 
10c per 100 more than other kinds.

Cultural Directions for 
Strawberries 
WHEN PLANTS ARE RECEIVED. Plant at once if pos- 
sible. If season is not favorable put in cool, moist 
place, BUT DO NOT WATER. They also may be 
unpacked and trenched in open ground. 
WHEN TO PLANT. Late in March or April is the chosen time. 
Fall planting usually results in a complete failure. 
SOIL. Strawberries respond to good soil and you should choose 
a fertile location. However, do not plant immediately after 
turning under sod, as white grubs invariably cause trouble. 
Prepare the ground very thoroughly. 
DISTANCE TO PLANT. The rows should be three and a half 
to four feet apart and the plants set about eighteen inches 
in the row. It requires about 7000 plants per acre. 
CULTIVATION. During the summer keep the ground con- 
stantly stirred and free of weeds. Moisture preservation by 
dust mulch will conserve the vitality of your plants and 
produce a fine matted row. Keep the hoe and cultivator 
busy. 
MULCHING. Protect by mulching with clean straw in fall or 
early winter after the ground is frozen. Do not apply too 
heavily, as this smothers the plants. Leave on during the 
fruiting season, as it conserves moisture and keeps the 
berries clean. <p 
AFTER FRUITING. Immediately plow or narrow the original 
row about a foot. Thoroughly cultivate the middle so as 
to give the new plants a chance to get established. Repeat 
the second year. We do not advise keeping beds more than 
two or three years. : 
FAMILY REQUIREMENTS. About three hundred, five hundred, 
or a thousand plants are required for a small, medium or 
large family. 
SELECTION OF VARIETIES. We shall be glad to make selec- 
tions of suitable varieties if you want to leave this to us.
