STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Strawberry plants should be set out in the spring as early as the ground 
can be worked properly. The rows should be 31% feet apart and the plants 
12 to 18 inches apart in the rows. 
Set the plants with the crown level with the surface of the ground and 
firm the soil very tightly around the roots. Pick off the fruit stems the 
first spring and keep free of weeds. The following spring you will have a 
large crop of fine berries. 
Please read the shipping directions at the top of ‘page 74 care- 
tully before ordering. Strawberry plants can be shipped only to places 
in the United States east of the Mississippi and north of Tennessee, and 
are shipped only in the spring. Weight 500 plants—about 35 lbs.; 1,000 
plants—about 65 lbs. 500 or more plants supplied at the 1,000 rate. 
SPARKLE. (New.) Best of the Later Berries. This beautiful, spar- 
ling red berry, developed at the New Jersey Experiment 
Station, has proved the most productive and finest berry in late-mid- 
season group. The quality is excellent, better than Premier or Catskill, 
and the berries are of good size and attractive round shape. They ripen 
abundantly over a long period and are especially recommended 
for freezing. Hardy and widely adapted. See full description on page 5.

CATSKILL. Extra Large Midseason Type. This variety is an excellent 
kind to prolong the season. It starts to ripen a little later than Fairfax 
and lasts for a long time. The berries are firm, bright red in color and of 
very good quality. They are large in size, firm and attractive. The 
plants are vigorous, with plenty of runners, and the yields very heavy. 
You will find this variety a welcome addition to your strawberry bed.

PREMIER. Very Early—Enormous Crops. Premier is still the most 
reliable and productive kind of strawberry, and probably 
at least 80% of all the berries grown in the East are now Premiers. The 
plants are strong, healthy and extremely prolific. The blooms are hardy 
and there are so many of them that you always get a big crop. They 
ripen very early and bear over a considerable period. The berries are 
large, deep bright red all over and the quality is very fine. These fruits 
are firm and well shaped, and because of the handsome appearance and 
large size, Premier is always in great demand. It is excellent for market 
or roadside stands and fine for home gardens. We recommend it.

SN A SE eT 
Fairfax Strawberries—Large luscious early berries. 
FAIRFAX. The berries are large and firm with a most delicious flavor. 
The color is deep red at the picking stage and gets quite dark as they 
get older. For growers who prefer a dark colored berry of high quality 
we recommend Fairfax. The yields are good and when well grown on 
rich land, these berries are larger and better to eat than other varieties. 
Perfect flowers.

GEM The Best Fall or Everbearing Variety. This variety is far 
‘ better than other everbearing sorts, as the fall crops are larger 
and the fruit are of better shape and more attractive. The berries are 
large, uniform, bright sparkling red and have a mild rich flavor. They 
are firm, stand shipping and handling well, and the quality is very good. 
Plant everbearing strawberries early in the spring, picking all 
blossoms off carefully for the first six or eight weeks, and they will bear 
fruit in August and September of the first year. From then on they will 
produce two crops a year, giving you a full supply even out of season.
