STRAWBERRIES 
Here is a new variety of June-bearing Strawberry that we feel to be 
one of the best yet introduced. 
It is of exceptionally high quality, the color being a deep shining red 
that goes way through the berry. 
The large berries begin to ripen just ahead of Dunlap and continue 
bearing through the Dunlap season. 
Some of the features we like best about June Rockhill is 
that the entire berry colors at one time, thus eliminating the 
white tips that so many berries have. Also the fact that these 
berries have no core and that the Plants are strong, vigorous 
and hardy. 
Those who have thrilled to the flavor of wild Strawberries will 
notice aq resemblance in the fine flavor of this berry. 
The foliage is thrifty, fruit stems strong and vigorous, thus 
holding the berries off the ground during ripening, giving you 
clean berries. 
The United States Department of Agriculture rated the quality 
of this berry EXCELLENT. 
Recommended for all zones—we urge you to try some of 
these new June Rockhill this spring.

BETA FREDONIA 
An older variety that is as hardy as many wild Grapes. The fruit is 
medium sized and bunches of good size. Blue-black in color, the quality 
is very good and ripening is early. Makes excellent juice or jelly. Rec- 
ommended for zones up through IV. Needs protection in Zones V and VI. 
One of the better quality Grapes trom the New York Experiment Sta- 
tion that is early enough to mature in southern areas of the LAND O' 
LAKES territory. Blue-black in color, it ripens three weeks ahead of 
Concord, the standard blue Grape for many years. 
The quality compares iavorably with Concord, but like that variety, 
needs winter protection when grown north of Zone I. With protection it 
is suitable for Zones I] and III, but should not be grown in any other 
zones because of lack of hardiness.

PARKER PEAR 
An introduction of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm that has steadily gained favor 
in Southern Minnesota since its introduction. 
The tree is large, vigorous and free growing. The fruit is medium in size, smooth and 
with a medium thick skin. The color is a clear yellow with a blush. The flesh is tender, 
medium fine grained, juicy, sweet and of fine quality. The fruit ripens early in September. 
For best pollination, two varieties of Pears are required. 
Recommended for zones up through II, for trial in Zones III and IV, and for limited 
places in Zone V. See prices below.

PATTEN PEAR 
A companion to the Parker Pear described above. Very similar in appearance, quality 
and growth. Both Pears are judged by many who have eaten them to be the equal or 
better than Bartlett.. Better yet, they will grow in areas where Bartlett will not. 
The Patten is especially blightresistant, and with these two Pears in your orchard you 
should not want for this fruit. Ripening about the same time as the Parker, Patten can be 
grown in the same area and with the same limits as Parker. 
Because Pears require two varieties for cross pollination and good sets of fruit, we 
recommend that both of these varieties be included in your order. 
The culture of Pears is much like that of Apples, except that they can be planted closer 
together. See Apple culture on page 6 and prices below.
