Our strawberry plants are all fresh dug 
All of our strawberry plants are fresh dug, hand cleaned, bunched 
and ready for easy planting. The plants are then labeled in the field be- 
fore they are gathered up by truck and hauled to our packing plant. Here 
they are carefully packed by experienced packers, with plenty of damp 
moss and other packing materials. About 95% of our plants are packed 
within two hours after they are dug. That is why we can guarantee our 
plants to reach you in the very best of condition. 
In looking through the many catalogs you receive you will notice 
that some claim to be the world’s largest growers of fruit plants and trees. 
WE DO NOT CLAIM TO BE THE WORLD’S LARGEST GROWERS, 
BUT WE DO GROW SOME OF THE BEST THAT CAN BE GROWN.

New Giant Size—Honey Flavored 
The newest of the everbearers, which 
we can offer in limited quantities only. 
We have never seen a more beautiful 
strawberry. Almost round, bright scar- 
let in color, and the very largest berry 
of all everbearing strawberries. Out- 
yields both Mastodon and Gem. Sweet 
as honey, with very little acid. Ripens 
red all over at the same time, even late 
in the Fall. Bears 60 days after set, and 
will bear the second year as well as the 
first. From late June to late in Novem- 
ber it will be loaded with ripe berries, 
green ones, and blossoms all at the same 
time. This new everbearer should be 
tried out in a small way by all those who 
are interested in this type of berry. 
Prices: 25 for $1.70; 50 for $2.95; 100 for 
$4.95; 250 for $9.95.

The Last Degree in Strawberry Perfection 
For Size, Color and Flavor 
It is our belief that there never has been 
and probably never will be another Ever- 
bearing Strawberry that even approaches 
Gem in the qualities that make for perfec- 
tion. In our opinion Gem is still The Won- 
der Everbearer. 
BIG PROFITS—2 CROPS A YEAR. 
Plant this spring—pick all summer—you'll 
get back the price paid for the plants, and 
most important, a big profit besides. You'll 
harvest another fine crop the following 
June—two crops in one year. Unlike most 
everbearers, this variety is an excellent 
plant maker. The plants are very healthy 
and vigorous, producing an abundance of 
runners, which bear fruit the first season. 
Berries are large, bright red, firm, 
roundish in shape, rather tart but of good 
flavor and quality. Good for dessert or 
culinary uses. Very attractive in appear- 
ance and sell well on the fresh fruit mar- 
kets. Prices: 25 plants $1.25; 50 for 
$2.00; 100 for $3.50; 250 for $7.45. 
All Strawberries listed in this book 
are perfect flowering and require no 
mating.
