These four choice new varieties from California were offered by us for the first time last spring. They met 
with such instant response on the part of our customers that we greatly increased the size of our plantings, and 
are now able to supply the anticipated demand at prices comparable with the common kinds that have been 
available for years. 
We originally transported these varieties direct from California, where they had been originated as the 
result of extensive plant breeding work carried on by the University of California. For the past three years 
we have grown and tested them in our own fields, and are so impressed with their vigor and hardiness, indicative 
of the ease with which they have become acclimated to the low winter temperatures of the Middle West, that 
we no longer hesitate to recommend them as safe and satisfactory kinds for either home or commercial planting. 
The quality of fruit produced is comparable to standard kinds that have originated in this section, and we 
feel their seasons of ripening are such that they will readily fit into any planting schedule, either by themselves, 
or when used in connection with any of the well-known kinds listed on the opposite page.

The Perfect Everbearer. Something new and different. Has been known

heavy rooted. Supply still limited. Price: 12 for $1.00; 25 for $1.75; 50

Oe GEMZATA 
A new Everbearer that does well in all sections, 
but is especially desirable in the eastern states. A 
cross between two splendid varieties, Gem and 
Wayzata, and embodying most of the de- 
sirable features of both. An excellent plant 
maker, producing a good fruiting bed that 
supplies a big crop of berries in late fall, 
when every one has a taste for Strawberries. 
Price: 25 for $1.25; 50 for $2.15; 100 for 
$3.60; 250 for $6.75; 500 for $12.00;
