PREMIER (Early) — Introduced more than thirty years ago. Every strawberry 
grower has heard of Premier for it is largely planted in almost all sections, and by 
almost all strawberry growers. It is one of the best and most popular varieties ever 
introduced and claimed by many to be without an equal for any purpose. It is a 
great success in almost all sections and on any soil. The plants are good growers, 
large and heavy-rooted. It ripens with the earliest, is very productive, the fruit is 
large and of delicious flavor, firm, a good keeper, ships well and sells for good prices. 
Many claim that it is the most profitable variety they have ever grown. If you want a 
good early variety that is not easily killed by frost, and one that bears through a 
long season you will make no mistake in planting Premier. On all soils and under 
all conditions I do not believe any of the newer varieties of the same season are as 
good as Premier. 
HOWARD 17. — This berry is exactly the same as Premier. 
FAIRFAX (Early) — The quality berry. A favorite in quality and productiveness. 
Originated and introduced with Dorsett, now widely known and planted. The ber- 
ries are exceptionally large all through the fruiting season, and very firm. Plant 
Fairfax for its surperb flavor, large size and universal demand. 
MIDLAND (Early) — A U. S. Department of Agriculture cross of Premier and 
Redheart. Has been tested for several years and looks well worth a trial. Midland 
makes plenty of large vigorous and healthy plants, very productive. The berries 
are large and firm, fine flavor and quality. The color is a deep red with a SAEs. 
Don’t fail to try this variety. 
CATSKILL (Midseason to Late) — A Sure Cropper. The largest, most productive, 
and most profitable mid-season berry. 
Was originated by the New York Exp. Station where it has been grown for 
several years and is highly recommended for its size, yield and attractiveness. 
Catskill is a cross of Marshall and Premier and must take its fruiting abilities after 
Premier for it is a heavy producer and in tests made has even outyielded that variety 
and seems to be second to none in yield under normal conditions. The berries are 
large in size, bright red in color with a bright green cap that makes an attractive 
appearance and of excellent quality and flavor. The plant growth is unusually vigor- 
ous .with long fibrous roots that penetrate deep into the soil making them drouth 
resistant- The foliage is healthy and vigorous, makes plants freely. 
NEW YORK (Midseason) — This is the sweetest strawberry grown. The plant is a 
vigorous grower, producing a moderate number of large, healthy plants. The berries 
are medium to large in size, dark red in color, but only moderately firm in texture. 
New York is a home garden variety. It is the only strawberry we know of that is 
sweet before it gets red. We have many calls for New York from those whose health 
does not permit them to eat berries which are in anyway tart or acid in quality. 
CORSICAN — This berry is exactly the same as New York. 
RED STAR (Very Late) — A new extremely late variety, originated by Dr. George 
Darrow of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Very large, firm, bright red berries, 
with good flavor. Vigorous grower, very productive. Red Star is recommended for 
all the northen States, and as far south as Virginia and west to Missouri. Red 
Star is really a great addition to the Strawberry variety list, filling a definite need 
for an extra late variety of very high quality. 
GEORGE S. ROWELL, of Bedford Ohio, Writes: The strawberry plants came 
this day, fine plants, well packed and in excellent condition. I have bought berries 
from seven different firms, but your plants have been the hest, both in the condition 
in which they arrive and the way they bear ‘heavy crops. 
EDWIN I. JOHNSON, of Mass., writes: Your plants are marvelous and come 
as fresh as any local plants:
