NORTH STAR 
A very large, fancy fruit. Plants and fruit are larger than Fair- 
fax, berries about the color and quality of Dorsett. 
It is particular as to land, but on land that suits it, a person who 
goes to the trouble of not letting plants set too freely can get mar- 
velous berries. Supply limited. 
VALENTINE (Extra Early) 
Decidedly the earliest, good commercial strawberry. Most of 
the Valentine berries are off the plants when the good pickings of 
Premier and Howard 17 are ready. It stands up very well under 
drought conditions and is as firm a berry as Fairfax. The plant 
growth is exceptionally large and plants very free of leaf spot or 
other diseases. Valentine was developed from a cross between 
Premier and Vanguard and will do well on most soils. Berries are 
same size as Premier but a little darker. 
The darker berries such as Fairfax, Sparkle and Valentine are 
usually much sweeter and make good freezing berries. 
GEM (Everbearing) 
Surpasses other varieties of everbearing strawberries in that 
it does well on most any kind of soil. It makes plants freely and 
makes a heavy fruiting row. It starts fruiting about eight weeks 
after planting. Berries are a sparkling bright red, firm, stands 
shipping well, has a rich flavor something like a wild strawberry. 
Berries bring highest prices in the market. In New England, we 
keep all blossoms picked off until about July Ist. In two or three 
weeks the berries will start to ripen, the bulk of the crop coming 
in August and September when prices are highest. If you have 
never planted Gem we urge you to try them. You have a real treat 
coming. | 3 
EVERMORE (Minnesota 1166) EVERBEARING 
With us a heavy producer and plant maker, making more plants 
probably than any other everbearing variety. The berries are firm 
and do not soften but rather dry up like a blueberry. It does best 
in northern states. Berries are of good quality but not quite as 
attractive as Gem we think. It is well worth a trial. 
NEW STREAMLINER (Everbearing) 
Wonderful flavor, large size, healthy foliage and a great pro- 
ducer. Probably the most outstanding of all the new everbearing 
strawberries. Begins to bear about fifty days after planting if set 
in April or May with two crops the following year. It is perfect 
flowering as are all our strawberry plants. It is especially hardy, 
does well on most any soil and under all weather conditions. A 
good producer. Will give you a good crop the first year. Plant 
them for pleasure and sell your excess for profit. Most of crop 
comes in July and August while prices are high.
