HITTEN’S 
ORTH -WHILE 

Fall Planting of Strawberries: The Fall season is ideal for planting, but Strawberry 
Plants are not matured, with fully developed root: systems before the lst to 5th of October, 
and contrary to the belief of many, cannot be safely handled earlier, Shipment will be 
made from early October on through November. Place your order now for quick shipment 
as soon as plants are ready. Cover newly set plants with a straw mulch early in Decem- 
ber to prevent possible winter injury. 
CATSKILL 
A fine, vigorous plant, producing exception- 
ally large, bright red berries. Begins ripening 
mid-season, but crop is so large, and borne 
over such a long period, that Catskill will still 
be producing nice berries when some later 
kinds are nearly gone. It is a cross between 
two excellent and well-known varieties, Pre- 
mier and Marshall. Berries are of delicious 
flavor and quality. Excellent for either can- 
ning or freezing. 
Price: 25 for $1.00: 50 for $1.75; 100 
for $2.90; 250 for $5.90; 500 for $8.85; 
1,000 for $17.00. 
SEN. DUNLAP 
The Old Standby. One of the oldest and best 
Strawberries. New varieties have come and 
gone, but for nearly half a century “Dunlap” 
has been a leader, and it still outsells other 
varieties, so it must be good. The fruit is 
medium large, conical in form and regular in 
size—never any misshapen berries. In color 
it's a dark glossy red. Flavor and quality 
are unexcelled. An ideal shipper, and one 
of the best for canning and general home use. 
Grows anywhere, producing a fruit crop even 
in the most unfavorable locations. 
Price: 25 for 85c; 50 for $1.25; 100 for 
$1.75: 250 for $3.45; 500 for $6.45; 
1,000 for $11.85.

PREMIER

popular variety for many years past. A great

Strawberry can be. Unusually healthy, with 
deep, heavy roots enabling it to mature a 
full crop of berries even during prolonged dry 
weather. Large, bright red, firm berries, of 
fine texture and flavor. 
Price: 25 for $1.00: 50 for $1.75: 100

ment Station. Plants vigorous growers, pro- 
ducing runners freely. Berries bright red, 
smooth and firm. Excellent for freezing. Es- 
pecially desirable for the New England

eases. Adaptable to low ground and ex- 
cessive rainfall. Berries of large size, attrac- 
tive red color, firm, of good quality and 
flavor. Highly productive. Ripens about same
