Sunrise is a new variety. Ripens about 10 days 
ahead of Latham. It has a smaller and higher 
quality berry. It is inclined to be over ambitious 
in plant making. Prices same as Latham. 
Minnesota 352—Looks very promising as an ear- 
ly variety. Large berries on a strong cane. 10 
tor $1.50. Postpaid. 
Madawaska—Prof. J. D. Winter of St. Paul 
recommends this new Canadian variety for trial. 
It has done well for D. T. Grussendorf at Duluth. 
Excellent quality that should.top the market. So 
far it has not done well for us. Trices same as 
Latham. 
Strawberries 
In order to get the best out of strawberries you 
have to grow your own. Just a. small patch will 
supply a lot of berries. They like ground with a 
lot of humus. It is well to have the main crop 
from the June bearing kinds, and have enough 
everbearing for fresh berries in the ‘fall. Straw- 
berry plants must be planted at the right depth 
ana the roots firmly packed. Care must be used 
to see that all roots are below the level of 
the ground to prevent their drying out, but the 
top, or crown of the plant must not be covered or 
the plant will choke. If the plants cannot be 
planted as soon us received, they should be heeled 
in the ground in some shady place. We grow our 
own strawberry plants and send out fresh plants 
well packed. 
We have tried many varieties of strawberries and 
discarded most of them including EVERMORKE 
and STREAMLINER. They just don’t compare 
with GEM, PREMIER and ARROWHEAD. 
Gem Everbearing—The most widely grown of 
the everbearers. Will grow a good crop in the fall 
if planted early in the spring. The earlier planted 
the better. 25 plants for $1.50, 50 plants for 
$2.25, 100 for $4.00. Postpaid. 
Premier June Bearing—The first to ripen and 
still maintains a long season. A good dependable 
berry. 25 plants for $1.25, 50 for $2.10, 100 for 
$4.00 postpaid. 
Arrowhead June Bearing—This new introduction 
from the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm ranks 
well at the top with the other fine products from 
this station. The Arrowhead is particularly adapt- 
ed to northern conditions. In addition to its pro- 
ductivity of plants and fruits, the quality of the 
berries is absolute tops in every. respect, for eat- 
ing, canning, jam, and freezing. It is excellent for 
market, too, because of its firmness and attractive-
