A WORD ABOUT VARIETIES 
The varieties that we offer in our catalog are 
those that have been tried and have given good re- 
sults in most soils and climate here in New Eng- 
jand. 
Each year we have inquiries about different kinds 
of strawberries and we offer the following comments 
on the varieties listed below which we have grown 
and tested on our own farm. We do not have any 
of these kinds for sale. 
Dorsett—-Sets too many plants, is a poor pollen- 
izer and is susceptible to frost injury. 
Fairfax—Flavor excellent, but berries after first 
picking are very small and yield is light. 
Fairland-—Vigorous grower, heavy yielder, but 
berries have tendency to be soft and have very poor 
flavor. 
Sparkle—Vigorous grower, heavy yielder, good 
flavor, but the berries are medium to small in size 
and the plants are susceptible to leaf spot. 
Redstar—Late variety, but very light yielder. 
- Evermore (Minn. 1166) Everbearing—Berries are 
soft and decay quickly, flavor very poor. 
Streamliner Everbearing—Strong healthy plant, 
berries large and firm, but a very light yielder. 
We are always on the lookout for new varieties 
and when we find any that have good qualities we 
will offer them to the trade.
