Our strawberry plants are all fresh dug 
All our strawberry plants are fresh dug, hand cleaned, bunched and 
ready for easy planting. The plants are then labeled in the field before 
they are gathered up by truck and hauled to our packing plant. Here 
they are carefully packed by experienced packers, with plenty of damp 
moss and other packing materials. About 95% of our plants are packed 
within two hours after they are dug. That is why we can guarantee our 
plants to reach you in the very best condition. 
In looking through the many catalogs you receive you will notice that 
some claim to be the world’s largest growers of fruit plants and trees. 
WE DO NOT CLAIM TO BE THE WORLD’S LARGEST GROWERS, 
BUT WE DO GROW SOME OF THE BEST THAT CAN BE GROWN.

NEW STREAMLINER 
NEW GIANT SIZE—HONEY FLAVORED 
The newest of the everbearers, which we can offer in limited quan- 
tities only. We have never seen a more beautiful strawberry. Almost 
round, bright scarlet in color, and the very largest berry of all the ever- 
bearing strawberries. Out-yields both Mastodon and Gem. Sweet as 
honey, with very little acid. Ripens red all over at the same time, even 
late in the Fall. Bears 60 days after set, and will bear the second 
year as well as the first. From late June to late in November it will 
be loaded with ripe berries, green ones, and blossoms all at the same 
time. This new everbearer should be tried out in a small way by those 
who are interested in this type of berry. Prices: 25 for $1.40; 50 for 
$2.65; 100 for $4.25; 250 for $9.15; 500 for $17.00; 1000 for $30.00. 
NEW GEM 
Giant Everbearer 
BEARS 60 DAYS AFTER PLANTING 
The Last Degree in Strawberry Perfection For Size, Color and Flavor. 
It is our belief that there has never been and probably never will be 
another Everbearing Strawberry that even approaches Gem in the qual- 
ities that make for perfection. 
BIG PROFITS—2 CROPS A YEAR. Plant this spring—pick all 
summer—you’ll get back the price paid for the plants, and most impor- 
tant, a big profit besides. You’ll harvest another fine crop the following June—two crops in one year. Unlike most 
everbearers, this variety 
is an excellent plant 
maker. 
The plants are very 
healthy and _ vigorous, 
producing an abundance 
of runners, which bear 
fruit the first season. 
Berries are large, 
bright red, firm, round- 
ish in shape, rather tart 
but of good flavor and 
quality. Good for des- 
sert or culinary uses. 
Very attractive in ap- 
pearance and sell well on 
the fresh fruit market. 
Prices: 25 plants, $1.25; 
50 for $2.00; 100 for 
$3.45; 250 for $6.25; 
500 for $11.25; 1000 for 
$19.45.
