Setting plants on our farm forty years ago. J. W. Jones, founder of 
the business, is at right. 
The Big Three 
On pages &, 9 and 10 of this catalog there are descriptions of what we 
believe to be the best varieties in existence today; Blakemore, Premier and 
Temple. 
They possess all the elements that make for success: vigor of growth, 
productivity, stamina at fruiting time, freedom from disease, and what is 
most important, the handsome appearance that always commands the high- 
est price. 
Of the three, Premier is the most popular. It is early, productive and 
a success under all conditions of soil and climate, but Temple may replace 
place it in our opinion, certainly in some localities. 
We feel that a mistake is made when a long list of varieties is planted. 
Differing widely in general appearance, different varieties do not crate up 
well together, pickers are not satisfied to gather carefully the smaller and 
less productive kinds. Many of them are inferior in some particular, hence 
we unhesitatingly recommend these three of tested merit and unquestion- 
ed superiority. Of course, if it has been demonstrated that for your special 
situation of either soil or market that other kinds are best, we will be glad 
to fill your order. 
BIG YIELDS 
Writing for a large berry grower’s association in Floyd County, Indiana, 
Mr. William Scott, secretary-treasurer says “Please quote us prices on 
Premier strawberry plants in lots of 50 to 100 thousand. Our growers have 
had wonderful success with your plants. Some have had yields as high as 
100 24-quart crates per 1000 plants of setting. Thanking you.” This too, 
is old, but our plants still give the same results.
