SENATOR DUNLAP 
This is the grand old variety too well known to need 
lengthy description, as it has been a popular favorite for a 
great many years. It is a hardy grower and a prolific plant 
maker, the sort of rough and ready variety able to take a lot 
~ of abuse and still come up with a good crop. 
_ The berry is medium sized, dark, very rich in flavor, very good for 
your garden. We might be partial to Dunlap, but we think that it is 
the richest flavored, highest quality berry you can have, used any way 
you like. 
Mid-season in ripening, just a little later than Premier. Grow this 
berry on fertile, moist soil, keep the plants well thinned, and discover 
strawberries at their best.

BIG JOE 
Big Joe is a good old variety that some growers have been using 
for years. The plants are big and heavy, with light green, drooping 
leaves. The blossoms are large and bright, the fruiting stems long and 
heavy. Not a real heavy bearer, but bringing all the fruit to suitable size. 
The berries run large, bright red, very attractive, and of 
very good quality. Firm enough for reasonable handling. 
Big Joe is rather susceptible to frost injury. We do not consider it 
the equal of some other varieties, but some people who have grown it for 
years will take nothing else. 
\ GIBSON 
Gibson is a variety grown for many years by some people for whom 
it has done extremely well. We have seen some very fine patches of this 
kind, and can well understand why it still has so many friends. 
It is a hardy variety, a prolific plant maker. Leaves dark, with al- 
most a purple tinge. Plants have especially long, fibrous roots. Blos- 
soms large, fruiting stem heavy. Many berries are set, and the yield is 
very good. Ripens about ten days later than Premier. Berries are-rather 
tart, and the quality not nearly as good as we like.
