STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Set plants 18 inches apart in 314 to 4 ft. rows. We have in the 
past dug strawberry plants as they were wanted by the customers. 
Many of the orders came in late or specified late shipment. We 
found these late dug plants started slowly and were not as vigor- 
ous as early dug plants. 
We now start digging and shipping our Northern grown plants

FAIRFAX: One of the most popular berries 
for the home garden and roadside stand; a 
day or two later than Premier but an ex- 
ceptionally long fruiting season. Plants are 
vigorous and foliage holds well through 
fruiting season. Fruits are very large and 
hold size better than most varieties. Fair- 
fax has a rich, full bodied flavor and a 
mouth watering aroma. See prices below. 
PREMIER: A favorite variety for local and 
nearby markets. The plant is vigorous, 
makes good fruiting bed in all types of soil 
and is very disease resistant. First fruits 
are large but season is short and _ berries 
have a tendency to run down in size as 
season advances. A very heavy producer of 
excellent quality berries. See prices below. 
CATSKILL: A very large midseason berry 
suitable for both the home garden and local 
markets. Plants vigorous, free from leaf 
diseases, very productive and thrives in all 
soils. Fruit very large, attractive, holds size 
well throughout the season. See prices op- 
posite. 
SPARKLE: The New York State Experiment 
Station especially recommends Sparkle as a 
quick freezing variety. Sparkle, a new in- 
troduction from the New Jersey Experiment 
Station, ripens late, has a fine flavor and is 
claimed to be resistant to Red Stele root rot 
disease. See prices opposite. 
GEM EVERBEARING: An everbearer that 
really produces a crop in early summer and 
another in late summer and autumn. Ber- 
ries are large, light red in color, firm, rather 
tart in quality, and very attractive in the 
quart. Plants are vigorous and produce 
more runner plants than other everbearing 
varieties. See prices opposite.

Most authorities do not recommend any cutting 
until the second year after asparagus is trans- 
planted. Seneca Washington is so vigorous that 
we have found it possible to make light cuttings in 
one year without any apparent damage.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
We usually speak of an asparagus bed; how- 
ever, for the family garden a row or two along 
one side is preferable to a bed. The roots 
should be set 12 to 15 inches apart in a trench 
8 to 10 inches deep and wide enough so the 
roots can be spread out evenly around the 
crown. Cover with 2 inches of soil and pack 
tightly. Gradually fill the trench as the plants 
grow. Rotted manure or fertilizer may be 
used in the bottom of trench. Rows should 
be 4 feet apart. 
SENECA WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS 
ROOTS: A new strain of Washington de- 
veloped on our farms by selecting high pro- 
ducing plants of Mary Washington, testing 
these for yield, size of shoot, and uniformity. 
From these a male and female were chosen 
as the best in the group and crossed to pro- 
duce Seneca Washington. Seneca Washing- 
ton is very vigorous and apparently is as 
resistant to disease as its parents. The 
shoots are large, green with purple compact 
tips.

than the old varieties of pie plant. 
VALENTINE RHUBARB ROOTS 
A new variety developed by workers at Vine- 
land Station, Ontario, Canada, that we believe 
is superior to all other varieties that we have 
grown. It is a deep red stalked rhubarb and 
is characterized by a uniformly deep red flesh 
or interior. Sauce made from Valentine Rhu- 
barb is a most attractive red color. It is also 
an excellent freezing variety. Single roots 65¢;
