\ PREMIER. Very Early—Enormous Crops. Premier is still the most reli- 
able’and productive early strawberry, and probably at least 80% of 
all the berries grown in the East are Premiers. The plants are strong, 
healthy and extremely prolific. The blooms are frost resistant, and the 
berries ripen very early and have a long picking season. They are 
medium to large, deep bright red all over and the quality is fine. 
Firm, handsome, and well-shaped, Premier is always in great demand 
on markets and roadside stands, and is the best early kind for home 
gardens. 25 plants $1.30; 50 plants $2.10; 100 plants $3.35, postpaid. 
Not paid: 500 plants $10.00; 1,000 plants $18.50. 
~ SPARKLE. Best of the Midseason Berries. 
This beautiful, glossy red berry is one of the most productive and finest 
in the mid-season group and is now the leader in many sections. 
The medium-sized fruit are well flavored, firm and particularly de- 
licious to eat fresh, and they are the best we know for freezing. The 
plants are very vigorous and hardy and will produce astonishing crops 
over a long period. They are resistant to Red Stele root disease and 
widely adapted in Northern sections. The berries are round, uniform 
and very attractive with their sparkling bright red color, and for home 
use or market this is a variety we can highly recommend. 
25 plants $1.30; 50 plants $2.10; 100 plants $3.35, postpaid. 
Not paid: 500 plants $10.00; 1,000 plants $1850. 
Sparkle—Delicious fresh and wonderful for freezing. 
TEMPLE. Excellent Quality—A Heavy Yielder. Widely grown for ship- 
ping in Maryland, Temple is very well adapted to New York and New 
England. It is resistant to Red Stele, highly vigorous and productive 
and has beautiful large clean foliage. Coming on just after Premier, it 
has large size and fine shape, and for flavor and sweetness it excels all 
others except the supreme Fairfax! The smooth and attractive fruit 
are firm and medium dark red in color. A first class market and home 
garden berry. Highly recommended. 
25 plants $1.30; 50 plants $2.10; 100 plants $3.35, postpaid. 
Not paid: 500 plants $10.00; 1,000 plants $18.50. 
FAIRFAX. The Most Delicious Strawberry. 
Once you have tried them, you will understand why we recommend Fairfax as tops in 
quality. A little later than Premier, it yields heavily when well grown on rich land and 
the large firm conic shaped berries have a sweetness and flavor equalled by no other kind. 
The color is a glossy deep red when first ripe, turning quite dark as they get older, and 
this dark color has become a trade mark of quality both for home and market use.

Not paid: 500 plants $10.00; 1,000 plants $18.50. 
RED RICH EVERBEARING. (New). Plant Patent No. 993. 
This sensational new everbearer has all the fine quality of the best spring kinds. Red Rich 
was developed in Minnesota and is outstanding in most parts of the East. It is a wonder- 
ful improvement on the old everbearing kinds, with large glossy red berries, deliciously 
sweet and rich-flavored. Unsurpassed for fresh use, freezing or preserves. Keep the blos- 
soms picked off and it will bear in 10 weeks, then again the next spring and all through 
the fall. A most excellent new berry. 
25 plants $5.00; 50 plants $8.50; 100 plants $15.00; 250 plants $32.50, postpaid. 
STREAMLINER. Large, Attractive, Sweet Everbearing. Few berries have become popular 
so quickly as Streamliner. It is a heavy producer of large fruit with bright red color and 
fine mild sweet strawberry flavor. It produces a spring and fall crop, and if the blossoms 
are kept picked off for the first six or eight weeks, it will bear the first summer and fall. 
Highly recommended. 25 plants $2.35; 50 plants $3.75; 100 plants $5.50, postpaid. 
Not paid: 500 plants $17.50; 1,000 plants $30.00.
