STRAWBERRIES 
NEW RED RICH 
Everbearing 
You can almost “‘eat’’ those berries right 
off the page. A thousand words can’t tell 
the story like this true-color picture does. 
Note how big and deep red those berries 
are—how thick and lush the foliage .. . 
Now, imagine biting into one; ummm so 
honey sweet that more sugar would seem 
a waste and that firm flesh texture is red 
clear through the core. That’s RED RICH, 
folks, the biggest, reddest, sweetest berries 
you ever saw—and to top it all, it’s an 
everbearer that’s really everbearing. 
Planted in early spring, RED RICH 
will bear in June all through the summer 
and into the fall. Because of its heavy 
yield fewer plants are needed—for the 
average family 25 plants per person are 
recommended. The crown and root system 
are exceptionally large as well as the 
leaves—a rugged plant, a heavy producer 
—for table, for freezing, for the commer- 
cial grower. Remember, only a limited 
supply of plants available—order at once. 
Runner plants, 12 for $3.00, 25 for $5.00, 
50 for $8.50, 100 for $15.00. 
Pot-grown plants, 12 for $4.00, 25 for $7.50, 
50 for $13.50, 100 for $25.00.

Everbearing Strawberries 
Gem Everbearing Giant. Even without its 
everbearing qualities, the Gem is a good 
berry, making a normal yield in the spring 
of firm, sweet, large, glossy, dark red ber- 
ries. Repeats in the fall when berries are 
more or less a novelty and can be marketed 
at fancy prices or served on the home table. 
Mastodon. This is unquestionably the most 
prolific of everbearing varieties. Bears con- 
tinuously from June till frost, the late fruits 
being as large as the early crop. . 
Layer plants, 25 $2.00, 50 $3.50, 100 $6.50.

in appearance, with light color, bright green

commencing early and bearing through a 
long season. 
Starbright. Brighter red than Dorsett, with 
firm, luscious berries of delightful flavor. 
Midseason Varieties

large size of fruit, excellent flavor.

equaling Premier in flavor, carrying a bright 
green cap.

some in appearance because of their large 
size, rich color, glossy surface.
