STRAWBERRIES 
We grow and sell the kinds which do best in Kentucky. Use Hillenmeyer’s Tried and 
Tested Plants. All varieties listed are perfect flowering. 
PREMIER 
One of the most popular Strawberries ever introduced. Good plant maker, frost re- 
sistant and prolific. The bright red berries are large, bluntly conical, of good quality 
and hold up in size to the very end if the season is favorable. The leading berry for 
market or home. No variety ever tested has’ been so deservedly popular and we recom- 
mend it as the best early and midseason kind. 
BLAKEMORE 
PRipens a few days before Premier. Berries light red, conical and will remain firm a few days 
after ripening. Excellent for commercial or home use. Productive, good plant maker, and does 
well on rather poor soil. Our plants are the yellows-free strain. Plant Blakemore for profit. 
CATSKILL 
An outstanding midseason variety of high quality which is rapidjy’growing in popularity. Bright red. Ex- 
cellent for home use. 
TENNESSEE SHIPPER (Paotented) 
This outstanding Strawberry seems destined to supplant the very popular and much planted Blakemore. 
Its light, bright color is most attractive and is admired by all who see it. It is early and of good size through- 
out an extremely long picking season. The berries are conical, firm, and with its raised calyx are easily 
“capped.’’ They can be pulled without bruising and therefore do not have to be pinched. It has a long 
blooming period and if the early blossoms are killed by frost you will still get a fair crop. Wigorous and a 
good plant maker. An outstanding early berry for preserving, canning and shipping. 
a _ TENNESSEE BEAUTY (Patented) 
This is the outstanding introduction of the University of Tennessee from its Strawberry breeding experi- 
ments. The berries are large, bluntly conical or wedge-shaped. They are an attractive glossy color, of good 
quality, and are borne on semi-erect stems. The large bright green calyx gives the berries an attractive 
setting. It is vigorous, free of diseases, and a medium plant maker, but productive. An outstanding kind for 
home canning and market. You must plant some Tennessee Beauty.

EVERBEARING VARIETY 
GEM. We have tried several varieties and found this to be the most productive and best so far under Central Kentucky 
conditions. For years we have referred to the everbearing varieties as “never bearer.’’ However, a new method of 
culture has proven successful, provided you can water the plants during the summer months. If you do not have 
water ayailable, we suggest you forget the everbearing varieties-and plant varieties listed ———— ——— 
PRICES ON GEM } 100. Plants 
200 plants 
On our own grounds we have conducted experiments as outlined by the University of Kentucky, Department of Horti- 
culture and suggest the following cultural directions. 
Pick the blossoms until June Ist, then let them develop. 
THE RUNNERS SHOULD BE REMOVED DURING THE 
ENTIRE SEASON. 
Water as needed, and pick the berries about every 
third or fourth day. 
Hand weed as needed, but do not disturb the mulch. 
Requirements—about 200 plants for the average size 
family. 
1. Prepare your ground early if possible. 4. 
2. Set plants one foot apart each direction in beds, four 
rows wide. Leave two-foot walk between beds. 
Cultivate for one month after planting. Then mulch 
with one to one and one-half inches of sawdust, shav- 
ings, or peat moss, but do not cover the plants!

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
FOR STRAWBERRIES 
Except Everbearers 
WHEN PLANTS ARE RECEIVED. Plant at once if 
possible. If season is not favorable put in cool, 
moist place, BUT DO NOT WATER UNTIL 
PLANTED. They also may be unpacked and trench= 
ed in open ground. mT 
WHEN TO PLANT. Late in March or April is the chosen time. 
Fall planting usually results in a complete failure. 
SOIL. Strawberries respond to good soil and you should choose 
a fertile location. However, do not plant within one year 
after turning under sod as white guube invariably cause 
trouble. Prepare the ground very thoroughly. 
DISTANCE TO PLANT. The rows should be three and a half 
to four feet apart and the plants set about eighteen inches 
in the row. It requires about 7000 plants per acre. 
CULTIVATION. During the summer keep the ground con- 
stantly stirred and free of weeds. Moisture preservation 
by dust mulch will conserve the vitality of your plants and 
produce a fine matted row. Keep the hoe and cultivator 
busy. 
MULCHING. Protect by mulching with clean straw in fall or 
early winter after the ground is frozen. Do not apply too 
heavily as this smothers the plants. Leave on during the 
fruiting season as it conserves moisture and keeps the 
berries clean. 
AFTER FRUITING. Immediately plow or narrow the original 
row to about 12 to 15 inches. Thoroughly cultivate the 
middle so as to give the new plants a chance to get estab- 
lished. Repeat the second year. We do not advise keeping 
beds more than two or three years. 
FAMILY REQUIREMENTS. About three hundred, five hundred, 
or a thousand plants are required for a small, medium or 
large family. 
SELECTION OF VARIETIES. We shall be glad to make selec- 
tions of suitable varieties if you want to leave this to us.
