STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Set out as early as possible in the spring, spacing the plants 18 in. in 
rows 3% ft. apart. Set the crown of the plant level with the surface of 
the ground and firm the soil very tightly around the roots. Pick off all 
blossoms the first spring and keep free of weeds. The following spring 
you will have a large crop of fine berries. 
Sparkle— Wonderful sweetness and an excellent freezer. 
EMPIRE (New.) Large, Attractive and Productive. 
This large handsome berry from Dr. G. L. Slate of the Geneva Station 
is the finest of the new early kinds. It is tremendously productive, 
ripens just after Premier and holds its size throughout the season. 
The conical fruit are bright, glossy red, very attractive on roadside 
stands, and the quality is fine, superior to Premier. The plants have 
great vigor, make plenty of runners and bear abundant crops. The 
large size, fine appearance and quality make it excellent for local market 
and home use. 25 plants $1.75; 50 plants $2.75; 100 $4.35, postpaid. 
Not paid: 500 plants $12.50. 
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.

“RED RICH. (New.) Finest Quality Everbearing Type. 
(Plant Patent No. 993.) This is the berry you have heard so much about! Large, honey- 
sweet and deep red all through, it bears in early June and again in late summer and fall. 
It has the true sweet flavor, fine dark appearance and vigor of one of its parents, the famous 
Fairfax, and is the most delicious everbearing strawberry we have seen. A strong grower, it 
yields well and is unsurpassed for fresh use, freezing or preserves. Tops in quality and vigor, 
Red Rich is a wonderful new berry. (Plants shipped direct from originator.)
