BLAKEMORE 
Ripens a few days before Premier. Berries light red, conical and will re- 
main 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 rapidly grow- 
ing in popularity. Bright red. Excellent for home use, 
PREMIER 
One of the most popular Strawberries ever introduced. Good plant maker, frost resistant and prolific. The 
bright red berries are large, bluntly conical, of good quality and hold up in size to the very end if the sea- 
son is favorable. The leading berry for market or home. No variety ever tested has been so deservedly popu- 
lar and we recommend it as the best early and mid-season kind. 
TENNESSEE SHIPPER (Patented) 
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. Vigorous and a 
good plant maker. An outstanding early berry for preserving, canning and shipping 
. TENNESSEE BEAUTY (Potented) 
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.

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. 
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 grubs 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

AFTER FRUITTNG. Immediately plow or narrow the original 
row to about 12 to 15 inches. Thoroughly cultivate the 
middle so as te 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 
~ 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 available, we suggest you forget the everbearing varieties and plant varieties listed above

tions of suitable varieties if you want to leave this to us.
