STRAWBERRIES 
Indoors in March! 
IDEAL PERENNIAL FOR 
EDGING, BEDS, BORDERS, WALKS 
Baron Solemacher 
Alpine Strawberries 
3710 DEANE’S IMPROVED STRAIN. Avail- 
able only from Breck’s. Berries the first year 
from July until frost ... from seed started 
indoors in March . . . and from May on 
for years to come. Delicious juicy wild 
strawberry flavor . . . and the fruit far 
more plentiful and twice the size of the 
wild strawberry. 
Baron Solemacher’s absolute lack of 
runners makes it a sure fire winner for an 
onamental edging plant. Midget Blue 
Ageratum combines 
Pkt. 
TORENIA (A) 
beautifully with Baron 
Solemacher for a color- 
ful red, white and blue 
edging. It’s natural too 
for herb gardening 
where neatness is in- 
deed a virtue! 
3952 Wishbone flower to many—because 
of the curious arrangement of the stamens 
in the throat of the two-toned flower. Deep 
pansy purple and clear sky blue in the 
same flower with rich yellow throat. The 
neat uniform 8-10 inch plants make a 
grand edging or rock plant—ideal for 
miniature arrangements. Pkt. 25c¢ 
UNICORN PLANT (A) 
2665 Martynia. Versatile seed pods for the 
hobbyist, home decorator and arranger. 
Summer blooms are pale yellow with at 
tractive contrasting deep purple markings 
—later producing seed pods which may 
be pickled for relish while green. The dry 
mature pods resemble birds and are often 
painted for use in gourd strings or saved 
for interesting accessories in dried arrange- 
ments. Pkt. 25c
