In order to get the best out of strawberries you 
have to grow your own. Just a small patch will 
supply a lot of berries. They like ground with a 
lot of humus. It is well to have the main crop 
from the June-bearing kinds, and have enough 
everbearing for fresh berries in the fall. Straw- 
berry plants must be planted at the right depth 
and the roots firmly packed. Care must be used 
to see that all the roots are below the level of 
the ground to prevent their drying out, but the 
top or crown of the plant must not be covered or 
the plant will choke. If the plants cannot be 
planted as soon as received, they should be heeled 
in the ground in some shady place. 
We have tried many varieties of strawberries and 
discarded most of them including EVERMORE 
and STREAMLINER. They just don’t compare 
with GEM, PREMIER and ARROWHEAD. 
“Gem Everbearing—The most widely grown of 
the everbearers. Will grow a crop in the fall if 
planted early in the spring. The earlier planted 
the better. 25 plants for $1.50; 50 plants for 
$2.25; 100 for $4.00. Postpaid, 1000 for $25.00. 
Superfection—A newer everbearing of promise. 
25 for $1.50; 100 for $5.00. 
Premier June Bearing—The first to ripen and 
still maintains a long season. A good dependable 
berry. 25 plants for $1.25; 50 for $2.00; 100 for 
$4.00 postpaid. 
Arrowhead June Bearing—This new introduction 
from the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm ranks 
well at the top with the other fine products from 
this station. The Arrowhead is particularly adapt- 
able to northern conditions. In addition to its 
productivity of plants and fruits, the quality of 
the berries is absolutely tops in every respect, for 
eating, canning jam and freezing. It is excellent 
for market, too, because of its firmness. Be-
