WELCH’S EVERBEARING 
 B4125—SUPERFECTION. Superfection 
bears two crops a year of big, red 
26 
berries, richly flavored and juicy. It

everbearers, is a good plant maker. 
Dr. Dennisen of Iowa State College

“\B4113—NEW GEM. Grows under 
almost any condition. Berries are 
large, firm, bright red, and of fine 
quality. Especially fine for canning 
and preserves as the berries hold 
their color and shape well. Plants 
grow well even where the summers 
are hot and dry. 25 for 1.30; 50 for

for 17.25; postpaid; 1,000 for 32.75; 
express not prepaid. 
B4119—GIANT MASTODON. Still one 
of the best sellers even though it 
was one of the first everbearers in- 
troduced. Berries are of giant size, 
often two inches in diameter, and 
still very sweet and juicy. Will bear NI 
lightly 90 days from planting. 25 for

A B4122—RED RICH (Plant Patent No. 
993). A cross between Wayzata 
everbearer and Fairfax Junebearer 
made by Marion Hagerstrom. This 
was a chance seedling, one in a 
million, that hit square, retaining all 
the good qualities of both parents. 
HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
A2053—PARK. Originated at 
+ % ~=Des Moines, Iowa, and intro- 
duced to the trade through a 
former Secretary of the Iowa 
State Horticultural Society. In 
every test it has proved its 
superiority. The berries are 
very large, meaty, juicy, and 
of the finest quality and flavor. 
The vines are the nearest disease 
free of any black raspberry yet 
introduced. 3 for 98c; 6 for 
1.89; 12 for 3.69; 25 for 6.98; 
AC 100 for 19.75, postpaid. 
WELCH’S DISEASE-RESISTANT 
The berries are very large, rich, 
glossy crimson color all the way 
through, and of exceptionally fine \ 
flavor and quality. They are honey- 
sweet because they carry lots of nat- 
ural sugar. They are unsurpassed for 
freezing as they do’ not mush when 
thawed. The plants are large and 
strong growing, and seem to adapt 
themselves to almost every section of 
the country. This variety bears 
heavily in the spring, and starts right 
in again in a few weeks later and 
continues bearing until freezing 
weather. 10 for 2.98; 25 for 5.00; 
50 for 8.49; 100 for 14.98; 200 for 
26.00; 500 for 55.50 1,000 for 97.50, 
all postpaid. 
WELCH’S JUNE-BEARING 
STRAWBERRIES 
June-Bearers belong in your gar- 
den in any event, but if you have a 
freeze box, they are ideal. You can 
gather your whole crops in 3 or 4 
weeks, freeze them up, and then 
have them available whenever you 
want fresh strawberries. 
B4104—BLAKEMORE. One of the most 
widely planted June-bearers. There 
are great commercial plantings of 
this variety all over the U.S., particu- 
larly toward the southern states, be- 
cause it stands drouth so well. Uni- 
form ripening, and a firm, attractive, 
highly colored berry of high quality. 
Ideal for shipping. Plants are good 
growers. A very heavy bearing, early 
fruiting, dependable variety. Ripens 
a few days before Dunlap. 25 for 
89c; 50 for 1.39; 100 for 2.49; 200 
Rasptberies 
Very hardy; withstands weather 
of 45 degrees below zero. An 
excellent commercial variety, 
as well as fine for the back 
yard garden. Returns on com- 
mercial planting often run 
$400 to $800 per acre per 
year. 6 for 1.45; 12 for 2.49; 
25 for 4.65; 50 for 8.49; 100 
for 15.98, postpaid. 
A2075—INDIAN SUMMER. This 
is the mew everbearing red 
raspberry. One of the earliest 
to ripen in the summer, and 
then it bears another heavy 
crop in the fall. The very large, 
for 4.79; 500 for 10.89, postpaid. 
1,000 for 19.75, express not prepaid. 
B4101—NEW ARMORE. A brand new 
June-bearer that should be well 
adapted to Midwestern conditions as 
it was developed by Dr. Swartout at 
the University of Missouri Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. It is very 
disease resistant and a heavy bearer 
of very high quality fruit. 25 for 
1.59; 50 for 2.85; 100 for 5.19; 200 
for 9.98; 500 for 20.65, postpaid. 
1,000 for 37.98, express not prepaid. 
\! B4103—BELLMAR. Has everything 
that a strawberry should have. Deli- 
cious, large berries are deep dark red 
in color, with no green tips. Holds 
this beautiful color even when 
canned, which is why it has always 
been a favorite for canning and 
preserving. 
Bellmar grows almost anywhere, 
and does well in the south as well as 
the north. It is free from disease, 
and bears over a long season—usu- 
ally gives more fruit than you can 
use fresh. 25 for 89c; 50 for 1.39; 
100 for 2.49; 200 for 4.79; 500 for 
10.89, postpaid. 1,000 for 19.75, 
, express not prepaid. 
B4123—ROBINSON. We consider this 
the best June-bearer, and it is rapidly 
displacing Blakemore, Dunlap and 
many of the old varieties all over the 
country. It is a strong growing plant 
with rich, deep green foliage. On the 
average, bears probably the largest 
berries of all the well known June- 
bearers. The flavor is delicious, the 
yield is very heavy. Ripens right 
after Dunlap and thus prolongs the 
berry season. You can’t go wrong on 
this one. 25 for 98c; 50 for 1.49; 
100 for 2.65; 200 for 4.98; 500 for 
11.75, postpaid. 1,000 for 21.00, ex- 
press not prepaid. 
B4107—SENATOR DUNLAP. The most 
widely planted popular June-bearer. 
Although originated in Urbana, IIli- 
nois, about 1890, Senator Dunlap is 
still going strong, which speaks well 
of its quality and vigor. Particularly 
good for dry areas as they root 
deeply; can withstand drouth better 
than many varieties. 25 for 89c; 50 
for 1.49; 100 for 2.49; 200 for 4.79; 
500 for 10.89, postpaid. 1,000 for 
19.75, exp. not ppd. 
HYBRID BLUEBERRIES 
We wish all our customers would buy 
nothing but these two-year-old transplanted 
berry plants because they are so much more 
satisfactory in every way. They are larger, 
stronger, heavier rooted, and the danger of 
losing them in planting is greatly reduced. 
They will even bear a few berries the first 
year, but of course not enough so that you 
could do much canning or jam making un- 
jess you put out a lot of plants. 
Commercial growers who put plants out 
in great quantities probably should buy the 
others, but you folks who want them for 
your home garden should plant these. They 
require little care, get established quickly, 
bear more fruit sooner.
