TEMPLE, Disease Resistant, Early 
Here is the berry for you if you have been bothered with 
disease. Temple. It’s absolutely the nearest thing to a disease 
resistant berry yet discovered. Leaf spot, scorch, Red Stele, etc. 
If you thought you could not grow berries due to disease in your 
‘ground, plant Temple. It will grow. And odd part is it’s also one 
of the best berries. Fine appearing. Berries large blunt conic in 
shape further accentuated .by a rich looking dark green calyx. 
Stands lots of dry weather. Good plant maker and heavy yielder. 
~ Good for feezing—it’s an early berry. 
| PREMIER, The sure cropper 
PREMIER (Howard 17) MOST WIDELY PLANTED STRAW- 
BERRY. Premier was a leader when we were kids and it’s still the 
leader. Which means it has the stuff behind it. It is in my estima- 
tion the BEST ALL AROUND BERRY. It’s frost proof, never 
knew a crop failure with Premier. Very streng grower, resistant 
to leaf spot. It’s a strong grower. Good plant maker. Berries are 
large and red, conic in shape. It will grow on almost all types of | 
soil in almost all parts of the country .. . If you never grew berries 
-and are going to try only one kind — then pick Premier as it’s next 
to being failure proof with just ordinary care and attention. My 
stock of Premier is tops. Premier is rated as an early berry. 
GEM, Everbearing 
In GEM we have another good everbearer. Many think ie tops 
and to be frank with you, Gem, Brilliant and Superfection are, so 
far as I can tell, about the same. Gem usually DOES NOT make a 
good spring crop, but makes a fall crop that many consider tops. 
I do honestly consider my own improved strain of GEM EVERBEARING strawberries to be 
tops. Large size. EXTRA HEAVY CROPS. Have actually counted up to 50 berries on one plant 
at one time. Also under all conditions ‘and with less care I think GEM will maybe give you a 
Penal Aaya and much surer fall crop than any other everbearer with possible exception of 
ennholm 
WILD STRAWBERRIES. For about 8 years I have been im- 
proving and.picking out best —of some large strawberries (for 
erossing and otherwise testing). Many say nothing like that wild 
flavor for shortcake . . . I have lots of calls for some plants and so 
‘this year have few. Not over 25 plants to a customer for those who 
wish to try them or test. _ 
“TENNESSEE BEAUTY 4 
s 
1 
early. 
In Tennessee Beauty we have a berry that I think is the BEST 
of all the new Tennessee releases, It’s a fine shipping berry. It’s 
easy to grow. Very productive. Makes fine appearance and is a 
| dandy freezing berry. Late. Does fine from Ohio South. 
“SENATOR DUNLAP (Dr. Burrill) 
_ Often referred to as Doctor Burrill. This is a fine old standby 
particularly in Mid West and North West. It will stand cold and 
it will stand those cold dry winds. Berry 1 is glossy red and deliciously 
sweet. Fine for eating, canning, preserving and freezing. Considered
