Strawberries. Everbearing Variety GEM—The universal everbearer, an old favorite; succeeds in all soils and climates except in the extreme south; fruits heavily the first sea- son the plants are set; very heavy cropper of medium large, sweet, mild, and beautifully colored ber- ries. Grow it in hills or narrow rows. Have Them fresh and Luscious from Your Own Garden Blakemore MAY TIME Introduced as the highest quality extra early berry and recommended as far west as Oklahoma and Kansas. May Time is usually fruited 4 to 8 days earlier than the old early varieties, as it is equal to the best standard berries in firmness, beauty, and dessert quality. The color is darker than the Blakemore and lighter than the Premier. They do not turn dark on holding. SENATOR DUNLAP—This is a great pro ducer and a money maker and a good, all purpose variety. Easy to grow, just the thing for the beginner. Will grow a full crop on most any kind of soil. Is considered one of the very best for can- ning and home use. Exceedingly produc- tive, plants small but have long roots that make it a sure cropper and a drouth resister. We have a wonderful produc- tive strain of Dunlap that never fails to please. BLAKEMORE—The new straVberry that is creating a sensation among strawberry growers everywhere it has been grown. This berry,, originated by the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, is a cross of Premier and Missionary. The berries are slightly blunted, conic with broad shoulders, slight neck, much firmer than Premier or Klondike, Blakemore has proven considerably superior as a mar- ket variety. Berries are-bright red color, tough skin, firm flesh, solid center, with excellent flavor; very productive, fine shipper and earlier than Klondike; blooms later and will escape frost when Klondikes are killed.
