HOBBS & SONS, BRIDGEPORT, INDIANA 27 9 # | < » 4 n Senator Dunlap Strawberries. Strawberries Strawberries are easily placed in the front rank among small fruits, and owing to the wide range in which they can be grown, there is always a good market for several weeks of the year. No fruit lends itself so readily to the varied uses of the table or for canning purposes or pre- serving. They can be successfully grown in any good garden soil. Mark out the rows the desired width and set plants twelve to seventeen inches in rows; if set twelve inches in rows four feet apart, an acre will require 10,890 plants—same as if sixteen inches in rows three feet apart. Keep in rows and cultivate. A new bed should be planted every two or three years. In the early winter, when the ground is frozen, cover the whole with long straw, which should be par- tially removed from the row in the spring, but enough allowed to remain on the ground as mulch to keep the berries clean the following summer. The varieties that we list are all stand- ard and the best. "S" or staminate varieties fertilize them- selves. "P" or pistillate varieties require to be planted with staminate in order to produce good crops. Aroma (S)—This is our best and most profit- able late Strawberry. It cannot be beaten for quantity of fruit produced, or in quality of fruit. Plants show now weakness of any kind. Fruit very large, roundish conical, rarely misshapen, glossy red, of excel- lent quality, and produced in abun- dance. Same season as Gandy. Brandywine (S)—A good market berry; medium to large; dark scarlet, firm and somewhat acid; a good bearer and does well in clay soil. Mid-season. Bubach (P)—Large, conical and irregu- lar; dark red or crimson, sweet and good quality; plant vigorous, healthy
