Luscious Strawberries If garden space is limited you can still enjoy strawberry plants by using them as a border, ground cover or even plant- ing them in a barrel. Big plump fully ripened strawberries are something for the whole family to enjoy and at today's market prices, home grown berries will make a big differ- ence in the food budget. Quantity Rates 50 strawberry plants are sold at the 100-rate; 500 at the 1000-rate. Except for Rockhill, 25 plants of a variety is the minimum sold. Donner One of the best of the new hybrids recently developed by University of California research and one of the best for growing in Southern California. You will find the large, bright, glossy, red berries to be of topnotch dessert quality with a superb flavor. Bears early, ripens evenly, and keeps well. An excellent all-around strawberry for home or market use. 2501-25 for $1.50, 100 for $4.50, 1000 for $32.50. Klondike One of the best known strawberries in Southern Cali- fornia and a variety most widely grown commercially. The plants have exceptional vigor, clean foliage, and will probably do better under adverse conditions of soil and climate than any variety in our list. Bears very large crops of good-sized berries, which are brightly colored and firm. A good shipper and a good keeper. 2512-25 for $1.25, $3.75 per 100, $26.00 per 1000. Streamliner With this fine everbearing type in your garden, you will enjoy a long season and high quality. The berries are huge, yet quite regular in shape, deliciously fla- vored and beautifully colored. Every bright red berry is brimful of Vitamin C and sugar sweet. Within just a few weeks after planting, you will start enjoying the first berries and from then on there will be a never ending procession until cold weather next fall. 2520-25 for $2.50, 100 for $8.00, 1000 for $60.00. 20th Century A recently introduced everbearing type which is fast taking commercial honors away from older kinds. Right at home in Southern California, 20th Cenrury bears tremendous crops and the enormous, beautifully colored fruit brings top market prices. It will give you some of the first strawberries of-the season and continue to produce big crops until late fall. The berries are not quite as regular in shape as those of Streamliner, but they have a sweetness and richness of flavor almost equal to that of Rockhill. 2523-25 for $2.50, $8.00 per 100, $60.00 per 1000. Planting Instructions Complete instructions telling you just how to plant and care for your berry plants are included with each order. Follow them carefully for best possible results. The new Magnaberry produces unbelievably large crops of gigantic berries over a long season
