Ordered 10 last year - don't recall whether from Gurney's or Henry Field - 
along with 50 Ozark Beauty, and 25 each of a couple of junebearing varieties.
Last time I'll order strawberries from anyone other than an actual berry 
nursery, like Indiana Berry, etc.  Really sorry plants, on all varieties, 
dried out or moldy - most were DOA or just failed to thrive.  I think one 
Strazzberry survived the summer.
