OK, here is the link to the page of strawberry's we ordered.

BloomingBulb.com

What we actually ordered was:
Strawberry Collection - Allstar, Ozark & Quinault 50111

We didn't wind up using them because at the time I didn't know that they were going to be dormant plants. Though I was wondering why the shipping was so cheep for live plants. They are actually the plants root ball, that is packed in sawdust like bulbs to ship. You plant the root ball and it grows back. It was almost summer here and I didn't want to wait for them to come back because it was already getting hot, and didn't know how long they had to live in our heat anyway. I only ordered them because they didn't have any at Lowe's, Home Depot or Walmart at the time. But after we ordered them they got some in at Lowe's. Then when I found out they were actually dormant plants we went back to Lowe's and got 5, 6 packs instead.

An example of the prices:

Strawberry Plants - Allstar - Junebearer
Item #20206
Quantity:......Each Price:........Sale Price:
10..................$0.55................$0.39
30...................$0.31...............$0.22
100.................$0.22................$0.15
500+...............$0.18................$0.13

You can also do a search for Live strawberry plants for sale and find more places to order them from. "Quinault" is supposed to be the biggest and sweetest of the different variety's and usually what they sell at the market.
