Everbearing Strawberries 



Big, Luscious Berries Thru Late Summer and Fall Pay Big Dividends To 

 The Commercial and Home Grower 



THE NEW 



red rich 



EVERBEARING 



The Reddest, Sweetest, Tastiest Everbearing Straw- 

 berry offered in years. Promises to be rated among 

 the greatest everbearing varieties. 



The "RED RICH" is the result of 15 years of experiment- 

 ing and cross-breeding by Marion Hagerstrom, a Minnesota 

 farmer, who has bred strawberry plants for more than 20 

 years. 



"RED-RICH" is a cross between Fairfax and Wayzata and 

 produced 10,000 quarts per acre in the 1949 test plots. It 

 is distinguished from all other strawberries by its deep red 

 color which runs through the entire berry. The fruit keeps 

 well after harvesting and may be held for several days in 

 good saleable condition, so necessary to heavy production. 



The new plant makes possible for the first time a quick 

 freezing and perfect thawing strawberry without loss of 

 firmness, flavor or natural sugars, offering farmers a greatly 

 expanded market. 



Plants available fall and spring.

Diagram shows method of planting Everbearing Straw- 

 berry patch that will produce heavy crop of delicious berries 

 the first season. 



Note that plants are set in beds 4 rows wide with plants 

 spaced 1 foot apart each way. 



A 24 inch path between the beds allows for picking, weed- 

 ing, where necessary, or other work to be done. A patch 

 15 by 40 feet will take 500 plants and should produce 100 

 quarts the first season and thereafter. 



This new system first observed by us at Wooster, Ohio. 

 2 years ago and repeated observation has proved the merit 

 of' growing Strawberries in this manner. 



MASTODON 



(ETEKBEAREK) 



A True Everbearer And Remains One Of The Finest 



Of Our Everbearing Varieties 



It outyields some of our best June bearing sorts during 

 their season and continues to bear throughout summer and 

 fall. Berries of amazing size and superior quality, being 

 very firm and attractive. For best results newly set plants 

 should be disbudded up to July 1st. They will then bear 'til 

 frost. They are grown very successfully by hill culture 

 methods as well as matted bed row system. Where hill cul- 

 ture is practiced, set the plants 15 inches apart in the row 

 and have rows from 2 to 2y 2 feet apart. This produces 

 strong, robust hills that produce very heavily. 



GEM 



Proving More Outstanding and Dependable 

 Each Year 



One of the good everbearing varieties of recent introduc- 

 tion. Coming from the Middle West, it has adapted itself 

 to our conditions on the Eastern Shore very readily. We 

 find it to be an excellent plant maker, very productive. Ber- 

 ries are large and real beauties of excellent quality. We can 

 recommend Gem. 



Plant Bountiful Ridge selected heavy fruiting strain Gem 

 for a dependable everbearer. 



STREAMLINER 



Reports Continue Favorable On This 

 New Everbearer 



Public approval from many sections attest its fine quality, 

 rich color and real strawberry flavor. Include a generous 

 planting for year around goodness. 



Streamliner is probably receiving more publicity than any 

 everbearing strawberry of recent introduction. Coming from 

 the west it seems to be adapting itself to most central and 

 eastern growing conditions. Plants seem vigorous and pro- 

 duce good spring crops and bear almost constantly during 

 late summer and fall. Berries are medium to large, rich red 

 color throughout, having a real strawberry flavor. Stream- 

 liner makes a good fruiting lied and we recommend it for 



trial

 round and red throughout, they have a good flavor and a 

 pleasing taste. The berry is firm and does not discolor when 

 taken from the plant. Worthy of trial planting in all sec- 

 tions.
