  The 
  only 
  imperfect 
  flowering 
  variety 
  we 
  list. 
  It 
  could 
  

   ^<*IC 
  be 
  classed 
  as 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  greatest 
  berries 
  if 
  it 
  did 
  not 
  

   have 
  this 
  fault. 
  It 
  must 
  be 
  interplanted 
  with 
  other 
  varieties 
  to 
  produce 
  

   good 
  crops. 
  This 
  being 
  done, 
  it 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  productive 
  varieties 
  in 
  

   cultivation. 
  The 
  plant 
  is 
  a 
  strong 
  grower 
  and 
  disease-resistant. 
  The 
  

   berry 
  is 
  medium 
  to 
  large 
  and 
  unusually 
  attractive. 
  It 
  is 
  very 
  profitable 
  if 
  

   given 
  proper 
  polonization.

  A

  berry 
  similar 
  to 
  Chesapeake 
  in 
  size 
  

   and 
  appearances

  does 
  not 
  have 
  the 
  quality 
  the 
  Chesa- 
  

   peake 
  has. 
  We 
  recommend 
  it 
  where 
  you 
  cannot 
  get 
  satisfactory 
  beds 
  of 
  

   plants 
  of 
  Chesapeake, 
  because 
  the 
  Lupton 
  will 
  do 
  equally 
  as 
  well 
  on 
  most 
  

   all 
  soils, 
  making 
  abundance 
  of 
  plants 
  and 
  being 
  a 
  vigorous 
  grower,

   you 
  can

  The 
  best 
  everbearing 
  strawberry 
  yet 
  introduced, 
  called 
  by 
  some 
  western 
  specialist 
  "The 
  Wonder 
  Berry" 
  This 
  

   variety 
  is 
  supreme 
  among 
  all 
  ever-bparing 
  varieties 
  even 
  as 
  the 
  Premier 
  is 
  supreme 
  among 
  the 
  early 
  spring 
  

  

  bearing 
  varieties. 
  It 
  out- 
  

   yields 
  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 
  till 
  frost. 
  

   They 
  are 
  grown 
  very 
  success- 
  

   fully 
  by 
  hill 
  culture 
  methods 
  

   as 
  well 
  as 
  matted 
  bed 
  row 
  

   system. 
  Where 
  hill 
  culture 
  is 
  

   practiced, 
  set 
  the 
  plants 
  15 
  

   inches 
  apart, 
  in 
  the 
  row 
  and 
  

   have 
  rows 
  from 
  2 
  to 
  2~y 
  2 
  feet 
  

   apart. 
  This 
  produces 
  strong, 
  

   robust 
  hills 
  that 
  produce 
  very 
  

   heavily. 
  

  

  Lucky

  Introduced 
  recently 
  by 
  an 
  

   eastern 
  plant 
  grower 
  and 
  is 
  

   worthy 
  of 
  planting. 
  We 
  do 
  

   not 
  consider 
  this 
  variety 
  

   equal 
  to 
  Mastodon, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  

   superior 
  to 
  Progressive 
  and 
  

   Champion 
  ever-bearing 
  sorts. 
  

   It 
  is 
  a 
  persistent 
  yielder 
  of 
  

   medium 
  to 
  large 
  berries 
  of 
  

   very 
  good 
  quality 
  and 
  good 
  

   appearances. 
  Makes 
  plants 
  

   quite 
  freely 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  vigorous 
  

   grower.
