PROLONG THE STRAWBERRY 



SEASON UNTIL FROST 



by planting the 



FallTruiting Strawberries 



AMERICUS and PROGRESSIVE. 



They will produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary strawberries, and keep on bearing until frost, yet to get the best 

 results the blossoms should be kept cut off until August 1st, so as to conserve the energies of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in 

 that way ripe fruit will be borne in about three weeks after that date and continuously until frost. One grower by that method 

 gathered nearly 400 quarts from 500 plants set out in the spring; a splendid demonstration of their productive power. The quality 

 is superb, the size is good, but not up to the large June berries, because of the season at which they are borne. The plants must 

 not be allowed to suffer for water in the fruiting season and a mulch will be foand to be of great advantage. High cultivation is 

 essential for the best results in all crops and in growing these Strawberries a little extra attention will pay well. There is no more 

 trouble in growing them, than in growing the ordinarv Strawberries, but they have to be attended to in proper season.

ground. This variety has fruited here the past four years on spring set 



plants and new runners from July to cold weather. It is not uncommon 



for a spring set plant to produce from six to twelve well-loaded fruit -stalks.
