Baltimore 
King Autumn (Per). A free plant maker. 
Plants strong and free from rust. Fruit 
largest of the fall bearing class; fruit 
very firm, bright scarlet, red all over, 
quality very fine. Plants set in May or 
any time in winter or spring will fruit 
same season from July to December; fruits 
on new runner plants the first year; does 
best when grown under the Hill system. 
Bears its best crop the second year, can 
be picked almost daily from May until 
December. Plant in springy soil. A valu- 
able variety and one that should be grown > 
by everyone who has a square yard of iand. 
Progressive (Per). Introduced by Rock Hill, 
Iowa. Was first known as Rockhill’s No. 
16. Introduced last season. It is of the 
Dunlap type, a strong plant maker and 
the most productive fall bearer of the 
lot. The fruit produced in the fall is by 
far the best flavored strawberry I have 
ever tasted. It is one of these kinds 
that when you get started to eating it, 
you do not want to stop. It will pro- 
duce just all the fruit you want it to; 
fruit medium to large, dark red wher 
ripe and good enough for a king in any 
season. Will produce paying crops both 
the first and second years. Over 1,000 
quarts of berries picked the first year 
from 500 plants set in April. 
Superb (Per). Ranks third with me in the 
fall bearing sorts. Fruit is large and 
very fine flavor; is a good plant maker, 
but not quite as productive as the for- 
mer, although fruit larger; does best the 
second fall. Is really the best of the 
three the second year from July to De- 
cember. Picked at the rate of 12,000 
16 
quarts to the acre the second year. There 
is no limit to the demand for this fruit. 
Perpetual Motion (Per). This variety is 
about the same as the Pan-American. 
The first variety that was introduced; 
‘very poor plant maker, fruits from May 
to December the first season, on both new 
and mother plants. Is specially adapted to 
hill culture. Fruit large, good quality. 
lowa (Per). Description of the above fits 
this one also. 
Giant Hybrids. These are from seeds of the 
leading fall bearing varieties that have 
not been separated; since grown from 
the seeds... Anyone wishing plants for 
experimenting purposes to _ select new 
varieties from should not fail to get 100 
of these plants. This is the way all the 
best varieties are brought about and a 
collection of 100 may mean a fortune to 
you. 
Americus (Per). Americus, claimed by many 
to be the best of the fall bearing class, 
is a good one, but not the best by any 
means. Size small, bright red, flavor 
very fine; will bear a good crop if fruit 
is kept off until August, but otherwise 
it will not have a heavy crop in the 
fall. 
Francis (Per). Similar to the above in 
growth of foliage, but much more pro- 
ductive. In fact, to produce plants the 
fruit must be kept picked off the first 
season up to August, anyway. If this 
is done a very good crop may be expected, 
both in fruit and plants. 
Productive (Imp). This is the best imper- 
fect blooming variety to date. Is very
