THE BIG QUICK MONEY CROP 
BUELL CROP OF BERRIES THE SAME YEAR YOU ‘PLANT THEM: 
Large Delicious Berries From May Until December. 
Everbearing Strawberries—Are successfully grown 
in every state in the union. Thousands and thousands 
of families now have all the berries they can use from 
May until December. Fresh berries every day for the 
table means much to the average family. No garden 
crop easier to grow. Besides the growing of everbear- 
ing strawberries for home use there is more money in a 
commercial way than any other crop grown. 
Everbearing strawberries are like every other 
commodity, there are good and bad. There has been 
lots of worthless plants offered for sale as genuine ever- 
bearing, that proved nothing but failure when planted. 
We have tested nearly 100 varieties of everbearing 
and have selected the following varieties from the list 
which are proving most satisfactory to our customers 
as well as for our own growing on our home berry 
farms. We find that there are varieties that do not 
grow well in all sections that are great favorites in 
others. This applies to all varieties of strawberries as 
it has yet to come a variety that proves equally satis- 
factory in every section of the country. Often chang- 
ing the soil on the same farm makes a vast difference. 
And we have always found it the best method to test 
all new varieties as fast as they come out in a small way 
in our own breeding plots. 
We are testing several new varieties for the first 
time this summer in our own breeding beds. Among 
them is the New Rockhill, widely advertised as the 
$50,000.00 everbearing strawberry. This variety has 
proven very unsatisfactory as an everbearing to date 
on our grounds. Not a single blossom or berry has 
shown since we cut off the early spring blossoms in May. 
This fact proves that there are but few universal varie- 
ties. As there is no auestion but what Rockhill is agocd 
everbearer in Mich. or the enormous price would never 
have been paid the originator, Rockhill. Lucky Boy has 
proven the very best in many sections of the country 
and the very worst in others. Superb never was an ever 
bearer in Maryland or South of Maryland. But good 
in N. J. and farther North. Progressive has made good 
as an everbearer in every state. Although in lots of 
cases the soil did not suit perfectly and small berries 
were the cause of much complaint. Lucky Strike has 
proven more successful in every state than of any 
variety we know of with the possible exception of the 
WORLDS CHAMPION, which was only introduced 
three years ago. 
According to our own information which is received 
from every section of the country the popularity of the 
everbearing strawberries rank as follows: 
LUCKY STRIKE,—FIRST. 
CHAMPION, (Worlds Champion)—SECOND. 
PROGRESSIVE—THIRD. 
LUCKY BOY,—FOURTH. 
PLANT LARGELY of LUCKY STRIKE, CHAM- 
PION, and PROGRESSIVE—you will make no mis- 
take. While we believe Champion to be three times as 
profitable as Progressive in most States. Fruit being 
larger and produces about three times as much fruit. 
At this date Sept. lst, Champion berries are bringing 
40c per qt. on the Philadelphia market. Our sales is 
more than $100 each week net per acre. And as the 
days grow snorter the yield increases as does the prices 
Most of the other varieties that have been 
duced received no mention in our canvas. 
intro- 
LUCKY STRIKE, (Per) 
Everbearing Strawberry. 
Lucky Strike—Is considered by many to be the most 
desirable everbearing strawberry on the list. There 
has never been enough plants to get it widely planted. 
We offered our stock for sale several years ago. Be- 
fore we had a good supply the following season we lost 
our crop from a heavy rain, saving only three plants 
that were around a stump to start another supply from 
and as the demand has been heavy every year we have 
been slow to build up a stock. Two years ago we of- 
fered fifty cents apiece for what plants our customers 
could spare us and were glad to pay the price. We still 
have only a very short supply and will sell them in lots 
of 12, 25, and fifty, at $5.00 per dozen. $10.00 per 25, 
and $22.50 for fifty plants. No more than fifty plants 
sold to any one customer. 
I have just come in from my trial beds since writ- 
ing the above, and have again decided that Lucky Strike 
is still King of the everbearing. It is loaded with the 
finest largest berries I ever tasted; many of my single 
plants (that are grown in hills) will pick a quart of 
berries at this time. I have let two rows in this plot 
make all the runners they will make, and on these new 
runner plants are ripe berries and the plant not rooted. 
This proves the genuine everbearing blood. 
Lucky Strike is a very hardy plant maker having 
long roots that dig well down in the loose soil and I 
have never seen them fail to produce even in the hottest 
summers, and as a frost proof they are the limit. Every 
year we pick many berries after the snow has covered 
the ground. Don’t fail to plant a dozen Lucky Strike 
if you can get them to plant. 
Lucky Strike does not resemble any other straw- 
berry I have ever seen either in plant growth or fruit; 
it is a seedling of unknown parentage found growing 
on our own farms and the Genuine Lucky Strike plants 
can be had of no other Nursery.
