“THE WORLDS CHAMPION” 
Everbearing Strawberry. 
Champion— Is fast becoming: the leader 
in everbearing: strawberries because of its 
large crops of fine delicious berries that 
ripen from early summer until December, 
not in spasms, but in large quantities every 
week for five months the first year plantsare 
set. Berries are of the same extra quality 
as Progressive, but a great deal larger and 
much more productive. We have sent it out 
north, south, east and west, and nothing: but 
2ood reports have come back. 
Mrs. Parker, of New York State writes:- 
August 25th, have picked over 500 quarts 
of fine berries from the 1000 Worlds Cham- 
pion plants sent to us last April, and have 
hardly commenced as they are hanging with 
blooms, green and ripe berries, never saw 
any thing like it before, getting 25c per pint 
basket all we can get. 
Mr. Franklin, of Pa., writes:-August 15th. We have 
been growing Progressive for several years and have 
made big money growing them for our local market. 
But last spring taking your advice I set out Champion, 
and am glad that I did for I am getting now three times 
as many berries from my Champion plants as I am 
from Progressive and Perfection, and the size makes 
them sell for 5c per quart more. I expect to plant an 
acre next spring. Mrs. Emery at Pine Hurst, N. C., 
writes:- From the 200 Champion plants I am gathering 
fifteen quarts of berries every week which supplies my 
table for three days each week, and every one that 
eats them is delighted. 
CHAMPION—Everbearing 
It would take several pages to give the good ac- 
counts that we have received from this variety this 
summer. My advice is to plant Champion early as you 
can work your land this spring, and you will never re- 
gret it. And if you are a market gardener, plant an 
aes for market. It will be your best paying acre on the 
arm. 
Prices are right for true to name quality plants. 
Take no chances with substitutes or ‘Cheap John” 
Plants. You will find the best is cheapest every time. 
PROGRESSIVE, (Per) 
Everbearing Strawberry. 
Progressive—Is the best known everbearing straw- 
berry because it was the first worth while strawberry 
to be introduced that produced berries in quantities dur- 
ing the summer and fall months. 
Progressive will be planted largely for years to 
come. Many growers think it good enough and will not 
try any others. It will be years before enough Worlds 
Champion and Lucky Strike can be grown in sufficient 
quantities to supply the demand and lots of growers 
will have to be content with Progressive which in most 
cases will give good satisfaction. In fact if there had 
never been any better, we would all have been perfectly 
satisfied. 
We have received letters from our customers where 
more than $1,000.00 clear profits had been made from 
a single acre of Progressive berries in the same year 
plants were set. This should satisfy any one as to prof- 
it. But Champion comes along and nets over $2,000.00 
and that is better and we all, or most of us want Cham- 
pion. 
A few hundred Progressive plants in the garden 
have made many happy hearts in the American chil- 
dren and housewives of America. Let us not fail to 
plant plenty of this God’s best fruit for them every year. 
It costs but little and pays big. 
LUCKY BOY, (Per) 
Everbearing Strawberries. 
Lucky Boy—still holds the record as being the Big- 
gest, Sweetest, and Most Productive of the everbearing 
strawberries in some Northern Sections of the Coun- 
try, in other sections it is a failure. 
Lucky Boy is adapted to Hill Culture in any Cli- 
mate as it does not produce much fruit on new runner 
plants first year. For several years it was a winner on 
our berry farms and produced more fruit than any other 
berry either fall crop or spring crop, but for the last 
two seasons it has failed to produce heavy in the sum- 
mer and fall first year. But we are still getting the 
very best reports from many of our customers and every 
year finds us sold out on Lucky Boy plants. 
MINN. 1017, (Per) 
Everbearing Strawberries. 
On the advice of some of our customers we set a 
small acreage last spring to Minn. 1917. This is a vari- 
ety from the Minn. Exp. Station that is said to be a 
leader in the North and North West. Fruit very large 
dark red and good quality. Some plants makes an 
enormous production, while others do not fruit at all in 
the fall and summer is the habit of growth we under- 
stand. This is the way it behaves on our grounds. 
Will be sold only in small quantities. 
Prices of Lucky Boy, Minn. No. 17, Never Fail and Superb: 25 Plants $1.00; 50 Plants $1.50; 100 Plants $2.50. 
Large quantities at the 100 rate.
