Lucky Strike 



CHAMPION AXD PROGRESSIVE. They are both the same or so near alike one 

 description will answer for both. The Progressive was really the start of growing 

 the fallbearers commercially as a real money crop. The berries are not so large as those 

 of I\Iastodon but many prefer their flavor to that of any other berry. They are still 

 good under whatever name you grow them or regardless of how many other varieties 

 you are now growing. For best results do not let them bed too thick. 



LUCKY STRIKE. This is becoming very popular with some growers for home use 

 and local market, prowlng superior to Champion or Progressive. Is not as popular as 

 a shipper as Mastodon. A persistent yielder of medium to large berries of very good 

 quality and appearance; makes plants freely and is a vigorous grower. If you do not 

 already have this variety we suggest that you try it this year. 



MASTODOX. A sti'ong, \-igorous grower, producing big, juicy, sparkling red 

 berries of the most delicious flavor, ^^ith a bright green cap and are fii'm enough to 

 carry hundreds of miles in perfect condition and command good prices on the market. 

 Mastodon begins fruiting about 90 days after the plants are set and keep right on till 

 hard freezing weather in the fall, fruit again with the standard varieties the next 

 spring and after a lay-off of about four weeks start fruiting again. You \^-in not go 

 wrong in planting Mastodon. Plant a few extra; sell some berries to your neighbors. 



Be sure to include some everbearers in your order. You can have berries for 

 your o^^Tl use all summer and sell your neighbors enough to pay all costs of growing 

 them. There has always been a good local demand for the berries.
