Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 



Another year has proven that fall bearing strawberries are the most valuable addition 

 to the strawberry world that has ever been known. All over the country people are begin- 

 ning to realize their possibilities, and those who a year or two ago were skeptical are 

 now enthusiastic. 



Outside of the labor of keeping the blossoms off the first year, their care is no different 

 than ihat given the spring sorts, and the returns they will give you the first year alone 

 will be worth many times the money and labor expended on them. 



If you desire to raise fruit for market these fall-bearing varieties will give you an op- 

 portunity to sell when the strawberry supply is limited. Fall bearing strawberries have 

 opened up a new field for the commercial grower. 



They are no harder to grow than the "June only" kind. For full crops in autumn it 

 is best to remove all blossoms until about the first or middle of July. In all other respects 

 they should be given the same treatment as other varieties of strawberries. 



Don't forget that Fall-Bearing Strawberries produce a crop the same year as set. What 

 is just as important, they produce a big crop the following June the same as the standard 

 varieties, and then bring another crop in the fall of the second season. 



TOP NOTCH-Big, sweet and productive.

AMERICUS. The plant of the Americus is very 

 healthy and a strong grower ; the berry is medium 

 to large in size, firm, uniform shape, bright red 

 through and through. The plant when loaded with 

 berries is a beauty. The berries have the wild straw- 

 berry flavor, and I consider it the best flavored of 

 all strawberries. I have the nicest lot of Americus 

 plants that I have ever grown. 



IDEAL. One of the newest of the ever-bearers and 

 also considered one of the best. The plant resembles 

 both Progressive and Superb. The berry resembles 

 Progressive but larger. More productive than Superb 

 but not ;-s productive as Progressive. Makes runners 

 freely. Worth a trial. 



PEERLESS. A new ever-bearing variety intro- 

 duced by Samuel Cooper, of New York. Mr Cooper 

 also introduced ;:'uperb, and in comparison he says: 

 "Peerless is better than Superb, being a more vigor- 

 ous grower, more productive of somewhat larger fruit 

 and fully equal to Superb in quality." After fruiting 

 Peerless one season I find it all Mr. Cooper claims 

 for it, especially in the quantity and size of the 

 fruit. If you are growing Superb, try a few Peerless. 



PROGRESSIVE. A wonderful fall-bearing straw- 

 berry and considered the best by many growers. The 

 spring-set plants not only produce a big crop of 

 berries the same season, but the runner plants com- 

 mence to bear fruit as soon as set, and quite often 

 you will find a runner plant full of blossoms and 

 berries before it has made any roots, and in this 

 way Progressive yields a crop of fruit the first year 

 that is ti-uly wonderful. The fruit of the Progressive 

 is of good size, smooth, of good color and appearance. 

 The plant is a good grower and healthy. 



SUPERB. Some growers consider the Superb the 

 best of the fall-bearing sorts, but I find the Progress- 

 ive the best with me. The Superb is not as good a 

 grower as the Progressive, but is ideal for the hill 

 system of growing ; nor does it produce as many 

 berries, but the berries are of large size and very 

 handsome. It resembles the Chesapeake so much that 

 some persons have mistaken it for the Chiesapeake. 

 The Superb is not only a good fall-bearing sort, but 

 one of the most profitable varieties to plant for a 

 regular season crop. 



TOP NOTCH. A wonderful ever-bearing variety. 

 It is a strong, luxuriant grower, leaves are round, 

 dark green, very tough, and not affected by any 

 leaf spot. One of the most productive of the ever- 

 bearers. Its fruit being fully as large as that of the 

 r'liperb and much more productive with me. If you 

 want something extra good try Top Notch. 



SPECIAL. With a view to encourage 

 the planting and testing of these inter- 

 esting anil valuable fall-bearing Straw- 

 berries, I Will send 25 each of the above 

 varieties by mail, postpaid for $3.50.
