Fall-Bearing* Strawberries 



All over the country the people are beginning to realize the possibilities 

 of the fall-bearing strawberries and those who were skeptical before seeing 

 them in fruit are very enthusiastic after once seeing them in 

 fruit. They are no longer an experiment; their value has been amply 

 proven and they have come to stay. The "old reliable" Farm Journal in speak- 

 ing of them says: "Every household that raises its own berries or has room 

 for a berry patch, can and should have some of the fall-bearers." 



They are no harder to grow than the "June only" kinds. 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. 



Progressive ^ wonderful fall-bearing strawberry 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 commence 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 truly wonderful. The fruit of the Progressive is 

 of good size, smooth, of good color and appearance. The plant is a good grow- 

 er and healthy. 



Superb Some growers consider the Superb the best of the fall-bearing sorts, 

 ■^ but I find the Progressive 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 mis- 

 taken it for the Chesapeake. The Superb is not only a good fall-bearing sort 

 but one of the most profitable varieties to plant for a regular season crop. 



AmericUS Tne P lant 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 strawberry flavor, and I consider it the best flavored 

 of all the fall-bearers to eat right off the vines but for table use I prefer some 

 of the others. 



Standpat Tllis would De the Dest of the Fall-Bearing strawberries if it 

 r would only make more plants, the berries are large, and it is 



one of the most prolific of them all, very fine flavor and firm. For the 

 "hill-system" of growing it is ideal after you once get the plants. I have a 

 few hundred of the plants that I am offering at 10 cents each and will supply 

 you as long as my stock lasts. This seems a very high price but it is the 

 cheapest I can grow them for. 



THINK IT OVER 



This is an age of advancement. The outlook for the Strawberry grower 

 was never better. The consumers are growing in number far in advance of 

 the producers, the demand for quality food stuffs is greater than the supply. 

 The cities vast population consumes a great quantity of delicacies and what 

 is more delicious than strawberries and cream. These Everbearers help swell 

 your profits. 



Why pay big prices to agents when you can get better stock 

 direct from the grower (Tingle) for less money? 



It matters not how large or small your order, it will 

 pay you to send it to me. My stock will please you.
