Fall- or Everbearing Strawberries 



STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE IN OCTOBER 



The fall- or everbearing varieties are no longer an experiment; their value has 

 been amply proven and they have come to stay. The "old reliable" Farm Journal 

 in speaking of them says: "Every household that raises its own berries or has 

 room for a berry patch, can and should have fall-bearers. Even in the season of 

 peaches and grapes the strawberry is Queen of fruits as the apple is King. Mill- 

 ions of strawberry lovers would eat them the year round, if they could get them. " 



Many persons have the impression that the fall- or everbearing strawberries 

 are difficult to grow successfully, This is an error; their culture is almost as 

 simple as the "June only" kinds. For full crops in autumn, it is best to remove 

 all blossoms until from the middle to the last of June. In all other respects they 

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

PROGRESSIVE. Bears all Summer and Fall. 



Progressive The best of the 

 fall-bearing sorts. The plant is 

 of strong, vigorous habit with 

 good large leaves, and it multi- 

 plies all that it ought to. The 

 berries are beautiful ; nearly round 

 glossy, rich deep crimson, of fair 

 size, excellent quality and firm. 

 It begins to ripen with the second 

 early "June only" kinds and the 

 plants yield such vast quantities 

 of such nice and good berries it is 

 among the best for its June crop 

 alone. As it continues to yield 

 fine fruit until late autumn, it is 

 indeed a variety of great value. I 

 have thoroughly tested this vari- 

 ety, and speak from personal ex- 

 perience with it, 



Americus Plant and foliage of 



good size and good plant maker; 



blossoms strongly staminate. 



Berries of good quality, light red, 



heart-shaped and half the size ofBrandywine. Strong fruit stalks which hold the 



fruit well off the ground and frequently a small plant will produce from six to 



twelve well-loaded fruit stalks. Ripens from early June until the ground freezes. 



Superb Regarded as the largest and finest of the varieties produced by Mr. 

 Cooper. In speaking of it, "Fall-Bearing Strawberry Secrets" says: "The fruit 

 is very large, round, rich dark color, glossy, attractive and as smooth as if turned 

 in a lathe. It is not produced in as great abundance as Progressive, but each fruit 

 is large and fully developed; and above all, it has a very fine flavor. The berries 

 are only borne on the parent plants; hardly ever do you find a young plant bearing 

 fruit. This variety does its best when planted in hills, with runners cut." 



haps this condition is usual as we never grew 

 Strawberries from young plants before, but I think 

 not. 1 lay it all to the variety and the good stock.

Such Sturdy Looking Plants 



1 think a word is due you concerning the Helen 

 Davis Strawberry plants purchased of you last fall. 

 They were fine plants in the first place, packed 

 well and arrived in good order. We set them in 

 quite ordinary soil, not the best; put a good quan- 

 tity of rotted manure around them and when cold- 

 er almost covered them with litter. As you were 

 generous enoug-h to send 106, we have 104 now as 

 only two have died. These plants have g'one 

 through quite a drougth the last few weeks but 

 now we have rain. They began early to send out 

 blossoms and now even the tiniest of them has 

 some on. Such sturdy looking plants! Some of the 

 blossoms are nearly the size of a wild rose. Per-
