Everbearing Strawberries 
i Preéminently a home-garden berry, although 
Progressive. the fruit may be shipped short distances if 
properly packed. The method of raising these berries is the same as 
for the other sorts, excepting that for the first season all blossoms 
that come before the first or middle of July should be cut off. The 
berries are of medium size but the plants bear so freely that one 
forgets the size and is amazed at the quantity; and the supply does 
not fail until after severe frosts come. The berries are delicious 
during the whole season. See prices in regular list. 
Superb. This variety is well named, and it is often a question 
whether Superb is not the equal of Progressive. So far as growth is 
concerned the two are almost identical, but Superb does not bear 
such great clusters of fruit. Superb seems to be a better variety for 
the North than the South. It is a good variety for home gardens or 
for growing ona large scale for market. The fruit is firm, ships well, 
and appeals to the buyer who caters to a high-class trade as well 
as to the consumer who likes to have delicious berries late in the 
year. See prices n regular list. 
Early Strawberries 
Excelsior. Early. Large, firm, high colored, and well shaped. Im- 
mensely productive and will replace Mitchell's Early wherever tried. 
Shape and color like a Wilson; plant is large and robust. 
Mitchell’s Early. Extra early. Healthy, rampant, many crowns; 
berries scarlet, rich, mild, acid. 
Campbell’s Early. This berry has ‘‘made a hit’’ with growers in 
New Jersey, who say it is productive and profitable. 
Premier. Extra early. Fruit large, deep red clear through to the 
center. Specially recommended for home use and in markets. 
Midseason Strawberries 
Berries uniform, shapely, rich dark red, mild and 
Klondyke. delicious, very juicy, and handsome; sell quickly. 
Plants are tall, compact; stalks strong; leaves light green. Abundant 
runners and an unusual number of crowns. Yields are wonderful. 
Blossoms are perfect but do not fully fertilize themselves and need 
other sorts near. The name is suggestive of the results this variety 
brings—often a gold mine would fall behind this Strawberry in 
bringing profits. Our best-paying early berry. 
Big Valley. Because of its high quality it is recommended as a home 
garden berry. In size of fruit and general characteristics it is similar 
to New York. 
BUBACH. Large size and handsome color are its most valuable 
characteristics. Color is a beautiful bright red, neither dark nor 
light. Foliage is dark and waxy. Berries thick, meaty, fine-grained, 
often weighing an ounce and a quarter each. Plants thrive in any 
soil and in any section, and have stout crowns, with short stems.
