Everbearing Strawberries 



THE BIG QUICK MONEY CROP 



Picking' Xiucky Strike in November. 



EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 

 have uow taken their phice as a 

 (luitk money making crop through- 

 out the country for the growers who have 

 been in doubt as to their ability in mak- 

 ing the Everbearing Strawberries pay. 

 This doubt has been overcome witli the 

 introduction of such varieties as the Mas- 

 todon and LfUcky Strike Everbearing. 

 Our customers are reporting from four to 

 twelve hundred dollars on a small invest- 

 ment, while others advise us that they 

 sell all their crop right at the patch for 

 50 to 60 cents a quart throughout the .sea- 

 son. Everbearing Strawberries are read?' 



for picking within two months after setting, and therefore is a good crop for Combination Plantings. 

 As our customers state when setting a large acreage to the standard spring fruiting varieties: 

 with a part of the space devoted to the Everbearing they pay all expenses of cultivating the Spring 

 crop with a good profit left over, in this way financing the main crop with the Everbearing, giving 

 them a much larger acreage of Strawberries with little outlay in cash. 



FOR THE HOME GARDEN. We cannot really say that a Garden is complete tinless there are 

 Everbearing Strawberries in it. that you may have the pleasure of picking these large delicious 

 berries fresh from the vines all during the summer and fall months. A small investment in Ever- 

 bearing will bring you big dividends in the pleasure of having this great fruit when it is at its best, 

 while thousands of our customers are setting enough for their home use and having surjJlus berries 

 to sell locally at a good price, where the demand always exceeds the supply. 



Lucky Strike 



The Aristocrat of All the Everbearing Strawberries 



After the Introduction of the Mastodon, there was so much attention being paid to that berry, 

 and such wonderful claims being made that we lowered our price on the Lucky Strike to cor- 

 respond with Mastodon. Thousands of our customers have tested both varieties side by side and 

 have found Lucky Strike to equal Mastodon in practically every respect, and to greatly surpass 

 it on quality. 



We have been very modest in our claims for Lucky Strike. Our customers have done most of 

 the boosting. We do claim that it is the most worthy Everbearing Strawberry that has ever come 

 to our attention both as an everbearer and a spring crop. In a test plot Spring 1928 Lucky Strike 

 was given the highest award on the three main qualities that go to make up a strawberry — namely 

 Quality of Fruit. Size and Beauty, as well as Productiveness. In this test plot were all the very 

 best late and midseason sorts. When I tell you that Lucky Strike is not only the best Everbearing 

 Strawberry, but the best variety for spring crop that we have tested on our farms in the past 

 thirty years. I am speaking the truth as I have found it, and am not making this claim in order 

 to seU any more Lucky Strike plants. As we have not one-tenth enough of these plants this year 

 to fill our orders.

? — The 

 impion 



has pleased a great many growers, and is espe- 

 cially valuable as a home garden variety. It is 

 a heavy producer of mesium- sized berries of the 

 very best eating quality, too well known to need 

 a lengthy description.

PROGRESSIVE Everbearing — Was the first real 

 everbearing strawberry, and for a long time was 

 highly advertised and spoken of. Since the in- 

 troduction of such varieties as Lucky Strike and 

 Mastodon it is not so largely planted. Fruit is 

 small to medium size, of excellent quality. Rec- 

 ommended only for home use at this time. It is 

 a good strong grower and produces a good qual- 

 ity- of berries on good rich moist garden soil,

 your plants. You boys certainly know how to grow good 

 plants.
