WHAT TO EXPECT FROM 
FALLBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
This popular fruit is highly prized by the market gardeners, and 
for home garden plantings. Their popularity have increased con- 
siderably since the introduction of the new, heavier-yielding 
strains, which are producing more uniform fruit and of much 
better quality. The fallbearing varieties of strawberries have 
their advantages over the standard, spring-fruiting varieties in 
producing a continuous crop of berries ten weeks after setting 
until cold weather. The fruit picked often coming at a time when 
no other varieties of strawberries are on the market, command- 
ing a good price. Fall bearing in the home garden plantings tends 
to keep a Supply of fruit for the table about six months out of 
the year. A considerable amount of the fruit is marketed locally, 
aS you can always find a ready sale, to the store or a good trade 
can be had selling direct to consumer if you have a steady sup- 
ply. The new varieties of Fallbearing now on the market will 
also produce a heavy crop of berries in the spring along with 
such varieties as Aberdeen, Premier, Dorsett, and Fairfax. They 
are not quite as early as these varieties; howevcr, they can be 
classed with them in season of ripening. The spring crop of Mas- 
todon is large to extra large and of fine quality. 
EVERY HOME GARDEN SHOULD HAVE FALLBEARING 
Fallbearing Strawberries require very little space to grow them to 
perfection. Just space plants 12 inches apart in rows 12 inches 
Wide and you can hardly realize how many berries can be picked 
from one of our garden collections. The women folks are planting 
fallbearing in their iene os antes ake vegetables.
