Testing The Worlds 
Champion 
Everbearer 
On Our Farms 
Spring 1923 we planted a large plot of the 
Champion everbearer for fruiting purpose only. 
We selected a piece of practically new soil that 
had grown a crop of cow peas last year. 
Plants were set in April and the blossoms 
kept off until July 15th which was as long as we 
could possibly keep them back. We let the 
plants make a narrow row. July 15th we spread 
between the rows 1000 pounds of bone meal and 
dry fish half and half, to the acre, this was im- 
mediately cultivated in, and the plants were 
kept cultivated every week from time set until 
October 15th, this was all the manure that was 
used. 
An actual count was made of every quart 
picked and the actual sales the average per acre 
was more than 6000 quarts net or $1200.00 per 
acre, $150.00 for each 1090 plants set, and pros- 
pect for $500.00 or more from the spring crop. 
We did not make a world record on this crop 
nor did we try, we just wanted to see what our 
favorite everbearing variety would do in a com- 
mercial way. Less than one-fourth our crop 
was sold on our local market, as there are a 
good many everbearing berries grown here; too 
many, for local use, and we had to ship our ber- 
Special Price to Market Gardeners: 
ries to Baltimore and Philadelphia markets, a 
distance of more than 100 miles. Anyone with 
good soil, that will give good clean cultivation 
can do as well. And those who have more fa- 
vorable markets can do better. 
The Champion has been on the market only 
two years, but it has been widely distributed. 
We have sold plants in practically every state 
and have received nothing but good reports 
from every section. Those wishing to plant 
something for a quick money crop can not do 
better than plant Worlds Champion Everbear- 
ing Strawberries. And no garden should be 
without a bed large enough for family use. 
Prices of plants are remarkable low this season. 
Mr. Edw. J. White of N. J..—writes us No- 
vember 6th, 1923, as follows: Plants we got 
from you have done fine despite the dry weath- 
er and unfavorable place I had to plant them. 
They were planted on a hillside with stone and 
iron ore. I had to shovel dirt to cover plants in 
some places where it was all rock, but despite 
this we had plenty big fine berries and the 
plants all growed fine, some of the berries were 
as big as apples. I sure want more if we can 
get the help.
