Autumn Fruiting Strawberries 



The Two Best 

 Autumn Fruiting Strawberries 



Fall Bearing Strawberries of European origin have fre- 

 quently been offered, and while we have seen^good crops of 

 fruit in specially favored localities during the late Summer and 

 Fall months, none have been of value for general planting in 

 our trying climate. The two varieties offered below are of 

 American origin and have been grown in nearly all parts of the 

 country with gratifying results; under ordinary conditions they 

 produce their main crop of fruit at the same time as other varie- 

 ties and keep on bearing until frost. The proper plan is to cut 

 off all buds as they appear until late in July, and thus conserve 

 the strength of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in this way 

 an abundant crop of berries may be looked for during September 

 and October. Good cultivation is essential to bring about the 

 best results, a liberal mulching during the summer is beneficial 

 and the plants should not be allowed to suffer for lack of water 

 at any time. 



Superb. The berries are very large, regular in shape, glossy 

 and attractive; quality extra fine. 



Progressive. This is the latest addition to the Fall-bearing 

 type and a decided acquisition; it is prolific, with beautiful, 

 good sized luscious fruit. 



Price. The two autumn fruiting Strawberries described 

 above will be supplied in pot-grown plants which will produce 

 a crop of fruit this season at 75 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; 

 $35.00 per 1000.
