EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 



The Everbearing varieties of Strawberries frequently termed "Fall-bearing," have decided 

 merit. Fortunately, practically all of them are excellent in quality and give a heavy crop of 

 fruit in June as well as a good crop in late summer and autumn. 



In order to be assured of a heavy fall crop, it is best to remove, as they appear, all 

 blossoms until the first or middle of July. Aside from removing the blossoms by hand pick- 

 ing, the culture of these autumn-bearing varieties is the same as other Strawberries as set 

 forth on page 3. 



Upon moist, fertile land, our plants of these fall-bearing Strawberries give sweet, ripe 

 berries the same season they are planted. We advise "hill culture" (done by clipping oft all 

 the runnners soon after they appear, thus restricting the growth to the parent plants) for 

 best results with these varieties. 



LUCKY BOY 



FORWARD.— As a truly Fall-bearing va- 

 riety, Forward is notable, for it is more pro- 

 lific during the autumn than most of the other 

 varieties. The bright colored berries are of 

 excellent quality, being firm, sweet, rich, with 

 true strawberry flavor. The plants, too, are 

 very vigorous growers and quite prolific. 

 Dozen, $1.00; 100, $3.00. 



IDEAL. — A most promising variety. In 

 vigor and size of plant it is a decided improve- 

 ment upon the older varieties, and the berries 



After having tested under various conditions 

 practically all of the Everbearing varieties of 

 Strawberries, our verdict is that Lucky Boy 

 is "entitled to the Blue Ribbon." It is so 

 far better than any other Everbearing variety 

 as yet introduced, at least, of which we have 

 any knowledge, as to be in a class by itself. 



In many respects it resembles the variety 

 Superb, but it is much more productive, de- 

 cidedly firmer, half again as large and of bet- 

 ter quality, it also is a better plant maker. To 

 be brief, it is a glorified Superb. 



Following is a report submitted by one of 

 our foremen:

 Everbearing Strawberries as I have seen them 

 this summer. You know, from having gone

 June-bearing variety. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $3.00. 



NEVER FAIL. — An everbearing variety 

 produced by pollenizing the June-bearing va- 

 riety, Bubach, with the everbearing sort, 

 Superb. It is claimed by the originator that 

 "the plants of Never Fail are as vigorous and 

 make as many new runners to the plant as 

 Superb and it is three times as productive 

 of fruit as Superb." We have not as yet fruited 

 Xever Fail at Monmouth, but are favorably 

 impressed with what we have so far heard and 

 seen of it. Dozen, $1.00: 100, $6.00. 

 through the fields yourself, how much better a y PROGRESSIVE,— The finest of the Rock- 



grower is Lucky Boy than any of the other 

 Everybearing sorts. Y'ou also know how 

 many more plants it has made than any of the 

 other varieties. Most all of our Everbearers 

 have done well this summer, but Lucky Boy 

 is so far ahead of all others that I am sure it 

 would be unwise for anyone to plant any other 

 variety. Even during the s'?vere rlrontrht of 

 August, during noon hours, I permitted some 



hill varieties. The plants are of vigorous habit, 

 with large, clean leaves, and they multiply bet- 

 ter than many of the fall-bearing varieties do 

 and yield profusely. The berries are so smooth 

 and uniform in size and shape they have the 

 appearance of having been made in a mould, 

 are deep crimson, elossv and of good quality, 

 but rather small. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.50; 1.000.
