Everbearing or 

 Fall Bearing 

 Strawberries 



Year after year we conduct comparative tests on the basis of which we either add to or deduct from our 

 lists of Strawberries. The list of everbearing sorts was, we were convinced, getting too long. Better qualities 

 found in newcomers made the dropping of some of the old-timers desirable. And so the reader will find that 

 several of the old favorites such as "Never Fail ' and "Lucky Boy" are not offered this year. The reason 

 for this is that the varieties here offered are so far ahead of the old standbys in every way that we consider 

 it unfair, especially to the newcomers to the ranks of Strawberry growers, to continue to offer them. 



The fall-bearing or more properly styled "Everbearing " Strawberries are interesting and surely have 

 decided merit. Fortunately nearly all of them are excellent in quaUty and give a heavy yield of fruit in 

 June. The subsequent or autumn crop is frequently less profuse. If, however, the blossoms are removed 

 from the plants until the last of June, the autumn crop will be very greatly improved — both in size of yield 

 and of the berries themselves. 



On moist, fertile land our pot-grown plants of these fall-bearing Strawberries frequently produce some 

 sweet, ripe berries in a few weeks from the time they are planted. We advise "hill culture" (done by clip- 

 f)ing off all the runners soon after they appear, thus restricting the growth to the parent plants) for best 

 results with these varieties. 



Price, Pot-grown Plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.(K); except as noted. 



CHAMPION EVERBEARING.— In Michigan, 

 the original home of this remarkable variety, it out- 

 classes other overbearing varieties to such an extent 

 that it really promises to crowd them all into 

 oblivion, excepting, of course, Lovett's ALL Season — = 

 the berry without a peer! It is claimed to produce 

 line dark-red delicious strawberries from July until 

 frost ' and to be so very productive that 256 berries 

 have been found on one plant. It is hardy, a good 

 plant maker and free in pollen, so does not need the 

 association of another varietv in order to produce 

 its large crops. Dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



PRCX5RESSIVE.— This variety has a wide- 

 spread p>opularity. Each year it produces two large 

 crops : The June yield, coming with the second early 

 sorts, is so heavy, it is a profitable variety at this 

 season ; and in the autumn it yields quite freely until 

 freezing weather. 



The plants are of vigorous habit and very attrac- 

 tive with their large clean leaves. The berries are 

 so smooth and uniform in size and shape that one 

 might think them turned from a mould. They are 

 deep crimson, glossy and of good quahty, though 

 rather small during some seasons.
