The fall-bearing or so-styled "Everbearing'^ 

 Strawberries are interesting and have merit. 

 Fortunately nearly all of them are excellent in 

 quality and give a heavy yield of fruit in June. 

 The subsequent or autumn crop is much less 

 profuse. If, however, the blossoms are faith- 

 fully removed from the plants until the middle 

 to the last of June, the autumn crop will be 

 very greatly improved — both in size of yield 

 and the berries themselves. Aside from re- 

 moving the blossoms by hand picking the cul- 

 ture of these autumn-bearing varieties is the 

 same as other Strawberries, as set forth on 

 page 3. 



Upon moist, fertile land our pot-grown plants 

 of these fall-bearing strawberries give sweet, 

 ripe berries in a few weeks from the time they 

 are planted. We advise "Hill Culture" (done 

 by clipping off all the runners soon after they 

 appear, thus restricting the growth to the 

 parent plants) for best results with these va- 

 rieties. 



ADVANCE 



Everything considered, this is the best and 

 most valuable of the fall-bearing varieties to 

 date. In a general way, it is a good deal like 

 the popular Superb with larger berries; and 

 the plants are far better growers, more pro- 

 lific and multiply more freely. _ If confined to 

 one variety of this class, it is the one we 

 would choose. 



PROGRESSIVE.— The finest of 

 the Rockhill varieties and one that 

 has attained wide popularity. The 

 plants are of vigorous habit with 

 large clean leaves and they multiply 

 better than many of the fall-bear- 

 ing varieties do, and yield profuse- 

 ly, particularly in June. 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, glossy and of 

 fairly good quality but rather 

 small. 



The June crop begins to ripen 

 with the second early sorts and the 

 yield is so heavy as to render it a 

 profitable variety at this season. In 



the autumn it yields quite freely until freezing 

 weather destroys the fruit; the crop, however, 

 being much smaller than the one in early 

 summer. 



A reliable and valuable" variety. It was one 

 of the very best until the appearance of the 

 new sorts, such as Forward, Advance, etc.
