FALL-BEARING 

 STRAWBERRIES, Cont'd. 



Advance. — Compared with the other v arieties. 

 Advance most resembles the Superb: Init pro- 

 duces larger berries, and the plants are better 

 growers and more prolific. The berries are 

 deep crimson, nearly round, of good size, quite 

 uniform in size and shape, of firm, meaty tex- 

 ture, and of good qualit}-. 



Forward. — As a truh^ Fall-bearing a ariety. 

 Forward is notable, for it is more prolific dur- 

 ing the autumn than most of the other va- 

 rieties. The bright colored berries are of ex- 

 cellent qualit}' being firm, sweet, rich, with 

 true strawberry 

 flavor. The plants, 

 too, are very vigor- 

 ous growers and ^ 

 quite prolific. 



Francis. — A fall or 

 everbearing variety 

 that is highly es- 

 teemed by many 

 growers. especially 

 in the Middle West. 

 The plants are vig- 

 orous growers, 

 healthy and very 

 prolific, and the 

 fruit is of fair size 

 and of excellent 

 quality. In habit of 

 growth and other 

 characteristics very 

 similar to Progres- 

 sive, but is much 

 more fruitful. 



Ideal. — A most 

 promising variety. 

 In vigor and size of 

 plant it is a decided 

 improvement upon 

 the older varieties, 

 and the berries are 

 of large size and as 

 fine in quality as any 

 June-bearing variety. 



SUPERB 



NEVER FAIL.— 



An everbearing va- 

 riety produced by 

 uoUenizing the June- 

 bearing variety, Bu- 

 bach, with the ever- 

 lasting 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 pro- 

 ductive of fruit as 

 Superb." Dozen. 

 SI. 50: 100, $9.00. 



Progressive. — This 



Aariety has a wide- 

 s])read popularitA". 

 Fach year it pro- 

 duces two large 

 crops; the June 

 yield, coming with 

 the second early 

 sorts, is so heavy, it 

 is a profitable va- 

 riety at this season; 

 and in the autumn it 

 yields quite freely un- 

 til freezing weather. 

 The plants are of vigorous habit and very attrac- 

 ti\e. 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 quality. 



Superb. — Xo other Fall-bearing variety is so well 

 known or so largeh- planted. It 3-ields a good crop 

 ])Oth summer and autumn. Pot-grown plants set 

 (mt in summer yield a few berries the first autumn 

 and a fine crop the following year. The berries are 

 nearly round, smooth, dark crimson, glossy, of sweet 

 mild flavor and larger than those of the 

 Progressive. Plants are vigorous for a Fall- 

 bearing variety, with clean, dark-green 

 lea\es.
