PRODUCTIVE (P) 



"Parentage Pan American and Autumn, it is 

 an imperfect blossom and requires a perfect blos- 

 som fall-bearing variety set with it to pollenate 

 its blossoms. The plants are very large, with 

 dark green foliage. It makes plenty of runners. 

 It fruits considerably on new runner plants. The 

 berries are above medium in size, color light red, 

 heart shaped, very firm, seeds prominent : a good 

 shipper. I think this the most productive of any 

 variety I ever saw. It should be grown in hills." 

 — "Originator." 



'"The berries literally lay about the plants in 

 heaps and piles ; the size and quality are deter- 

 mined by the quantity produced. If you wish 

 to grow only large specimens of the best quality 

 it is necessary to remove a large proportion of 

 the blossoms." — "Fall-bearing Strawberry Secrets." 



I have had this variety for two years. The 

 fruit is fine and the yield all that can be desired. 

 The plants are strong, healthy, vigorous and mul- 

 tiply freelv. It is a verv valuable variety. (See 

 cut.') Dozen. $1.00 : 100,* $6.00. 



^Progressive 



Standpat. etc.), which have created such wide- 

 spread interest in fall-bearing Strawberries. In 

 a letter bearing date of June 12, 1912, Mr. Rock- 

 hill says: "Progressive I think is the best va- 

 riety I have ever produced. Good reports come 

 from all parts of the country. I believe it \vill 

 be a leader in its class. As a spring fruiter, G. S. 

 Christy, of Xebraska. writes: "On ^lay 19th I 

 commenced picking Johnson's Early and on the 

 21st commenced picking Progressive, putting it 

 right in the class of the earliest ; it is bigger, 

 better in quality and three times as productive 

 as any of them.' It was our best variety last 

 year and is the best thing on the place now." 



It has been my privilege to test this variety 

 in advance of its being offered for sale, and I 

 have nothing but good words to say of it. It is 

 grand. The berries are of good size, beautiful 

 and luscious — the plants vigorous, prolific and are 

 produced in goodly numbers. As it surpasses 

 Americus. Francis, Iowa. etc.. I omit these va- 

 rieties from this catalog. Dozen. $2.00; 100,

^SUPERB 



Pvegarded as the largest and finest of the va- 

 rieties produced by Mr. Cooper (Autumn, Pan 

 American. Productive, etc.) and claimed by some 

 to surpass all the other fall- or ever-bearing va- 

 rieties. I have had it two years and I know it 

 to be a "Superb" variety indeed. In speaking of 

 it. "Fall-bearing Strawberry Secrets" says: "The 

 fruit is very large, round, rich dark color, glossy, 

 attractive and as smooth as if turned in a lathe. 

 It is not produced in as great abundance as 

 Productive, but each fruit is large and fully de- 

 veloped; and above all, it has the finest flavor. 

 The berries are only borne on the parent plants; 

 hardly ever do you find a young plant bearing 

 fruit. This variety does its best when planted in 

 hills, with runners kept cut." See illustration of 

 a di^-h of Superb on page 4. Dozen, $1.00; 100.
