Ever-Bearing Strawberries 



THROUGH the development of Ever-Bearing 

 Strawberries, the bearing season has been great- 

 ly lengthened, for two bountiful crops a year 

 may be harvested from these "Ever-Bearing" sorts. 

 With the exception of Mastodon, Fall-Bearing 

 Strawberries average somewhat smaller than fruit of 

 the June-Bearing varieties, but in quality and aroma 

 the Everbearers equal and often surpass the average 

 June variety. 



The size o f the b erries can be increased, if de- 

 sired, by hill culture. Cultural directions for "Ever- 

 Bearing" Strawberries are no different than for "June- 

 Bearing" varieties except that if a large fall crop is 

 desired the blossoms should be continually removed 

 until after the middle of July. The fact that two crops 

 of Strawberries may be harvested from "Ever-Bear- 

 ing" plants, if the grower desires, makes the "Ever- 

 bearing" Strawberries an excellent investment, or if 

 the grower desires only "Fall-Bearing" crops the high- 

 er prices that he can obtain are of great advantage 

 from a commercial standpoint. You will note that we 

 list only three varieties of "Ever-Bearing" Strawber- 

 ries. Two of these, the Champion and the Progres- 

 sive, have for years been the outstanding and most 

 popular "Ever-Bearing" Strawberries. The Mastodon 

 Strawberry is a recent development with qualities 

 which have placed it in the forefront of Strawberries. 

 We believe that this berry is without doubt the peer 

 of any Strawberry now being grown.
