"I am sending you a picture of my acre strawberry patch 

 grown from the 5,000 Superfection everbearing plants I got from 

 you April 1, 1958. This possibly was the biggest producing acre 

 in the United States. I sold one hotel more than a thousand quarts 

 and also supplied 35 cottages about 12,000 quarts. These plants 

 were set in extra good rich land and cultivated four times, all 

 first blooms removed. Sawdust was used for mulch." J. L. Hartley, 

 Avery County, North Carolina. March 9, 1959. 



SUPERFECTION 



World's finest Bverbearer 



Easier to grow, more productive of summer and fall berries and more attractive 

 in appearance than other everbearing varieties. This has been our experience with 

 Superfection year after year. In quality it is surpassed only by Red Rich. Perform- 

 ance alone has enabled Superfection to hold its place as the best of all the everbear- 

 ing kinds. 



Scoffed at as of little value by commercial growers for many years, the new 

 sawdust mulch spaced plant system of growing and varieties like Superfection have 

 made everbearers a real asset to your home garden and in favorable locations a 

 profitable money crop. 



Superfection berries are light in color and quite attractive in appearance. They 



are firm enough to ship moderate distances but 

 mostly they are used at home or sold on local 

 markets. The flavor is quite tart but with sugar 

 added Superfection makes a very fine addition to 

 late summer and fall desserts. 



All our plants of Superfection are grown from 

 virus free stocks. If you are interested in the 

 satisfaction and novelty of having fresh berries 

 out of season in your home garden Superfection 

 is your best bet. If you will use the sawdust 

 spaced plant system of growing everbearers, 

 similar to the one described on page 30, your 

 chances of good results with Superfection or any 

 other everbearer are greatly increased. Price 

 list page 32. 



GEM 



Superfection is also sold as Gem, which was 

 the original name. Also the plants which we 

 bought as Brilliant from two sources proved to be 

 identical with Gem and Superfection. With virus 

 free plants to eliminate differences in vigor of in- 

 dividual stocks you will find Gem and Superfec- 

 tion identical. Order them by either name and 

 you will have the best of the everbearers. Price
