SUPERFECTION 



World's finest Everbearer 



We favor Superfection over all other everbearers that we have tried primarily 

 because it is the best in producing berries when you want them — in late summer 

 and fall. All everbearing varieties for satisfactory, results should be planted in hills 

 with the runners removed. The Ohio system., described on page 30, has enabled 

 many growers of everbearers to have much more pleasure and profit from their 

 plantings. Superfection, under good conditions, makes an adequate number of 

 planis. Under very good conditions, they set plants almost like Blakemore. Under 

 conditions of extreme heat and draught they will almost completely die out unless 

 irrigated. Where grown in the hill system, described on page 30, with all the runners 

 removed there is usually little trouble in getting a good stand of plants and fair to 

 good crops of fruit, depending on weather conditions, particularly adequate moisture. 



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. They are well rooted, true to name 

 and strong plants, giving you your best chance of having good results with everbearers. Price List

Chester Co., Pa. Jan. 9, 1960: "Just a note io 

 tell you how pleased I was with the plants I 

 received last spring. I used the Ohio System 

 with sawdust and I picked blossoms off until 

 June 15. Started picking berries about July 1st 

 and had berries until November 10th when frost 

 killed them. I have no idea how many I picked 

 but they were very fine and everything you 

 say they are." LEON W. SHAUB. 



Marshall Co., Ky. Jan. 7, 1960: "Last summer 

 I tried 500 Superfection everbearing strawberries 

 from your catalog. For a beginner I was highly 

 successful." CARL J. GUNKEL. 



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
