ALLEN'S BOOK OF BERRIES— 1927 



The real champion of the Everbearers 



Everbearing Strawberries 



If there ever was any doubt that certain varieties of strawberry plants 

 actually do produce berries during the summer and fall, we believe that doubt 

 has long since disappeared. It is now an accepted fact that Everbearing Straw- 

 berry Plants, especially the best varieties, will produce fine, high-quality berries 

 all through the summer and fall, and those who are growing them often dig them 

 out from under the leaves after snow has fallen. Another popular thing about 

 Everbearing Strawberries is that it is no longer necessary to wait a whole year 

 after the plants are set before having berries in the garden. They can be had from 

 mid-summer to freezing weather, beginning only a few weeks after the plants are 

 set. And it is not necessary to sacrifice quality because the Everbearing Berries 

 are just as good as those borne in regular season. For the home garden, the Ever- 

 bearing Strawberry is an unquestioned success and indispensable to lovers of 

 strawberries. As a money-making proposition, we have not recommended Ever- 

 bearing Strawberries indiscriminately. Our advice has been that we doubted if 

 they were money-makers except under very favorable conditions both for growing 

 the fruit and marketing it.
