FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES 



The fall-bearing or so styled "Everbearing" Strawberries are interesting and have merit. 

 Fortunately, nearly all of them are excellent in quality and give a heavy yield of fruit in 

 June. The subsequent or autumn crop is less profuse. If, however, the blossoms are removed 

 from the plants until the middle to the last of June, the autumn crop will be very greatly im- 

 proved — both in size of yield and the berries themselves. Aside from removing the blossoms 

 by hand picking, the culture of these autumn-bearing varieties is the same as other Strawber- 

 ries, as set forth on page 3. 



Upon moist, fertile land our pot-grown plants of these fall-bearing Strawberries give 

 sweet, ripe berries in a few weeks from the time they are planted. We advise "hill culture" 

 (done by clipping off all the runners soon after they appear, thus restricting the growth to 

 the parent plants) for best results with these varieties. 



Price, Pot-grown Plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.00; except as noted. 



LUCKY BOY 



In its New England home this variety is claimed to be "the biggest, sweetest, and most 

 productive everbearing strawberry as yet produced," and we believe this to be no exaggera- 

 tion. We are, in fact, so pleased with what we have seen of it, that we planted the past 

 spring an extra large quantity of parent plants, so as to be able to supply our patrons with 

 all the plants they want of what we believe to be the very best of all the many varieties of 

 Everbearers. Lucky Boy, as compared with the variety Superb, is a trifle larger, even more 

 round in shape, and is very much firmer. It is enormously productive in Summer (more so 

 than Superb), and is of very much better flavor. A large . commercial grower who has made a 

 ca-eful study of the Fall-bearing varieties recently wrote us that in the future he would grow no 

 other Everbearing sorts than Lucky Boy and Progressive. He added that Lucky Boy is superio-r 

 in every way with him to the popular variety Superb. Dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00.
