SUPERFECTION 



World's Finest Everbearer 



Superfection remains, in our opinion, the best of all 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 plants. Under very good conditions they set plants quite freely. Under 

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

 irrigated. Where grown in the hill system 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. 



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. 



Superfection is also sold as Geixi/ which was the original name. In post years a variety known 

 as Brilliant proved to be identical with Gem and Superfection. With virus free plants to eliminate 

 differences in vigor of individual stocks you will find Gem and Superfection identical. Order 

 them by either name and you will have the best of the everbearers. 



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. 

 Our supply is very limited this year and we urge you to order early. Price list page 32.

 have always found them to be excellent bearers. Enclosed is order for 50 Superfection plants."

STREAMLINER 



Streamliner brings in good reports from many areas of the mid-south and mid-west. It makes 

 runners fairly freely under most growing conditions. The berries are medium to large, having a 

 red color throughout. Both the flavor and appearance are good. The plants produce a spring crop 

 and continue to bear through late summer and fall, with the best crop in the fall. The variety is 

 worthy of trial if you know someone who has successfully grown it in your area. Price list page 32.
