FAI^i; BEARING STBAWBXSBBIES. 



You can have strawberries just as early 

 in the fall as in the spring: by planting- 

 the Iowa, Americus and Superb, known as 

 the fall-bearing- varieties. These varieties 

 will produce heavy crops in the fall of as 

 fine berries as any spring- ripening- straw- 

 berries. Truly a luxury for home and 

 profitable for market. Think of having- all 

 the berries you can use on your table dur- 

 ing the months of September, October and 

 November and later if not killed by freez- 

 ing- weather. 



You should plant some of these — the 

 latest thing in the strawberry world. You 

 will have to do this in order to stay up 

 with the crowd, and you want to do that. 

 The Iowa is the leader and is considered 

 the most successful of all the fall-bearing- 

 strawberries, a heavy bearer of splendid 

 fruit and of good quality and size; plants 

 hardy and robust. The Americus is a 

 splendid berry and will please all who plant 

 it. It has good color and shape and fine 

 quality. Superb, another of the best of 

 the fall-bearing varieties, yields a fine 

 quality of fruit. These varieties are all 

 staminate or perfect blooming- berries and 

 each will bear planted by themselves. 

 Ready for shipment from October 15th.
