FALL-BEARING OR EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 

 STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE IN OCTOBER 



PROGRESSIVE. For description see page 8 



The fall- or everbearing varieties are no longer an experiment ; their value has been amply proven 

 and they have come to stay. The ''old reliable" Farm Journal in speaking of them, says: "Every 

 household that raises its own berries or has room for a berry patch, can and should have fall-bear- 

 ers. Even in the season of peaches and grapes the strawberry is Queen of fruits as the apple is 

 King. Millions of strawberry lovers would eat them the year round, if they could get them." 



Many persons have the impression that the fall- or everbearing strawberries are difficult to 

 grow successfully. This is an error; their culture is almost as simple as the ''June only" kinds. 

 For full crops in autumn, it is best to remove all blossoms until from the middle to the last of June. 

 In all other respects they should be given the same treatment as other varieties of strawberries. 



AUTUMN (P) 



/ 



A free grower and a good plant maker at Mon- 

 mouth and the plants yield enormously, espe- 

 cially in June. Its blossoms being pistillate, it 

 should be planted with Pan American or some 

 other fall-bearing variety having perfect blos- 



soms in order to secure a crop of berries from it 

 in the autumn. The berries are nearly round, of 

 good size and attractive but lack firmness. It 

 is not of high qualitv. Pot-grown plants, 75c.; 

 100, $4.00. 



AMERICUS 



Plant and foliage of good size and a fairly 

 good plant maker; blossoms strongly staminate. 

 Berries of good quality, light red, heart-shaped 

 and half the size of Brandywine. Strong fruit 

 -talks which hold the fruit well from the ground 



ind frequently a small plant will produce from 

 -ix to twelve well-loaded fruit stalks. Ripens 



rom early June until the ground freezes. Pot- 

 grown plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00.
