What Everyone Should Know About 



Everbearing Strawberries 



When a Strawberry variety is listed as an Everbearing, this indicates that more than one 

 crop per season may be expected. All Everbearing varieties make a Spring fruiting as do 

 regular Strawberry varieties. But. in addition, Everbearing varieties will bloom again after 

 recovering from the strain of the Spring fruiting and will produce fruit beginning in August 

 and continuing until the first freeze. 



We are anxious that our customers understand several important characteristics of Ever- 

 bearing Strawberry varieties : 



1. While the Spring fruiting of Everbearing varieties compares favorably in volume with 

 regular Strawbery varieties, the Fall fruiting does not usually produce a considerable vol- 

 ume of fruit at one time. The fruiting is often spread over a period of as much as 90 

 days. For this reason we sincerely recommend that at least 100 Everbearing plants be 

 set for average family use. (This is not an attempt to sell you more Everbearing plants 

 than you need, but we know from experience it is folly to suggest planting Everbearers in 

 dozen lots or minor quantities because there would not be enough fruit at one time for table 

 use. We offer Everbearing in quantities as small as 25 plants to enable you to plant a va- 

 riety selection.) 



2. Everbearing Strawberry plants are usually a disappointment when planted in hot climates 

 where hot, sultry days and comparably warm nights are the general rule over a major part 

 of the summer. Strawberries are essentially a cool weather fruit (most regular varieties 

 are June bearing). Therefore, in sections south of Maryland the early Fall fruiting of 

 Everbearers is not usually satisfactory. Everbearers are best adapted to States north of 

 Virginia or in altitudes and areas where summer nights are generally cool. 



3. Everbearing Strawberry plants should be set in soil with plenty of humus (soil that holds 

 moisture) so that the drain of blossoming and fruiting in early Fall, when dry weather is 

 often prevalent, will not prove too severe on the plants. 



4. Everbearing Strawberry plants should not be allowed to fruit until well established. The 

 usual practice is to keep all blossoms picked oil until around July 1, or until growth is well 

 advanced. 



Everbearers can be a world of fun. If you live in a climate adapted to them you 1 will be 

 pleased with their delightful novelty. Fresh strawberries from your own garden in October 

 are truly a breath of Springtime. We repeat — if you live in an area suited to Everbearing, 

 plant them — if in doubt, make a trial planting before investing too heavily.
