EVERBEARING VARIETIES 



CHAMPION— The Heavy Yielding 

 Everbearer, is rightly named for it is 

 Champion of them all. Has been plan- 

 ted by thousands of growers in the 

 last four years and as far as I know 

 there has not been an unfavorable re- 

 port. Plants set this spring, if given 

 proper care, will fruit continuously 

 from July till the ground freezes and 

 will out yield any other variety; in 

 fact with me it yields twice as much 

 fruit as Progressive, which was the 

 best everbearing variety until Champ- 

 ion was introduced. The berries are as 

 good quality as Progressive, will aver- 

 age larger size, and of same color and 

 flavor. Champion like Progressive is 

 a perfect blooming variety and does 

 not have to be planted with other var- 

 ieties. Should be planted in every gar- 

 den in America. If you have never 

 tried everbearing strawberries, or 

 have tried some of the old varieties 

 and failed would recommend that you 



give Champion a trial and I am sure 

 you will be satisfied with the results. 

 I procured my stock of Champion di- 

 rect from the originator and are gen- 

 uine Champion. 



PROGRESSIVE— For years the 

 standard everbearing variety; in fact 

 is only surpassed by Champion today, 

 and is so well known that it is not nec- 

 essary to give a lengthy description of 

 it. They will fruit from early summer 

 until the ground freezes, as frost has 

 little effect on them, the same season 

 they are set out. I have often seen ripe 

 fruit on the runner plants before they 

 take root; very productive and a sure 

 cropper every season. Plants are med- 

 ium in size, very thrifty and full of 

 vitality. Many growers made a success 

 with Progressive and will plant no 

 other variety. Progressive and Champ- 

 ion are very best varieties for making 

 preserves, jams and jellies. 



EVERBEARING PLANTS GUARANTEED TO BLOSSOM AND FRUIT 



Eiverbearing strawberries are almost a hobby with me and watch the 

 plants closely and know they are right and I guarantee that every plant, 

 if given reasonable care, will blossom and fruit the first year they are set 

 and will, upon proper proof, replace all plants that do not. 



DEWBERRIES 



Dewberries or running blackberries 

 or a very profitable crop to grow. 

 They are larger and longer than any 

 blackberry and much earlier the bulk 

 of the crop being harvested before 

 blackberries start to ripen and very 

 much in demand and sells for high 

 prices. The berries are sweet, luscious 

 and of best quality and excellent for 

 table use, jams, jellies, etc., as well as 

 for market. 



LUCRETIA — Generally conceded 

 to be the best of the dewberries and 

 the one to plant for shipping to dis- 

 tant markets. It is a strong vigorous 

 grower and very productive, bearing 

 large crops of handsome glossy black 

 berries that carries well, keeps well 

 and sells well; are sweet, soft and 

 luscious and of excellent quality. 



AUSTIN— Earlier than Lucretia 

 but not as firm but suitable for nearby 

 markets. The growers here say they 

 make more money growing Austin as 

 it is earlier and gets the highest pri- 

 ces. Very productive and berries are 

 large, sweet and of fine flavor. 



ASPARAGUS 



Asparagus is a very popular early 

 vegetable coming as it does early in 

 the spring before other vegetables are 

 ready and an acre or so will return a 

 handsome profit after it is established 

 if well taken care of. Plant in moist, 

 rich mellow soil that has been well 

 prepared and loose using plenty of 

 well rotted manure as asparagus is a 

 heavy feeder to produce best results, 

 set plants 4 to 6 inches deep, and 

 about 12 inches apart in the row, cov- 

 ering with only three inches of soil at 

 first and filling the trenches as the 

 plants grow. I can supply fine healthy, 

 vigorous 1 yr. old roots of the two fol- 

 lowing varieties which I have selected 

 as being the best. 



PALMETTO. — A splendid large 

 hardy kind, planted more extensively 

 than any other variety. 



WASHINGTON— A valuable new 

 variety recently developed by the U. 

 S. Department of Agriculture, select- 

 ing and breeding for a rust resistant 

 strain, and is being largely planted on 

 account of its rust resisting qualities. 

 Fast growing, stalks large and tender.
