What Everyone Should Know About 
Everbearing Strawberries 
We are anxious that our customers understand several important characteristics of Ever- 
bearing Strawberry varieties: 
il 
While the Spring fruiting of Everbearing varieties compares favorably in volume with reg- 
ular Strawberry varieties, the Fall fruiting does not usually produce a considerable volume 
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 variety 
selection. ) 
Everbearers are best adapted to States north of Virginia or in altitudes and areas where 
summer nights are generally cool. 
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. 
Hverbearing Strawberry plants should not be allowed to fruit until well established. The 
usual practice is to keep all blossoms picked off until around July 1, or until growth is 
well advanced.

EVERBEARERS HIGHLY PROFITABLE 
We are pleased to present this photograph of Mr. 
William Laudenslager’s Mastedon everbearing patch 
as an outstanding example of a very productive and 
profitable garden operation. The plot is about 
Y% acre (requiring about 1500 plants). 
Says Mr. Laudenslager, “We picked 6 crates a day 
for two weeks at 50c per quart; thereafter about 3 
erates per day until slack season. In the fall we 
raised the price to 60¢c per quart with fewer pick- 
ings. We always found your plants to be healthy 
and long rooted and productive”. 
Note the straw mulch for conserving moisture and 
keeping fruit clean. Also note wide spacing and 
control of runners for best results. A small invest- 
ment in good plants has made real dollar return 
from Mr. Laudenslager’s spare-time hobby.
